How to Export Leads from LinkedIn Sales Navigator (with Emails)

You can't export leads from LinkedIn Sales Navigator natively. LinkedIn confirms there is no CSV or XLS export of lead or account data; the only official way to move leads out is the CRM sync of the Advanced Plus plan (Salesforce, Microsoft Dynamics, HubSpot). To get a Sales Navigator search or lead list into a spreadsheet, with email addresses, you need a third-party tool.

This guide shows the whole process with useArtemis: build the search, import it with the Chrome extension, add verified emails, then download a CSV or start outreach. It works for a search results page and for a saved lead list.

Can you export leads from Sales Navigator without a tool?

Not in any practical way. Here is what LinkedIn itself offers in October 2026:

Sales Navigator doesn't show email addresses either, except the ones people share with their connections. So even with CRM Sync you end up with names, titles and companies, not a contact list you can email.

Before using an export tool, know where LinkedIn stands: its User Agreement prohibits software and browser extensions that scrape or copy data from the site, and accounts that use them risk restrictions. We cover the rules, the risks and how tools differ in our Sales Navigator scraper guide. Read it if you're choosing a tool; this page is the practical tutorial.

What you need

• A Sales Navigator subscription (Core is enough). If you haven't got access yet, see how to log in to Sales Navigator and the current Sales Navigator prices.
• A useArtemis account (plans from $69 a month, no free trial) and its Chrome extension.
• A search under 2,500 results, or a saved lead list.

Step 1: Build a search under 2,500 results (or open a lead list)

Sales Navigator only displays 2,500 lead results per search, across 100 pages of 25. Anything beyond that can't be seen, so it can't be exported either. Aim for a search that fits.

1. In Sales Navigator, open Lead filters and set your criteria. For example: Current job title "Head of Sales", Company headcount 51–200, Geography "France".
2. Check the results count at the top. If it's above 2,500, add a filter or split the search into several smaller ones: by geography (one search per region), by company headcount band, by seniority level, or by industry.
3. Optional but useful: turn on Save search to get notified of new results. Sales Navigator will then email you weekly when new people match, and you can import just the new ones later.

Using a lead list instead? Lists are where you keep hand-picked leads. To fill one, tick the checkbox above the search results and click Save to list, 25 leads at a time. Sales Navigator caps each list at 1,000 leads and 10,000 saved leads in total. Then open the list from your lead lists page: the import works the same way.

Better filters mean a better export. If your keyword searches return noise, our guide to LinkedIn Boolean search helps you tighten job titles with AND, OR and NOT.

Step 2: Import the search with the useArtemis extension

1. Stay on the Sales Navigator results page (or the lead list page).
2. Click the useArtemis icon in your Chrome toolbar. If you don't see it, click the puzzle-piece icon and pin it.
3. Choose the list the leads should go into, or create a new one with a clear name ("Heads of Sales FR 51-200").
4. Pick how many pages to import, up to 100 (that's the full 2,500 results).
5. Launch the import.

The export runs in the cloud, at a human pace, from your own LinkedIn account. You can close the tab and keep working; the leads appear in your list as they're imported. If your LinkedIn account is brand new, start with smaller imports.

Step 3: Add verified email addresses

Open the list in useArtemis and click Find emails. The email finder looks up each lead's professional email across several data providers, one after the other, and verifies every address before it's added to your list. One credit equals one verified email; the Starter plan includes 500 verified emails a month and unused credits roll over.

You won't get an email for every single lead (some people work at companies with no findable or verifiable address), but the ones you get are checked, which protects your sender reputation.

Step 4: Download a CSV or start outreach

Two options from the list:

• Download a CSV. Use the export menu and choose Export full list or Export verified emails only. The file opens in Excel or Google Sheets and imports into any CRM.
• Contact the leads directly. Start a sequence on the same list, mixing LinkedIn steps (profile visit, invitation, message) and emails, with an AI-written message for each lead. Replies from LinkedIn and email land in one inbox.

What data you get for each lead

Each imported lead comes with:

• First and last name
• Job title
• Company and company website
• Location
• LinkedIn profile URL and Sales Navigator URL
• LinkedIn signals: Premium, Open profile (anyone can message them, no connection needed) and Open to work
• After Step 3: a verified professional email

The Open profile signal is handy: those people can receive messages without a connection request, so they're often the easiest to reach first. Premium members are usually active on LinkedIn; if you want to target them specifically, see how to find LinkedIn Premium members.

Tips for cleaner Sales Navigator exports

• One search, one list. Mixing several searches in one list makes it hard to personalize messages later. Name lists after the segment.
• Exclude what you already have. Sales Navigator's Workflow filters (for example "People you interacted with" or "Lead lists") let you remove leads you've already saved or contacted before you import.
• Split by region rather than by alphabet. Regional splits keep each list coherent for messaging and time zones.
• Re-run saved searches. Import only new matches every few weeks instead of re-exporting the whole audience.
• Keep a human pace. Sales Navigator can temporarily restrict searches and profile views when it detects unusual activity, including extensions that trigger lots of profile views. Big imports in a row on a fresh account are a bad idea.

FAQ

Can you export a lead list from LinkedIn Sales Navigator?

Not natively. LinkedIn doesn't offer a CSV or Excel export; Advanced Plus users can only sync leads with their CRM. To export a lead list to a spreadsheet, open the list in Sales Navigator and import it with a tool such as the useArtemis Chrome extension, then download it as a CSV.

Does LinkedIn Sales Navigator provide email addresses?

No. Sales Navigator shows contact details only when a member shares them with their connections, which is rare for leads outside your network. You need an email finder to get professional emails, ideally one that verifies each address before you send.

How many leads can I export from a Sales Navigator search?

Up to 2,500 per search, because Sales Navigator only displays 2,500 lead results (100 pages of 25). For a larger audience, split it into several searches with extra filters, such as region, company size or seniority, and import each one.

Can I export Sales Navigator leads to Excel?

Yes, through a CSV file. Once your leads are imported, export the list as a CSV and open it in Excel or Google Sheets. Columns include name, job title, company, website, location, LinkedIn URLs and the verified email.

Is exporting leads from Sales Navigator allowed by LinkedIn?

LinkedIn's User Agreement prohibits scraping tools, and LinkedIn can restrict accounts that use them. Many sales teams still export their Sales Navigator searches with third-party tools; if you do, keep volumes reasonable and use a tool that works at a human pace. Our Sales Navigator scraper guide explains the risks in detail.
