Frequently Asked Questions

Is LinkedIn Sales Navigator worth the cost for Indian B2B sales teams?

For B2B sales teams targeting Indian or global decision-makers, yes. LinkedIn has the most accurate Indian decision-maker data — Naukri, IndiaMART, etc. don't come close for C-suite/VP-level contacts. ₹8,300/user/month ROI: 1-2 deals/quarter justifies the cost for typical Indian B2B sales rep.

Should I use Apollo.io instead of LinkedIn Sales Navigator?

Apollo.io (~₹4,200/user/month) combines database + outreach in one tool. LinkedIn Sales Nav (₹8,300/user) is pure prospecting on LinkedIn. For Indian B2B, many use BOTH: Sales Nav for finding decision-makers + Apollo for email outreach. If budget allows only one: Sales Nav for relationship-based selling, Apollo for outbound-at-scale.
