That does not answer the question
I apologize for the confusion. Could you please rephrase your question, or would you like to speak with our team?
Hey, thanks for reaching out, Matthew - yes, you can, but it needs to be searched without anything that your account only has access to. For example, no saved searches, connection types, etc.
what do you mean?
You can copy a Linkedin Sales Nav search within clay in the Find People > External list It'll extract up to 2500 people. As long as that lists isn't tied in any ways to your account (only people search, without filters that are tied to your account) https://downloads.intercomcdn.com/i/o/w28k1kwz/1301973804/0bfb4105c6c4b9c1e7421653cda6/CleanShot+2024-12-17+at+_41gNcmdLPx%402x.png?expires=1734471900&signature=33662c67761202e6e0285c1e5c66ed90a0a9b627206b44d9ffbd8ecb538c99e4&req=dSMnF8B5nolfXfMW1HO4zR7SBnmtDdA%2FCkuC5tcrKxF7qs%2FlZm7RFCz6r5LI%0AnAi2%0A
Yes but I'm asking if it's possible with a Sales Nav Company search, not a people search
I see, thanks for the precision. It is only possible with people, not companies unfortunately! What was your goal here? Typically with companies, we're pretty spot on!
Just curious if it was possible. Much cheaper to scrape LinkedIn directly FWIW
Right! But more risks too since you're using your own accounts !
Yeah but really not that risky -- at least in my experience
I get it tho
One other question -- is there a limit to the # of companies you can exclude from a clay companies search?
and confirming running a find companies search is 1 cred per result
also is it fair to assume Clay's company DB is effectively the same as LinkedIn?
Let me break this down for you: 1. Company exclusions: You can exclude up to 50k companies from your search 2. Credits: Yes, each company result from a Find Companies search costs 1 credit 3. Company database: It's very similar to LinkedIn's database! The company data tends to be more consistent since company profiles are more standardized than individual profiles
Re: 2. Can you confirm? Your CS bot said you don't get charged and it doesn't look like it's costing me credits in the platform.
"No, you don't get charged credits for running company searches or prospecting. You can prospect accounts and companies for free. However, if you're using specific integrations like Ocean.io to find lookalike companies, you will be charged 1 credit per result returned."
3. Got it. Are there companies in your DB that are not on LinkedIn? My gut is yes given there are 2x # of clay companies when looking at same search side by side with Sales Nav
2 - Yes - I don't see the CS bot part where they mention this? Can you show me where exactly? It seems to be replying to a question about finding companies. Finding companies is free. Finding people with a sales navigator search is what cost 1 credits. Sorry for the confusion here. 3. Yes there is and you can also find companies from Google and other sources so even more https://downloads.intercomcdn.com/i/o/w28k1kwz/1302007732/93f7df06b20c6e66912b4234caf8/CleanShot+2024-12-17+at+_00ajV8EMDC.gif?expires=1734474600&signature=0b6119018a3ed3871331cc4a89e04bdcc25702cf8582d8d88fbe39b7cb7c0ffb&req=dSMnFMl%2BmoZcW%2FMW1HO4zfeNenxpKpYEgwBldiXOyq1DxwKHo6QcK8AjlnWG%0Au9V4%0A
