Use Case
LinkedIn URL Resolution for Outbound Sales Prospecting
Sales Navigator is where your SDRs find prospects — but the lead URLs inside it don't work outside of LinkedIn. NameToProfile converts every Sales Navigator lead URL into the public LinkedIn profile URL your outreach tools actually need, so your team can act on their prospecting work immediately.
The Problem
Sales Navigator URLs don't work in your outreach stack
Your SDRs spend significant time in LinkedIn Sales Navigator identifying target prospects — filtering by title, industry, geography, and company size to find the right leads. But when they try to bring those leads into your actual outreach workflow, a recurring problem appears.
The URLs that Sales Navigator associates with each lead — the linkedin.com/sales/lead/ links — are internal tracking URLs. They don't work for anyone who doesn't have a Sales Navigator session active. They can't be imported into Apollo, Outreach, HubSpot Sequences, or any other outreach tool that expects a standard linkedin.com/in/ profile URL.
The result: manual lookup work. Your SDRs open each profile, copy the public URL, paste it into the CRM. At any real prospecting volume, this kills productivity.
What NameToProfile does
We resolve the Sales Navigator internal URL to the correct linkedin.com/in/username public profile URL — so you can use it anywhere, import it into any tool, and share it with anyone on your team without Sales Navigator.
Works with your tools
- Apollo — LinkedIn URL field in contact records
- Outreach — prospect profile URL
- HubSpot — LinkedIn profile URL property
- Salesforce — contact LinkedIn field
- Any tool that accepts a standard LinkedIn profile URL
How SDR Teams Use NameToProfile
Three ways to fit it into your workflow
Chrome Extension — one at a time
Install the Chrome Extension and resolve leads directly inside Sales Navigator with one click. The public URL appears as an overlay — copy it and move on. No tab switching, no manual lookup.
Install Chrome Extension →Batch processing — whole lists at once
Export a Sales Navigator lead list as CSV, upload it to NameToProfile's batch processor, and get back a file with the public LinkedIn profile URL resolved for every lead. Ideal for weekly prospecting lists.
Learn about batch processing →Google Sheets — collaborative teams
If your team maintains shared prospecting sheets in Google Workspace, the NameToProfile Sheets add-in lets you resolve URLs in bulk directly inside the spreadsheet — no exports, no separate tool.

Need us to build the prospecting list too?
If your SDR team doesn't have Sales Navigator access, or you want to outsource the list-building step entirely, our lead list building service handles both: we source targeted leads from Sales Navigator based on your ICP, then resolve the LinkedIn profile URLs for every lead before delivery.
You receive a fully structured, outreach-ready CSV — no internal Sales Navigator URLs, no manual lookup work required on your end.
