Sales Navigator lead and account filter definitions

Last updated: 2 months ago

Search is a central part of the Sales Navigator experience. As part of LinkedIn's commitment to improving customer experience with Sales Navigator, Search has been reconfigured to reduce the time it takes to find successful results.

The Search page in Sales Navigator includes a two-paneled view that enables you to:

  • Refine your search by adding and removing filters.
  • View search results that get updated live when you add and remove filters.
  • Access more intuitive grouping of filters making it easier for you to select and refine your search criteria.
  • Pin and unpin filters in your search criteria. You can also revert to using the default pins in your search.

Use the following tabs to review descriptions of lead and account filters that are available in Sales Navigator.
