It all comes down to a clever, automated LinkedIn data export tool called Surfe (nice to meet you!). Let’s get started 👇

Export LinkedIn Data to Your CRM in One Click

We’re sure you’re raring to understand a little more about Surfe and how it can help you export LinkedIn data directly into your CRM. Let’s find out!

The Surfe Chrome extension was built to make exporting LinkedIn data to your CRM easier, faster, and more accurate. Not only does it transfer key details from LinkedIn to your CRM, but it also finds verified email addresses for your leads, ensuring you always have the right contact information. Sounds like a win to us.

All you have to do is download the Surfe LinkedIn Chrome extension and connect it to your CRM of choice. It takes about 2 minutes, and we integrate with all the major CRMs (or Google Sheets if that’s more your jam).

Once you’ve all set up, simply visit the LinkedIn profile of the person whose data you’d like to export. Hit the ‘Add as contact’ button and that’s it! Surfe will export the following LinkedIn data directly into your CRM:

Their name
Their job title
Their company
Their location
Any other details available on LinkedIn

We’re sure we don’t need to tell you that being able to export LinkedIn data in just one click saves an awful lot of time – upfront, and later down the line. See, when you export LinkedIn data into your CRM manually, there’s a pretty good chance that at some point or another, you’re going to make a mistake. We’re only human, after all!

With Surfe, however, there’s no such chance – which means you won’t suffer the embarrassment of getting someone’s name or job title wrong or missing out on vital information that you forgot to enter. Nice.

Waterfall Enrichment: Export LinkedIn Data, and Find Emails and Phone Numbers with Surfe

Now, exporting all this LinkedIn data directly to your CRM is pretty nifty – but Surfe doesn’t stop there. In fact, it makes your LinkedIn prospecting activities even better by also finding email addresses and phone numbers – using its clever waterfall enrichment technology.

Let us explain. When you click ‘Add as contact’, Surfe’s waterfall enrichment technology gets to work behind the scenes, aggregating several top-quality data sources to find verified emails and phone numbers.

It checks and double-checks these details, before adding them right on into your CRM alongside the exported LinkedIn data you’ve pulled. Even better, Surfe runs daily checks to make sure that something hasn’t changed – say, a contact’s moved jobs and got a new phone number. If it spots that details need updating, it’ll let you know and make the change if you so please – meaning you can be confident that you’ll always have the most accurate and up-to-date contact information.

By eliminating the time spent guessing or searching for contact details – and the subsequent time drain of an incorrect phone number or email address – you and your team will become more efficient, and enjoy boosted outreach success rates, too.

Export LinkedIn Sales Navigator Data to Your CRM

Ok, so far so good, but what if you want to export LinkedIn data in bulk from LinkedIn Sales Navigator?

Don’t worry – we’ve still got you covered. We know that LinkedIn Sales Navigator is one of the most widely used tools out there: we’d be silly not to include a solution for its users too!

Once you’ve used LinkedIn Sales Navigator’s filtering abilities to create a strong list of potential leads, hit the ‘Export to CRM’ button to export LinkedIn data from the list directly into your CRM. This includes email addresses and phone numbers found by Surfe, natch.

Being able to export LinkedIn data in bulk (up to 1000 at a time!) means you’ll be able to quickly move from research to outreach, and not have to waste any time manually inputting data or keeping your CRM records updated.

It’ll also make you a better team player: with all your LinkedIn-sourced leads accessible in your CRM, you and your team members will be singing from the same hymn sheet, so to speak.

Why Automating LinkedIn Data Export is a Game-Changer
