How to Export Leads From LinkedIn Sales Navigator (With Emails)

Sales Navigator is fantastic at sourcing top-quality leads for your business and some would say, a must-have for lead generation. However, the platform does have a few drawbacks. For example, these leads stay on the platform unless you manually copy and paste their details. You can’t export to CSV or Excel 😤

If only we could export LinkedIn search results automatically…

Sales Navigator also does not let download any emails, pushing to use Linkedin inMails instead.

Luckily, there is a simpler solution, so today, we’ll show you how to export leads from Sales Navigator automatically and how to get emails from LinkedIn Sales Navigator!

How to Export Leads from LinkedIn Sales Navigator to Excel with NioLeads

To export your leads from Sales Navigator, you need to install a Chrome Extension such as NioLeads. This will add a new “Export CSV” button on LinkedIn. Just click on it to start exporting the data of your prospects. This works on the standard Sales Navigator lead searches, but also on your custom prospects lists.

As a Sales Navigator scraper, NioLeads will let you export the leads you find on Sales Navigator to a CSV file.

But we’re not gonna export only the raw data from LinkedIn! NioLeads is also equipped with an email finder which will let us enrich our LinkedIn data with valid emails, automatically.

From there, you can use the data with other tools such as Excel, Salesforce, or your CRM.

Step 1: Create a NioLeads Account

The first step is to create a free NioLeads account. Once you log in, click on Export Sales Navigator in the sidebar.

On the screen that opens, you’ll see a short guide on how to export leads from Sales Navigator.

Step 2: Install the NioLeads Chrome Extension

The first step in the guide is to download and install the NioLeads for Sales Navigator Chrome extension. Here, you have two options.

• Go to the following Chrome Web Store link, type NioLeads in the search box, and click on NioLeads in the list of results; or
• Click on this link which will take you directly to the NioLeads extension’s page.

Either way, on the Web Store page that opens, you can then add the NioLeads Chrome extension by clicking Add to Chrome. A dialog box will appear where you can just click OK.

Once you’ve added the extension, it will appear in your taskbar.

If it doesn’t, you can click the puzzle symbol and then on the pin to add it to the taskbar.

Step 3: Connect Your NioLeads Account

When you’ve added the NioLeads extension to your Chrome browser, the next step is to connect your NioLeads account.

Simply click on the extension to login. If you’re already connected to the NioLeads website on another tab, it should auto-connect. If not, it should redirect you to the login page.

Once logged in, you should get the above screen: it means you’re ready to export leads!

Once you’ve created a NioLeads account and installed and logged into the NioLeads Chrome extension, you’re ready to start exporting leads from LinkedIn Sales Navigator.

However, before you continue, you should ensure that you have Email Finder credits available. NioLeads is free to use up to 10 emails for you to try it out, but you will likely need more data.

You can always get more credits by subscribing to one of NioLeads’s paid plans. You can see how many credits you have in the top-right corner of your NioLeads dashboard.

You’ll only pay for verified email addresses because NioLeads verifies and ensures every lead’s email address works and doesn’t result in a bounce. This is very important when doing email outreach, as sending to invalid emails impact your email deliverability and makes you land in spam, ruining all your lead generation efforts.

Head over to LinkedIn Sales Navigator.

On the home page, search for the leads you would like.

In this example, we’ll search for Chief Executive Officer. We’ll also filter the results to include only CEOs of companies in North America with less than 50 employees in the retail industry.

If we look at the results as they would usually appear, you’ll see a list of CEOs, from which you can then select the leads to save to your list. You can also check the Select all box to save all of them.

However, with NioLeads activated, you’ll notice that there’s now an Export to CSV button.

When you click on this button, a dialog box will open. Here, you can choose how many leads you’d like to extract (to a maximum of 2,500 - this is a LinkedIn limit).

You can also select the NioLeads list you want to add the LinkedIn leads to, to organize yourself.

Once you’ve selected your preferences, you can click on Export CSV. When the process is completed, you’ll be able to save your CSV file on your computer. You can then open it on Microsoft Excel, Google Sheets, or import it to your favorite sales platform.

This CSV can then be opened in your favorite editor (Excel, Google Sheets) for you to review the leads and/or imported directly to your sales tool.

All the leads that you export from LinkedIn Sales Navigator search results will also be saved automatically to your NioLeads contacts page so that you can find them later. Job done!
