Commercial Support Manager, CEB
Using LinkedIn Sales Navigator has helped me in so
many ways. Sales Navigator allows me to prospect
more quickly, find the correct contacts, stay up to date
on my accounts and prospects, and hit my quotas--and
earn a promotion. I doubt I would have been promoted if
I did not have Sales Navigator!
