Before you even think about sending that LinkedIn DM, hold up.

First, figure out who’s actually worth talking to.

Because here’s the thing: list building isn’t just a step of LinkedIn Outreach.

It’s the difference between getting ghosted and getting real replies.

A good list = Good acceptance rates = Good response rates.

Because you’re reaching people who might actually give a damn.

For our clients, we’ve tested a bunch of ways to do this.

Some are obvious, some will make you rethink where your audience actually hangs out.

And no,

It’s not just LinkedIn + Sales Nav.

LinkedIn and Sales Nav is ofc a great source but that’s not the only one :) Here are some other great options you can try:

• Method 1 - Job Postings </aside>

<aside>

• Method 2 - Google Maps </aside>

<aside>

• Method 3 - Podcast Guests </aside>

<aside>

• Method 4 - Post Commenters </aside>

But.. If you’re using Sales Nav

Remember this;

Most people use the same 3–4 Sales Navigator filters: job title, industry, location, company size.
