On the 3rd of May, LinkedIn held a Breakfast event that discussed how sales teams can generate more opportunities with Sales Navigator.
Guests heard from Mark Dick, Director of Sales Solutions, who introduced the event and discussed how sales teams are more engaged, more connected and more successful with their buyers through Sales Navigator.
To see the tool in action, a leading LinkedIn sales rep proceeded to run a live demonstration and showcase how to leverage the network of 414M+ professionals to reach prospects and engage through insights.
Finally, Mark ran a fireside chat with a current customer who has been able to leverage the LinkedIn platform to create significant sales success.
