Benefit of using Konnector Extension with Sales Navigator Account

Get the most out of your Sales Navigator free trial

One limitation of the free trial is its 30-day duration. However, you can leverage this period repeatedly with a strategic approach:

• Create Multiple Accounts: Once your initial free trial ends, create a new LinkedIn account and sign up for another free trial. Use Konnector.ai to extract and manage new sets of leads from each trial.
• Create one account per SDR intermittently: If you have a team of 10 SDRs, you can choose the free trial during different months. This way, one account can extract the leads and distribute it amongst the other 9 members.  You can then extend the free trial across 10 months, generating a large number of leads for your business.

Ultimately, it is highly beneficial that even after 10 Free trials and 750,000 free LinkedIn leads have been exhausted, you still save money with Konnector. You need only one Sales Navigator account per team at a time, saving you $150 per team member per month. For a team of 10 SDRs, this instantly saves $1500 per month.

Some things to remember:

While using multiple accounts and free trials can be effective, it’s essential to stay within LinkedIn’s terms of service to avoid any penalties or bans. Here are a few tips:

• Moderate Account Creation: Avoid creating too many accounts at once. LinkedIn monitors account activity and may flag suspicious behavior.
• Use Different Contact Information: Use different email addresses and phone numbers for each account to avoid detection. Preferably use legit information of real people with valid identity cards.
• Limit Daily Actions: Even with automation, limit the number of connection requests and messages sent daily to mimic natural behavior.
