When each makes sense

  • Sales Navigator: your buyers are active on LinkedIn, you sell with social selling and InMail, and you can enrich a few hundred contacts a month elsewhere.
  • ZoomInfo: you need direct dials at scale, company-wide coverage and intent across many reps, and have the budget.
  • Both: ZoomInfo for contact data and Sales Navigator for relationships and alerts, if the budget covers both.

Using ZoomInfo with Sales Navigator

Sales Navigator is better at finding the right people (50+ filters on LinkedIn's own profiles); ZoomInfo is better at contact details. Many teams use both: build the list in Sales Navigator, then enrich it.

LinkedIn has no CSV export of Sales Navigator searches. Routes into a contact tool: LinkedIn's CRM sync (Advanced Plus only), the vendor's own extension (Lusha saves Sales Navigator tables in batches of 25, Cognism exports leads to your CRM), saving leads one by one, or exporting the search with a Sales Navigator scraper and uploading the CSV for enrichment. LinkedIn's User Agreement prohibits scraping, including through browser plugins, so that route carries account risk; see the safety guide.
