2. Utilize InMails

With InMails, you can write and send InMails straight from a Hubspot contact.

To do so, go to your contacts in your Hubspot account. Select the name of the contact you wish to send InMail to. On the right sidebar, select “LinkedIn Sales Navigator.” Then select “Send InMail.” The pop-up box will allow you to compose a message and send it. How easy is that?

3. Access and View LinkedIn Data with Ease

While logged into your Hubspot account, go to your contacts or companies. Select the name of the contact or company you wish to view.

In the right sidebar, find the “LinkedIn Sales Navigator” card that has LinkedIn information for the particular contact or company.

For contacts specifically, you will see the contact's title, business, time in current position, location, and company industry. For companies, you will see the company's specific industry, overall size, and location. You can check out a more detailed profile by selecting “View more.”

With this function, you can also see recommended leads, which allow you to connect with other leads at a company that you share professional interests with.
