2. How do I access Sales Navigator?
NOTE: If you're assigned to multiple Sales Navigator accounts, you'll be prompted to select an account.
When you're first assigned a seat in Sales Navigator, you'll receive an invitation via email with a link to the Sales Navigator login screen. The first time you log in, you'll be prompted to complete the onboarding process.
After that, you can sign in to your Sales Navigator account at any time from the login page. You'll be prompted to enter your email address and password. Keep in mind that you'll use the same email address and password that's registered to your LinkedIn account.
If you're already signed in to your LinkedIn account, you won't be prompted to enter your email address or password again.

3. What happens when I first login to LinkedIn Sales Navigator?
The first time you log in to use LinkedIn Sales Navigator, you'll be taken through onboarding to help tailor LinkedIn Sales Navigator to your needs.
LinkedIn will use the information you submit during onboarding to provide you with relevant lead recommendations and sales updates.
When you're first assigned a seat in Sales Navigator, you'll receive an invitation via email with a link to the Sales Navigator login screen:
- If you don't currently have a LinkedIn.com account, you'll be guided through the process of creating one. After your LinkedIn.com account has been created, you'll be able to associate your Sales Navigator email address (if it's different) with your LinkedIn.com account.
- If you already have a LinkedIn.com account, but the email address used to assign your seat in Sales Navigator is different than the one on your LinkedIn account, you'll be prompted to associate your Sales Navigator email address with your LinkedIn.com account.
- If you already have a Sales Navigator account, you may see a chooser page to select the appropriate contract (you may be a member of multiple Sales Navigator accounts).
You'll be prompted to complete the onboarding process which requires you to do the following:
- Identify the sales territories you target (optional)
- Identify the industries you target
- Identify the company size you target
- Identify the functions you target
- Select at least three companies to target as accounts
- Create lead recommendations (for Sales Navigator Professional and Sales Navigator Team)
Linkedin will also provide suggestions so you can save three or more accounts to receive custom insights and recommendations.
After you make these selections during onboarding, Sales Navigator will deliver real-time updates and news on your leads and accounts to give you relevant reasons to reach out.
For customers with Sales Navigator Professional or Sales Navigator Team, the information provided during onboarding is also used to help create lead recommendations.
After onboarding, you can always update the geographies, industries, functions, and company size you target by from your Sales Navigator settings page.
3. How do I change the preferences that deliver me sales recommendations in LinkedIn Sales Navigator?
LinkedIn Sales Navigator filters are preferences and criteria you set for Sales Navigator to help you access leads and accounts of your choice, based on region, industry, function, seniority level, etc. You can select multiple preferences and Sales Navigator will filter and surface lead recommendations based on your interests.
