Can I add prospects from LinkedIn? Do I need to upgrade my LinkedIn account?

Yes, you can add prospects directly inside of LinkedIn!
You do not need to have a premium LinkedIn account in order to prospect directly inside of LinkedIn. However, having a premium LinkedIn Sales Navigator account does allow you to filter by employee size. In addition to filtering by company size, you can also search specifically by LinkedIn group: When it comes to LinkedIn groups though, you can also get creative inside of the LeadFuze app and use the Group name as the keyword. For example, if you wanted to find members in the eMarketing Association Network LinkedIn Group, you can use a search like the example below:This brings up Google search results like this:The advantage of doing it this way is that you can add up to 100 prospects at a time, versus inside of LinkedIn where you can only add 10 at a time.
Lastly, if you have a LinkedIn Sales Navigator account, you can use LeadFuze there as well: One thing to remember is you can only add so many prospects per day inside of LinkedIn directly due to profile view limitations. We don't recommend adding more than 300 prospects per day when prospecting inside of LinkedIn.
