Depends. Are you paying for it or is your company paying for it? ๐Ÿค”

I would have to pay at least initially until I could show its usefulness I think. I work for a small company , which I love being at, but financial support lacks sometimes

Sales nav is great for searching for leads. Thankfully my company pays for it.

How often are you on Sales Nav weekly? What is your close rate on leads that turn into sales from LinkedIn?

Company pays for SalesNav and ZoomInfo. I use them to research companies and people, but there are a lot of companies out there whose employees are not using LI themselves, so it's a bit of a scramble at that point. ZoomInfo is also inaccurate, but can provide a good place to start.
I wouldn't pay for either if it was coming out of my own pocket.

Depends on your use case. LI gold is always handy if you are networking or job hunting
Sales nav is excellent for building up a pipeline

Sales Nav for Lead-gen is GODLY. Though, it's shit expensive. Let your employer pay for it. Usually, companies prefer to give it to Inside Sales reps in Outbound roles.

I don't see a whole lot of benefits in LinkedIn premium. Though you can experiment for a month with it. I know of a couple of people it helped in job hunting.

LinkedIn Recruiter is almost used by every single recruiter now. It's basically Lead gen for employee hunting.

Don't know a lot about LinkedIn Marketing solutions. But if it were any good, people would be getting less shittier MQLs, and I don't hear that happening a lot.

Sales nav, don't know what my life would be without it. I use the filters to find prospects and then use ZoomInfo/Appollo to find their contact information

I guess most of the companies are paying for the sales Nav, if that's your case you don't have to pay for it again!!

Linkedin Premium (carreer) and fuck sales nav.

That one is enough for any selling you'll ever do on your own.

Tell your company to go fuck themselves and get you an administrative assistant to mine Sales Nav if they can't get you a great list of prospects.
