25+ Best LinkedIn Prospecting Tools to Boost Your Revenue

What’s the first thing that comes to your mind when you think of Vegas?

Most of us will unwittingly shout ‘casinos’.

How about LinkedIn? What hits you first?

A recruiter’s paradise, perhaps?

A vast majority of us perceive LinkedIn as just a job portal or even a platform to showcase our skills, experience, and education. 

A commoner usually cannot associate LinkedIn with anything else.

However, that’s not the case with salespeople – For them, LinkedIn is a true prospecting goldmine!

As of 2022, LinkedIn has 850M+ professionals listed on LinkedIn – That’s nothing but 756 million leads for them to capture!

Sales teams are in love with LinkedIn because –

1. Most businesses of the world (57 million to be precise) have pitched their tents in LinkedIn for various purposes, making it a sea of genuine and accurate information. 
2. You get access to decision-makers and influencers of the world. According to LinkedIn, four out of five LinkedIn users drive business decisions at their organizations.
3. LinkedIn throws all the necessary information at you through its plethora of handy features. For example, the ‘people also viewed sidebar’ helps expand your target audience beyond the ones you’re looking for. Similarly, endorsements and recommendations are pretty useful to identify potential leads for your businesses quickly.

A study shows that 89% of top-performing salespeople claim that by using LinkedIn as a sales tool, they are able to close more deals for their companies. It has indeed evolved into the #1 tool for sales prospecting. 

However, with great power comes great challenges. With millions of users and companies present in LinkedIn, prospecting and identifying leads becomes a classic case of finding a needle in the haystack. It gets laborious without the right set of tools to assist you.

This is where this post can help. It has listed down 26 of the top tools that work harmoniously with LinkedIn. Together, they automate most of your tasks in different stages of your sales prospecting journey. Read on…
