As you prospect with Salesloft Salesloft, our tool searches public information on their LinkedIn account and leaves a “view” of their profile.

You’re finding the contact information of the people you care about, but you’re also alerting them that you’re interested. It’s a touch that sparks curiosity and creates a warmer lead, and it’s done automatically.

In November 2012, our CEO, Kyle, prospected a list of VPs of Sales.
One of the prospects noticed Kyle had viewed his profile. He navigated to the Salesloft homepage and signed up for the free version.
Later that week, the prospect submitted a support ticket and soon signed a $12K deal.
The initial trigger? The notification that Kyle had viewed his profile. It truly validates the power of a LinkedIn “view,” and is a super simple way to warm up leads and close more deals.
