Whether you’re looking for potential clients, partners, or candidates or want to expand your professional network with serious and committed professionals, you’re in the right place.
In this article, I’ll show you how to find LinkedIn Premium Sales Navigator, and LinkedIn Recruiter users here.
There isn’t any Premium profile filter on LinkedIn search.
However, some techniques exist for identifying LinkedIn premium account types among your LinkedIn Sales Navigator search results.
In this article, we’ll cover:
- What is LinkedIn Premium?
- How to tell if someone has LinkedIn Premium?
- How to Search LinkedIn Premium Members?
Let’s get into it.
What Is LinkedIn Premium?
LinkedIn Premium is an improved version of LinkedIn that requires a subscription fee.
With a LinkedIn Premium Account, users can:
- see who viewed your profile,
- get in direct communication with hiring managers,
- send InMails without a direct connection,
- access tools, resources, and courses to help with job searches or business networking,
- use advanced search filters, etc.
Hiring managers may perceive LinkedIn users with Premium accounts as more engaged and professional in their job search.
The cost of LinkedIn premium membership depends on the plan you pick.
Here’s the full list:
- LinkedIn Premium Career: $39.99 /month
- LinkedIn Premium Business: $59.99 /month
- LinkedIn Sales Navigator: $99.99 /month
- LinkedIn Sales Navigator Advanced: $149.99 /month
- LinkedIn Sales Navigator Enterprise: custom pricing
- LinkedIn Recruiter Lite: $180 /month
- LinkedIn Recruiter: $835 /month
- LinkedIn Learning: $29.99 / month
How To Tell if Someone Has LinkedIn Premium?
To identify if someone has LinkedIn Premium, look for a distinctive gold LinkedIn Premium badge on their profile.
It is located below the profile page banner on the right.
This badge also appears next to the name in LinkedIn search results.
However, this technique has a drawback as LinkedIn Premium members can hide their badges from their profiles.
A few percent of LinkedIn premium users are aware of this option.
Even fewer choose to hide the badge on their profiles.
Nonetheless, you should know that you might miss a lot of Premium profiles if you use this technique.
Browsing profiles manually is efficient if you are looking for fewer profiles.
But if you want to do it at scale, that will take a lot of time.
No worries.
In our case, it’s worth using LinkedIn Sales Navigator and Evaboot to search LinkedIn premium members at scale.
How To Search LinkedIn Premium Members?
LinkedIn Sales Navigator is a great lead-generation tool used by many sales professionals.
Here are 3 steps to find LinkedIn Premium account holders on LinkedIn Sales Navigator:
- Search on LinkedIn Sales Navigator
- Export your search into CSV with Evaboot
- Look into the column “Prospect is Premium”
1. Search on LinkedIn Sales Navigator
This technique won’t allow filtering Premium Profiles on your search but will help you detect if there are Premium Profiles among your search results.
The first step is to search on Sales Navigator using filters like:
- current job title,
- company,
- years of experience,
- etc.
2. Export your search into CSV with Evaboot
The badge is not the only way to detect if someone on LinkedIn uses a premium subscription.
That information is also hidden on the LinkedIn profile code.
You can extract it from the page. However, not every LinkedIn scraper gets this information.
Well, the Evaboot Chrome extension does.
To export your search into a CSV, install the Evaboot extension and click the “Extract with Evaboot” button at the top of the Sales Navigator search page.
Wait for the scraper to get the information, and then you can identify Premium profiles.
This technique is good because it will capture 100% of premium LinkedIn Accounts, even those who choose to hide the badge in private mode.
3. Look into the column “Prospect is Premium”
Once the extraction of the leads is finished, you can click on the download icon to get the CSV file.
- If you see TRUE, the prospect is Premium
- If you see FALSE, the prospect isn’t Premium
If you use Sheets or Excel, you can use filters to get all the premium profiles in your list in a few clicks.
- Select your headers
- Click on the filter icon in the menu tab
- Click on the filter icon in the header
- Select TRUE only
Boom!
Now, you have a list of Premium profiles waiting to be contacted.
That’s it.
You have created a list of LinkedIn premium members in just a few clicks.
You can now use this file for prospecting on LinkedIn.
Conclusion
In conclusion, identifying LinkedIn premium members is easier than you might think.
Tools like LinkedIn Sales Navigator and Evaboot can help you find premium account holders efficiently.
This way, you can easily connect with them, expand your professional network, and create a more credible and professional image.
