That being said, there are still some techniques you can use to identify premium Linkedin accounts among your Linkedin Sales Navigator search results.

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 banner on the right.

This badge also appears next to the name in LinkedIn search results.

This technique has a drawback though as it is possible for Linkedin Premium members to hide their badge from their profile.

A few percentages of Linkedin premium users are aware of this option.

Even less choose to hide the badge on their profiles.

Nonetheless, you should be aware that you might miss some Premium profiles if you use this technique.


Browsing profiles manually is an efficient method if you are looking for a low number of profiles.

But if you want to do it at scale that will take a lot of time.

No worries.

Here is the solution to find Linkedin premium members at scale using Linkedin Sales Navigator and Evaboot.
