I'm in a dilemma. I'm trying to figure out a way to get my LinkedIn contacts into the CRM. I'm currently using the plug in Hublead and am having good success with it for basic contact management. I am NOT doing any oubound reach outs with automation tools as I know people get flagged by LinkedIn.
Are there any other ways to get LinkedIn contact info into into the HubSpot CRM safely without getting SalesNavigator which is very pricy for a small business startup. Tech support mentioned API's can be used but I'm not sure if anyone has a resource for this.
You're actually on the right track with using Hublead to manage your LinkedIn contacts in HubSpot CRM! I have a few suggestions/alternatives to Sales Nav for importing those LK contacts into HS:
The simplest and safest method is to manually add LinkedIn contacts to HubSpot. This can be done by exporting LinkedIn contacts to a CSV file and then importing that file into HubSpot. LinkedIn allows you to export your connections from the "Settings & Privacy" under the "Data privacy" section.
Integrating with Zapier would work out well! Zapier offers some integrations between LK and HS that do not require Sales Navigator. So that you can capture new leads or contacts when specific actions happen on LinkedIn (like a message).
The more flexible solution would be a custom API. Our team has built many of them, as it requires some technical expertise, but of course that comes with a cost.
Please, Anne, make sure that any method or tool you choose to go with complies with LinkedIn's terms of service, ESPECIALLY regarding data extraction and automation, to avoid potential flags or account restrictions.
