If you rely on LinkedIn Sales Navigator for lead generation, one question inevitably comes up:
How do I export leads from LinkedIn Sales Navigator?
The truth is: LinkedIn Sales Navigator does not offer a native lead export option.
That means users must rely on third-party tools or manual methods to move their lead lists into usable formats like CSV or Excel.
This detailed guide explains exactly how to export leads from LinkedIn Sales Navigator step by step—along with common challenges, compliance notes, and best practices.
To efficiently export leads from LinkedIn Sales Navigator, use LeadCRM.io’s Chrome extension for a seamless, one-click export experience.
After creating a LeadCRM account and installing the extension, a button will appear on your LinkedIn account. Through this, you can access the dashboard and continue with the export process.
Integrate it with your CRM (like Pipedrive, Salesforce, or HubSpot). Then, select your lead lists directly within Sales Navigator and export them with enriched, verified contact details such as emails and phone numbers.
The tool ensures GDPR compliance and automatically pushes the data into your CRM, saving you from manual work and enhancing your lead management workflow.

Besides browser extensions, there are web platforms where you upload your Sales Navigator lists and receive downloadable files.

If you prefer not to use third-party solutions, manual copy-paste is your fallback option.
Why it’s not recommended:

Third-party tools offer the most efficient way to export LinkedIn Sales Navigator leads to Excel or CSV files.
Using LeadCRM.io’s Export Tool:
Our LinkedIn lead export tool provides a seamless experience with these benefits:
Start by heading to the LeadCRM website and starting an account to “Sign Up” to create your account.
Once registered, it offers you to download “Get Chrome Extension.” This helps you to install the LeadCRM extension from the Chrome Web Store directly.
Once the account is created, the LeadCRM icon will appear on your LinkedIn account.
On clicking on this icon, you can access the dashboard of the Chrome extension.
Make sure to validate your email ID as soon as you enter the dashboard. This will help in seamless process management.
In the LeadCRM dashboard, go to CRM Settings>> Integrations section on the left panel. You can choose from the list of CRM tools you want to integrate with. It is a one-click CRM sync process.

LeadCRM supports three major CRMs: HubSpot, Salesforce, and Pipedrive for now. In this guide, we chose to integrate with Pipedrive. So, create an account on the Pipedrive portal. Verify your email ID and get integrated.
LeadCRM supports all of these scenarios. Choose the lead list you want to export contacts from. Daily you can export upto 250 leads. That’s 7500 leads a month.
You’ll find the “Export with Pipedrive” button at the bottom of your Sales Navigator page because LeadCRM directly pushes all the data into your chosen CRM. Once you select the contacts you want to export, the export button will darken (or activate) and will be available for the export.
After clicking “Export with LeadCRM,” you’ll be redirected to the LeadCRM app dashboard.
Choose whether you want to enrich the leads with verified emails, then name your export and click “Enrich and Export as Contact.”
The best feature of LeadCRM is its waterfall enrichment where data exported is verified from multiple sources and transported into your CRM. This data can be anything from email address to phone number to message history.
You’ll see an estimated completion time on the left as the export begins.
LeadCRM processes your leads in real-time, ensuring your lead generation is GDPR-compliant, unlike bulk databases.
All the data exported can be mapped by custom settings so you can streamline your workflow.
Once the export finishes, it will direct you to your CRM account.
