    For example, if you look at cell 17 for Seacoast Bank it can't seem to find the Chief Executive Officer. But clearly he is here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/chuck-shaffer-0504276/

    Eric N. when using your Sales Nav do you find any issues with LinkedIn restricting your profile for using a scraper? How do you workaround to hit the volume you hit?

    by using the internal sales nav scraper in clay. It doesn't use your profile

    Hmm, I can't seem to find a 'Sales Nav' integration within Clay. I only have the standard LinkedIn integration which is the one I'm having issues with.

    yeah same i don't have a sales nav integration anywhere, just linkedin which can't seem to gather the private profiles

    ah okay got it nice- but we can't enrich an existing list with sales nav i'm guessing right? Like finding contacts from a list of linkedin company urls

    to be honest, I re-enriched for the company domain and then ran it through apollo, which picked up most of the people that the LinkedIn contact finder didn't because of private profiles, so that's a workaround too

    Correct Mohan, you can only use the Sales Nav search for creating a new Clay table after building that search on SalesNav. And yea having the Apollo connection does help with finding contacts as a workaround for the time being.

    Got you Eric N. - I'm using Apify to scape Indeed as the initial source of data. In this scenario, when it comes to finding contacts at the company what options do you use?

    I enrich for the domain and then use the find contacts or find people option in Clay

    I really don't spend any time getting hung up by missing profiles because they are private. My hypothesis is that if you put your LinkedIn profile on private, you have a lower chance of responding to email anyway. I literally don't think about this problem at all

    Love this Eric N. "I literally don't think about this problem at all" ๐Ÿ™Œ Success lies in choosing the right problems to be solved.
