People Search lets you import leads directly from a standard LinkedIn search without needing Sales Navigator. This is a simple and flexible way to build prospect lists.


1. Run a LinkedIn People Search

  • Open LinkedIn and run a People Search.

  • Use filters such as:

    • Network level (2nd or 3rd degree connections)

    • Keywords like job titles (CEO, Founder, Entrepreneur)

    • Location, company, industry, profile language, and service category

πŸ‘‰ The search page is already pre-populated in SalesMind AI to guide you, but you can reset and start fresh.


2. Use Keywords and Logic Operators

  • In the keyword field, add job titles or relevant terms.

  • Use capitalized logic operators:

    • OR β†’ CEO OR Founder

    • AND β†’ CEO AND Entrepreneur

  • Combine operators with parentheses for priority, similar to math.

    • Example: (CEO OR Entrepreneur) AND SaaS

πŸ‘‰ Operators must be in capital letters; lowercase will not work.


3. Apply Filters

  • Add additional filters for:

    • Actively hiring status

    • Current company

    • Followers

    • Industry or category

  • Optional filters make your search more precise, but leaving fields blank will broaden results.


4. Copy and Paste the URL

  • Once your search is ready, copy the LinkedIn search URL.

  • Paste it into SalesMind AI.

  • The system will process the URL and import the results into your campaign.


Key Takeaways

  • People Search works without Sales Navigator.

  • Use capitalized logic operators (AND, OR) for advanced keyword searches.

  • Add filters like location, industry, or company for more precision.

  • Copy and paste the URL into SalesMind AI to import results.

  • Leaving fields empty will broaden your search to include more leads.

βœ… With People Search, you can build flexible prospect lists and quickly import them into SalesMind AI campaigns.
