Sales Navigator Import Issue: MBA Profiles Misplaced in First Name Field | Clay

Sales Navigator Import Issue: MBA Profiles Misplaced in First Name Field

·

·

When importing a list from Sales Navigator, profiles with "MBA" at the end of their name import with "Mba" in the first name field.

When importing profiles from Sales Navigator, Clay retrieves publicly available LinkedIn profile data, including names and profile links. The issue you're experiencing with 'MBA' being imported as part of the first name field is likely due to how the data is structured in the source.To address this, you can use Clay's data manipulation features to clean up the imported data. For example, you could create a formula column to remove 'Mba' from the first name field if it appears at the end.Can you provide more details about the specific Sales Navigator search you're using and how many profiles you're seeing this issue with? This information will help us better understand the scope of the problem and suggest more targeted solutions. Source: Data points: Sales Navigator | Clay.com

This happens with every import/every time "MBA" occurs at the end of the name.

For now, you can use this strategy to extract the first name while our team take actions on this :) https://downloads.intercomcdn.com/i/o/w28k1kwz/1278029715/a391121637a8599ef2b13f1b13a7/CleanShot+2024-12-05+at+_14l3kAamrm.gif?expires=1733418000&signature=c4747cc78215b654caa31f2e5815593c1f4d39df31afc8ad04099f896b3e712d&req=dSIgHsl8lIZeXPMW1HO4ze%2BvAIwZ1EzsyKcB2UKQMgqQJY3%2By4RjdIla00vo%0AwA6P%0A

Thanks. I figured "MBA" was such a common addition in LinkedIn name fields it would affect a lot of people.

Yes that's great thinking. Thanks for flagging this - it's the first time we've heard about the MBA issue with Sales Navigator imports. I really appreciate you bringing it to our attention
