If you’re in B2B sales and spend way too much time slogging through LinkedIn, this is for you. LinkedIn prospecting should be about building a pipeline, not wrestling with messy exports and dead-end leads. The reality? Most sales teams burn hours cleaning up data, checking emails that bounce, and manually qualifying people who’ll never buy. There are a million “tools” promising to fix this, but most are either half-baked or just slap a new coat of paint on the same old problems.
That’s where Evaboot comes in. It’s a no-nonsense LinkedIn Sales Navigator scraper focused on saving you time and sanity. Below, I’ll break down the features that actually move the needle, flag what’s just hype, and show you how to make the most of it—without adding a new headache to your stack.
Who Actually Needs Evaboot?
- B2B sales teams using LinkedIn Sales Navigator as a core lead source.
- SDRs or Account Executives who spend hours exporting, cleaning, and qualifying leads.
- Founders or small teams doing their own prospecting and tired of grunt work.
If you’re just casually browsing LinkedIn or don’t need to export leads, you can skip this. But if LinkedIn is your prospecting lifeblood, Evaboot can save you real time.
1. One-Click Export from LinkedIn Sales Navigator
Let’s start with the obvious pain point: exporting leads from Sales Navigator. LinkedIn doesn’t make it easy—by design. You can’t natively export lists, and manual copy-pasting is a nightmare.
What Evaboot Does: - Adds a button to your browser that exports your Sales Navigator search results to CSV. - Captures all key fields: name, company, position, LinkedIn URL, location, and more.
Why It Matters: - No more hacking together exports or hiring VAs to do it for you. - Works with both lead and account (company) lists.
What’s Not So Great: - You still need a Sales Navigator subscription. Evaboot doesn’t bypass LinkedIn’s paywall. - Large exports (thousands of leads) can take a while—don’t expect magic.
Pro Tip: For best results, keep your Sales Navigator lists tidy. Garbage in, garbage out.
2. Automated Data Cleaning: No More Duplicate or Junk Leads
You’d think LinkedIn would keep its data clean. It doesn’t. If you’ve ever opened a CSV and found CEOs of “Self-Employed” or multiple rows for the same person, you know the pain.
Evaboot’s Approach: - Removes duplicates automatically (by LinkedIn URL, not just name). - Filters out “junk” job titles and companies—think students, freelancers, fake accounts. - Identifies incomplete profiles and lets you skip them.
How This Helps: - You don’t waste time chasing people who aren’t buyers. - Cleaner data = fewer bounced emails and awkward intros.
What to Watch Out For: - Automated filters aren’t perfect. Sometimes legit leads get filtered out (double-check your criteria). - Customizing filters takes a bit of trial and error—don’t just accept defaults.
Pro Tip: Download a sample CSV first and spot-check it before running a huge export.
3. Email Finding: Built-In, but Not Magic
Having a lead’s LinkedIn profile is great, but for outbound, you need an actual email address. Evaboot claims to find verified emails for your exported leads. Here’s what that really means.
How It Works: - Uses third-party email-finding APIs to match emails to your leads. - Runs verification to cut down on bounces.
Reality Check: - You won’t get 100% of emails, especially for small companies or people who guard their info. - Quality is decent, not perfect. Expect 60–80% find rates on average. - Works best for mid-market or enterprise prospects.
What to Ignore: - Hype about “guaranteed verified emails.” Nobody can honestly promise that, not even Evaboot.
Pro Tip: Always run a separate email verification step (e.g., NeverBounce, ZeroBounce) before launching a big campaign.
4. Smart Profile Enrichment: Save Research Time
Good prospecting means knowing more than just a name and job title. Evaboot tries to help by enriching profiles with extra data points.
What’s Included: - Company size, industry, website, and company LinkedIn. - Recent activity indicators (to spot active users). - Sometimes pulls extra info like skills or mutual connections.
Upshot: - Makes it easier to qualify leads without combing through profiles one by one. - Helps with personalization—if you actually use the data in your outreach.
Limitations: - Some enrichment fields are hit-or-miss, depending on what’s public on LinkedIn. - Don’t expect deep firmographic data—you’ll still need to do some homework for top targets.
Pro Tip: Set clear criteria for what counts as a “good fit” lead before you export. Otherwise, all the enrichment in the world won’t help.
5. Bulk Processing and Workflow Integrations
Evaboot isn’t just for one-off exports. If you’re running weekly or daily prospecting sprints, you can set it up for higher-volume workflows.
Key Features: - Bulk exports: Process thousands of leads in batches. - Integrates with CRMs (like HubSpot, Salesforce) and cold email tools (like Lemlist, Woodpecker) via CSV or Zapier.
Why This Matters: - Cuts down on repetitive manual work—no more copy-paste hell. - Keeps your CRM in sync with your prospecting lists.
Where It Can Fall Short: - Integrations aren’t “native” for every tool—sometimes you’ll need to fiddle with CSV mapping. - Zapier costs extra, and can be a pain to set up if you’re not already using it.
Pro Tip: Test your CSV imports on a sandbox CRM before dumping in thousands of new leads.
6. Chrome Extension: Simple, Not Cluttered
Evaboot runs as a Chrome extension, so you don’t have to juggle a separate dashboard. It sits on top of Sales Navigator and does its thing in the background.
Upsides: - Minimal learning curve—if you can use Sales Navigator, you can use Evaboot. - Updates automatically, so you don’t need IT to get involved.
Downsides: - Only works in Chrome, and only with Sales Navigator. - If LinkedIn changes its layout, expect some hiccups until Evaboot updates.
Pro Tip: Always keep your extension updated—browser or LinkedIn updates can break things overnight.
What Not to Expect (and What to Ignore)
Let’s be real: Evaboot is a tool, not a magic wand. Here’s what it doesn’t do: - It won’t write your outreach emails or magically get replies. - It can’t make LinkedIn’s data any better than what’s actually there. - If you’re scraping against LinkedIn’s terms, there’s always a (small) risk of account issues.
Ignore any promises about “fully automated” prospecting. You’ll still need to qualify leads, write messages, and follow up like a human. Evaboot just makes the grunt work less painful.
Verdict: Worth It if LinkedIn Prospecting Eats Your Time
If you’re exporting a couple hundred leads a month, you might not need another tool. But if LinkedIn prospecting is a big part of your pipeline, Evaboot is one of the few tools that actually delivers on its core promises: faster exports, cleaner data, and less manual research.
Don’t overcomplicate things. Start with small exports, check your process, and build from there. Tools like Evaboot are there to save you time, not add another layer of complexity. Iterate, keep it simple, and spend more time actually selling—not cleaning up spreadsheets.
