Sales Navigator Tips That Actually Book Meetings

Most People Are Using Sales Navigator Wrong

I've watched hundreds of agency owners and SDRs drop $100+ a month on Sales Navigator and still complain that LinkedIn doesn't work. They open the tool, type a job title into the search bar, scroll through the results, and maybe connect with a few people. That's not prospecting. That's window shopping.

Sales Navigator is one of the most powerful B2B prospecting tools available - but only if you treat it like the precision targeting system it actually is. The tool has 50+ filters, AI-powered lead intelligence, real-time buyer signals, and a search engine that can surface your exact ICP out of over a billion profiles. Used properly, it becomes a genuine pipeline engine. Used lazily, it's an expensive version of LinkedIn's free search.

This guide covers the tips that separate the reps booking 30+ meetings a month from the ones wondering why nobody's replying to their connection requests. I'm writing this from experience - not theory. I've used this tool personally to help generate hundreds of thousands of sales meetings across my companies and with the agency owners and SDRs I coach.

First: Understand the Three Sales Navigator Plans

Before you go deep on tactics, you need to know which features you actually have access to - because a lot of advice online assumes you're on the highest tier when you might be on Core.

Here's the practical breakdown: Core is built for individual sellers and covers advanced search filters, saved searches, InMail credits, and lead and account lists. Advanced adds team features like TeamLink, Account IQ, Lead IQ, and Buyer Intent signals. Advanced Plus layers in deep CRM integrations with Salesforce and Microsoft Dynamics, embedded experiences, and enterprise-grade data validation.

Most individual sellers and small teams will find Core or Advanced sufficient. The tips in this article apply across all three plans, and I'll call out when a specific tactic requires a higher tier. Don't assume you need Advanced Plus on day one - get the system working on Core first, then upgrade when the limitations actually start costing you deals.

Tip 1: Stop Searching by Job Title Alone

The single biggest mistake I see is relying on job title as the only filter. The problem is that people write their titles 15 different ways. "Head of Marketing" and "VP of Marketing" and "Director of Growth" are all the same buyer. If you only search one variation, you're missing most of your market.

The fix is Boolean search. In Sales Navigator, you can use Boolean logic in the title, keyword, and company fields. The five operators you need are AND, OR, NOT, quotation marks, and parentheses - and all operators must be typed in uppercase for them to work properly. A real-world example for targeting marketing decision-makers looks like this:

("VP Marketing" OR "Head of Marketing" OR "Marketing Director" OR "Growth Lead") NOT "Assistant" NOT "Intern"

That one string surfaces everyone who matches your ICP while automatically cleaning out the noise. The quotation marks are critical - without them, Sales Navigator treats each word separately, which destroys your precision. Always wrap exact phrases in quotes.

One important technical note: Sales Navigator does not support wildcards. You cannot type "market*" to catch "marketing" and "marketer" at the same time. You have to spell out each variation with OR. More typing upfront, yes - but it beats missing half your buyers. Also worth knowing: Sales Navigator limits visible results to 2,500 per search. If your Boolean query returns more than that, you need to layer on additional standard filters - seniority, company size, geography - until you're under the threshold.

Build your Boolean strings in a notepad first, then paste them into the Sales Navigator search field. The search fields are small and it's easy to make errors when constructing complex strings directly in the interface. Test the string, check the quality of the results, and adjust until you're seeing the right profiles.

Tip 2: Layer Filters Like a Stack, Not a Single Setting

Boolean gets you precision on titles and keywords. Structured filters handle everything else. The power move is stacking both together - run your Boolean string in the title or keyword field, then add structured filters on top for seniority level, company headcount, geography, and industry. Each layer cuts the list down to people who actually match your ICP.

The filter combinations that matter most for decision-maker targeting:

• Job Title + Seniority + Function - this trio identifies actual decision-makers, not individual contributors who can't sign a contract
• Company Headcount + Industry - keeps you inside your target market instead of wasting cycles on companies that are too big or too small
• Years in Current Role - newer leaders (under 18 months in seat) are often actively evaluating new tools and vendors
• Geography - essential if your offer requires in-person presence or if you work specific territories
• Past Company - a powerful and underused filter. If you're targeting people who previously worked at a competitor, use it to find leaders who already understand the problem you solve and may be open to evaluating alternatives

The two extremes to avoid: going too broad and going too narrow. If your search returns 100,000+ results, that's not a list - that's just LinkedIn with extra steps. If you end up with 12 results, you've over-filtered. Aim for a list size between a few hundred and 2,500. Smaller, cleaner lists outperform massive bloated ones every single time, but you also need enough volume to run a real sequence.

Don't try to do this in one massive search. Build two or three focused searches with tighter criteria. Keep them named in a way that makes sense six months from now - because if you're running this system right, you'll be coming back to these searches weekly.

Tip 3: Use Intent and Spotlight Filters to Prioritize Warm Leads

This is where Sales Navigator pulls ahead of every basic lead list. Beyond demographics, it gives you behavioral signals - and those signals tell you who's actually in-market right now versus who's just theoretically a fit.

The intent and spotlight filters worth building into your workflow:

• Changed Jobs in Last 90 Days - new leaders are actively evaluating everything. They haven't locked in vendor relationships yet. Use this filter combined with Director+ seniority and your ICP criteria, save it as a separate "job changers" list, and give that segment your best sequence first.
• Posted on LinkedIn in the Last 30 Days - if someone is active on the platform, they're actually going to see your message. Inactive accounts are dead weight in your pipeline.
• Companies Mentioned in the News - recent news events are built-in conversation starters. Funding rounds, acquisitions, expansions, leadership changes - these all create genuine hooks for outreach.
• Who Viewed Your Company Page (Last 90 Days) - available on Advanced and Advanced Plus plans. These people already know you exist. Layer this with your ICP filters so you're only seeing visitors who also match your target profile.
• Following Your Company - prospects following your company page are significantly more likely to respond than cold contacts with no prior exposure. One analysis found that prospects who follow your company page are roughly 2x more likely to respond to outreach.

The goal is to find people where timing and fit overlap. Demographics tell you who could be a customer. Intent signals tell you who might be ready to talk now. Build two lists: a broad ICP list and a warm intent list. Work the warm list first.

Tip 4: Use Sales Navigator's Buyer Intent Features (Advanced and Above)

If you're on Advanced or Advanced Plus, you have access to one of the most underused capabilities in the entire platform: Buyer Intent signals. Sales Navigator's Buyer Intent data pulls from 180+ distinct insight signals aggregated into a Buyer Intent Score. These signals include LinkedIn activity like comments, reactions, profile views, and company page engagement - tied to actual individuals, not just IP addresses.

The practical implication is significant. Instead of guessing which accounts might be in-market, you can see accounts that are actively researching solutions like yours and prioritize outreach accordingly. Sales Navigator also has Product Category Intent, which identifies prospects researching a product category as a whole - useful if you want to catch buyers who aren't specifically looking at your company yet but are clearly in research mode.

How to use this in practice: Pull up Account Hub and filter by Buyer Intent score. Start with the highest-intent accounts that also match your ICP. Then drill into those accounts and find the specific contacts to reach out to. Your messaging to a high-intent account should be different from your standard cold outreach - you can reference that you know they're evaluating solutions in this space and get right to the value.

Account IQ, available on Advanced and Advanced Plus, layers on top of this. It's an AI-powered feature that delivers instant account intelligence - financial overviews, strategic priorities, department-level headcount trends, and key people - all synthesized from LinkedIn data and public web sources. Before any important outreach or call, run Account IQ on the target account and use the output to personalize your message. This takes minutes and makes your outreach look like you've done hours of research.

Tip 5: Save Your Searches - Then Actually Use the Alerts

Most people build a search once, export a list, and call it done. That's leaving a huge ongoing asset on the table. When you save a search in Sales Navigator, the platform monitors it continuously and alerts you when new profiles match your criteria. One well-built search becomes a perpetual lead feed.

Here's the workflow: Run your full filter stack - title Boolean, industry, headcount, geography, intent signals. Once the results look right, hit Save Search, name it something you'll recognize six months from now, and set your alert frequency. Sales Nav emails you new matching leads on that cadence. You review the fresh additions, move the qualified ones into your active outreach list, and keep moving.

You can also share saved Account Search configurations with teammates on Advanced and Advanced Plus plans - useful if you're running a coordinated team prospecting effort and need everyone pulling from the same account universe.

This is how good reps stay in front of new-to-market prospects without spending hours re-building searches every week. Set it once, maintain it, let the platform do the monitoring.

Tip 6: Use Shared Experiences as Natural Icebreakers

The hardest part of cold outreach on LinkedIn isn't finding people - it's writing something that doesn't read like a cold pitch. The Shared Experiences filter solves part of that problem. It surfaces leads who went to the same school, worked at the same companies, or belong to the same LinkedIn Groups as you. Those overlapping touchpoints give you a genuine, specific hook that isn't manufactured.

"I noticed we both worked at [company]" hits completely differently than a generic "I came across your profile and thought you'd be a great fit." The contact info is the same. The conversion rate is not.

LinkedIn Groups are particularly underused for this purpose. LinkedIn data suggests you're significantly more likely to get appointments with decision-makers when you're a member of shared LinkedIn Groups. Join the groups your ICP hangs out in, then use the Groups filter in Sales Navigator to surface leads who are also in those communities. Your outreach can reference the shared group, which immediately adds a layer of social proof and relevance.

Tip 7: Account-Level Filtering Is Underused

Most reps live in Lead Search and ignore Account Search. That's backwards if you're doing ABM or targeting specific verticals. Account-level filters let you identify companies that match your ICP at the organizational level first, then drill into contacts. Useful account-level signals include:

• Headcount Growth Rate - fast-growing companies have budget and needs. A company that's grown 20%+ in headcount over the last year is usually in expansion mode.
• Hiring Trends - companies actively hiring for specific roles tell you a lot about their current priorities. If they're hiring a VP of Sales, they care about pipeline. If they're hiring a Head of Data, they care about analytics infrastructure.
• Funding Events - recently funded companies have fresh capital and a mandate to spend it on growth infrastructure. This is one of the cleanest buying triggers in B2B sales.
• Technologies Used - filter by tech stack to find companies using tools that complement or compete with yours.

Build your account list first, save it, then use Lead Search filtered to those saved accounts. You get the right people inside the right companies instead of randomly hitting individual contacts at organizations that don't actually match.

The Account Hub in Sales Navigator also lets you monitor your saved accounts for changes - new hires, leadership changes, news mentions - all in one dashboard. If you're running account-based selling, this is your daily morning read. Check it before you open email.

Tip 8: Get Their Email and Phone Number Before You Message

InMail has its place, but the response rates on cold email and direct dial outreach still beat LinkedIn connection requests for most B2B offers - especially for mid-market and enterprise targets who are buried in connection requests. The smarter play is to use Sales Navigator to identify exactly who to contact, then find their email and phone number through dedicated tools.

For email lookup, Findymail does a solid job of finding verified emails for the prospects you surface in Sales Navigator. If you want a B2B lead database that lets you filter by title, seniority, industry, and company size without needing to start from Sales Navigator at all, ScraperCity's B2B lead database gives you unlimited B2B leads with contact info built in - useful for running a parallel prospecting track that doesn't require a Sales Navigator seat for every search.

For finding emails for specific individuals you've already identified through Sales Navigator, the ScraperCity email finder is worth having in your toolkit. And once you have a list, run it through an email validator before loading it into your sequencer - bounce rates above 3-4% will damage your sender reputation fast. ScraperCity has an email validator for this, or you can use tools like NeverBounce.

For cold calling, ScraperCity also has a mobile finder that surfaces direct dial numbers - useful when you want to run a true multichannel sequence where you're hitting email, phone, and LinkedIn simultaneously.

The point is: Sales Navigator tells you who. Other tools get you their actual contact information. Use them together.

Tip 9: Sync Sales Navigator to Your CRM

This one is massively underused by solo operators and small teams. If you're running outbound at any kind of volume, having Sales Navigator sync with your CRM is the difference between a managed pipeline and a collection of disconnected spreadsheets.

Sales Navigator integrates directly with popular CRM tools such as Salesforce, HubSpot, and Microsoft Dynamics 365, ensuring a smooth exchange of data between systems. When you save a lead in Sales Navigator, their profile, company details, and engagement history are automatically synced with your CRM - no manual data entry required. The integration also logs InMails, messages, and notes back to your CRM records automatically via Activity Writeback.

The practical benefit: you never lose context on a prospect. Your team can see every touchpoint - every InMail sent, every connection accepted, every note left - without hunting across platforms. If a prospect changes jobs, Sales Navigator catches it and the record updates. CRM data decays fast when prospects change roles, companies merge, and contact info goes stale. The sync keeps your data current without anyone having to manually chase it down.

Full CRM sync with writeback capabilities requires Advanced Plus. But even on lower tiers, you can use the embedded profile view inside Salesforce or HubSpot to see LinkedIn context on a prospect without leaving your CRM. For smaller teams, Close CRM is worth looking at for outbound-heavy workflows - it's built specifically for active calling and sequencing.

Tip 10: Don't Ignore Your Existing Network

TeamLink, available on Advanced and Advanced Plus, shows you second-degree connections you can reach through teammates. This matters more than people realize. A warm introduction from a colleague dramatically outperforms a cold connection request. If your company has multiple Sales Navigator seats, pull up a target account and look at who on your team is already connected. That's a call, not an InMail.

Here's how to run the process properly: When TeamLink shows you a shared connection to a target prospect, reach out to your colleague first with something like: "Hey [Name], I noticed you're connected with [Prospect] at [Company]. Would you be comfortable making a quick intro?" When your colleague agrees, give them a two-sentence template they can use or adapt. Follow up with your own personalized outreach once the introduction is made. Your colleague's credibility transfers to you - that's the entire value of the warm intro.

Even without TeamLink, second-degree connections in your own network are warmer than third-degree strangers. Sort your search results by connection degree and work them in order. There's no rule that says you have to prospect cold when you have warm paths available.

Tip 11: Build a Messaging System Around Your List Segments

Different list segments need different messages. Your "job changers in last 90 days" list gets a message about fresh starts and new initiatives. Your "posted on LinkedIn recently" list gets a message that references something specific they actually wrote. Your "company in the news" list gets a message tied to the trigger event. Your "high buyer intent" accounts get a message that acknowledges they're likely evaluating solutions and cuts straight to the differentiation.

If you're running one generic sequence for your entire Sales Navigator export, you're treating a precision tool like a spray-and-pray database. The filters are only half the system. The messaging has to match the segment.

Here's a rough framework for matching message type to segment:

• Job Changers: Reference the transition. New leaders are often looking to make an early impact. Lead with what you help new leaders accomplish in their first 90 days.
• Active LinkedIn Posters: Reference something they actually said. Quote a specific point from a post, agree or add to it, then make your ask. This works because it proves you actually looked.
• News-Triggered Accounts: Reference the specific trigger - the funding round, the acquisition, the expansion. Connect it to a problem that trigger typically creates. "Congrats on the Series B - a lot of companies at this stage start hitting [specific problem]. That's exactly what we help with."
• Shared Experience: Lead with the connection. Keep it short. "We both worked at [Company]" is enough of a hook to get a reply if your ask is specific and reasonable.
• High Intent Accounts: Skip the long warm-up. They're already in research mode. Get to the point fast.

For the actual outreach sequence structure - connection request copy, follow-up timing, when to switch channels - my LinkedIn Playbook covers exactly how I build these by segment.

Tip 12: Use Smart Links to Track Prospect Engagement

Smart Links is an Advanced and Advanced Plus feature that lets you package content - decks, case studies, PDFs, links - into a single trackable URL you can share in LinkedIn messages or email. When a prospect clicks the Smart Link and views the content, you get notified.

This is significant for one reason: it turns passive content sharing into an active buying signal. If you send a prospect a Smart Link to your case study and they spend eight minutes on it, that's a different follow-up conversation than if they never opened it. You're not guessing at interest anymore - you're responding to demonstrated behavior.

The tactical play: build a Smart Link with your best proof - a relevant case study, a short deck, a quick video - and include it in your follow-up messages, not your first touch. Use first-touch to establish relevance and make the ask. Use Smart Links in follow-ups to provide value while collecting intent data that tells you who to prioritize.

Tip 13: Use Lead IQ and Account IQ to Personalize at Scale

Lead IQ is an AI-driven feature on Advanced and Advanced Plus that surfaces meaningful insights into a specific lead's interests, experience, and professional context - helping you personalize outreach without spending 20 minutes researching every profile manually.

Account IQ does the same at the company level. It synthesizes profile data, company activities, and public web information into concise account summaries - financial overview, strategic priorities, what the organization is focused on, where they're growing. The AI does the research; you do the outreach.

How I'd use this in a real workflow: Before sequencing a batch of high-priority accounts, run Account IQ on each one. Pull the one or two most relevant details - maybe they just expanded into a new market, or they're hiring aggressively in a department that's relevant to your offer. Drop that detail into the first line of your cold email or LinkedIn message. It doesn't need to be long. "I noticed [Company] just opened a new office in [City] - that's usually when [specific problem] starts showing up" is enough to stop a prospect from hitting delete.

The combination of Account IQ for research and Lead IQ for individual context is what makes the Advanced plan worth the jump from Core for teams that are doing personalized outbound at scale.

Tip 14: Run Competitor-Based Searches to Find Disgruntled Buyers

Here's a tactic most people completely skip: use Sales Navigator to find people who currently work at or recently left companies that use your competitor's product. This is a form of competitive displacement prospecting, and the warm-up angle writes itself.

Use the Current Company or Past Company filter combined with your Boolean title string to find people who have worked inside companies that use competing tools. These people already understand the category. They know the problem. They've lived with the competitor's limitations. Your pitch doesn't need to educate them on why the problem matters - it just needs to make the case for why you're the better solution.

The Past Company version of this is particularly useful for finding people who have recently moved from a competitor's customer to a new company - where vendor decisions haven't been locked in yet. They're familiar with the space, they're at a new company with fresh budget authority, and they haven't committed to anyone yet. That's a near-ideal prospecting scenario.

Tip 15: Clean Your Exclusions as You Go

One of the habits that separates serious Sales Navigator users from casual ones is maintaining their exclusion lists. As you prospect over time, you accumulate companies you've already contacted, clients you've already won, partners you don't want to pitch, and prospects who've explicitly opted out. If you're not actively excluding these from your searches, you're repeatedly surfacing the same unusable contacts.

Sales Navigator lets you add companies to a blocklist and exclude them from future searches. Build this habit early. Every time you close a deal, add that company to your exclusion list so your reps stop wasting InMail credits on existing customers. Every time a prospect says "we already use a competitor under contract for 18 months," add that company to a do-not-contact segment in your saved search exclusions.

A clean list is faster to work than a bloated one. Every contact that doesn't belong on your list is a rep-hour wasted. Keep the exclusions current.

Tip 16: Get Their Email and Phone - Then Build a True Multichannel Sequence

Sales Navigator is an identification and research layer, not a complete outbound system. The reps who get the best results use it to find and qualify prospects, then hit those prospects across multiple channels: LinkedIn message or connection request, cold email, and direct dial phone call.

The sequence structure I'd recommend for high-priority prospects from Sales Navigator:

• Day 1: Send a personalized connection request on LinkedIn (reference something specific - their post, shared connection, news event).
• Day 3: If connected, send a short LinkedIn message. If not connected, send a cold email. Keep both under 75 words.
• Day 5: Cold call the direct dial. Reference the LinkedIn outreach so it doesn't feel disconnected. "Hey, I sent you a note on LinkedIn a few days ago about [specific thing] - wanted to follow up directly."
• Day 8: Follow-up email with something useful - a relevant case study, a short insight, a Smart Link.
• Day 12: Final LinkedIn message or email. Keep it short. Give them an easy out or an easy yes.

To pull this off, you need email addresses and direct dials for the people Sales Navigator surfaces. For email, Findymail integrates well with LinkedIn workflows. For finding direct mobile numbers so you can actually make those calls, a tool like ScraperCity's mobile finder gives you the direct dials you need to run a true three-channel sequence. Once you have their email, run it through a validator - clean lists protect your sender domain and improve deliverability across the board.

For sequencing the email side of this, Smartlead or Instantly handle cold email at scale with inbox rotation and deliverability tools built in.

Tip 17: Run This as a Weekly System, Not a One-Time List Pull

The best Sales Navigator users I know treat it as an ongoing operational system, not a one-time database pull. Their week looks like this: review saved search alerts on Monday, qualify and add new leads to the active list, sequence new contacts, follow up with last week's list, check Account Hub for buying signals on saved accounts, and review Smart Link engagement to prioritize callbacks. That's a repeatable machine.

Most people do a big pull, reach out to everyone, get no response, and blame the tool. The tool is fine. The process is broken.

Here's the full weekly rhythm that actually produces results:

• Monday: Review saved search alerts. Move new matching leads into your active sequence queue. Check Account Hub for high-intent accounts.
• Tuesday/Wednesday: Work your warm list first - job changers, high-intent accounts, Smart Link engagers, people who've viewed your company page. These are your highest-probability conversations.
• Thursday: Work the broader ICP list. Connection requests, first-touch emails, cold calls.
• Friday: Review what's working. Which segments are responding? Which message angles are getting replies? Adjust next week's approach based on actual data, not gut feel.

This is a system, not a sprint. The reps who build meetings consistently aren't working harder than everyone else - they're running a tighter process more consistently.

If you want to build this kind of outbound system properly - not just Sales Navigator but the full sequence, the ICP targeting, the messaging, and the handoff to close - that's exactly what I work through inside Galadon Gold.

Frequently Asked Questions About Sales Navigator

Is Sales Navigator worth the cost?

For B2B sellers who rely on LinkedIn as a primary prospecting channel, yes - if you're actually using the advanced features. The advanced filters, intent signals, and saved search alerts alone significantly cut manual prospecting time. The ROI depends almost entirely on how systematically you use it. If you're logging in once a week, doing a title search, and sending 10 connection requests, you're not going to see the return. If you're running saved searches, working buyer intent signals, and using it as part of a multichannel outbound system, the math works.

What's the difference between Sales Navigator Core and Advanced?

Core covers the fundamentals: advanced search filters, saved searches, InMail credits, and lead and account lists. Advanced adds TeamLink, Account IQ, Lead IQ, Buyer Intent signals, and Smart Links. Advanced Plus adds deep CRM sync with Salesforce and Microsoft Dynamics, activity writeback, and enterprise data validation. For most individual reps and small teams, Core or Advanced is the right starting point.

Can I export leads from Sales Navigator?

Sales Navigator doesn't have a native CSV export for lead lists. Most people export via CRM sync (which requires Advanced Plus for full writeback functionality) or use third-party tools to extract the data. Once leads are in your CRM, you can use the CRM's built-in export to get them into a spreadsheet. If you need a standalone B2B lead database with export capabilities and no Sales Navigator dependency, this B2B email database gives you unlimited leads with filtering by title, seniority, industry, company size, and location - and the data is exportable directly.

How do I find someone's email from Sales Navigator?

Sales Navigator shows you the prospect. It doesn't give you their personal or work email address. For that you need a dedicated email finder. Findymail integrates well with LinkedIn workflows and returns verified email addresses. ScraperCity's email finder tool is another solid option for looking up emails on specific prospects you've identified. Always validate before sending - a high bounce rate will tank your sender domain.

What is a good Boolean search string for Sales Navigator?

It depends on your ICP. The structure that works for most B2B sales targets looks like this: (Title Variation 1 OR "Title Variation 2" OR "Title Variation 3") NOT "Irrelevant Role" NOT "Too Junior Title" - then layer on company size, industry, and geography filters on top. Build the string in a text editor first, test it in Sales Navigator, and refine until the results match your actual ideal customer profile. Don't optimize for volume. Optimize for quality.

Should I use InMail or connection requests?

Both have their place. InMail lets you message someone you're not connected to and is useful for reaching high-priority targets where a connection request might not get accepted quickly. Connection requests are free and work well when you have a personalized note referencing something specific. For most B2B outreach, I'd use the connection request with a specific note first, then follow up with InMail if there's no movement. But honestly, the highest-response outreach I've seen comes from getting the email and direct dial - not staying entirely inside LinkedIn. Use Sales Navigator to identify, then go multichannel.

The Bottom Line on Sales Navigator

Sales Navigator is worth every dollar if you actually use the advanced features. Boolean search, intent filters, saved searches, account-level targeting, AI-powered insights like Account IQ and Lead IQ, and proper list segmentation turn it into a legitimate pipeline engine. Used lazily, it's an expensive version of LinkedIn's free search.

Start with one tight Boolean search, layer your ICP filters, save it, and set the alerts. Get the emails and phone numbers of the people it surfaces. Write messages that match the segment. Sync it to your CRM so nothing falls through the cracks. Run it as a weekly process, not a monthly list pull. That's the system.

The reps who complain that Sales Navigator doesn't work are almost always doing one of three things: searching too broad, messaging without segmentation, or running it as a one-time database pull instead of an ongoing prospecting engine. Fix those three things and the tool becomes very different.
