Sales Navigator alternative for finding warm leads
Sales Navigator helps you find people to cold contact. CatchIntent helps you find people already looking to buy. Warm beats cold.
Why teams switch from LinkedIn Sales Navigator
Real challenges that lead people to look for alternatives
Cold outreach, cold results
Sales Navigator gives you lists of people to contact. Most aren't looking for your solution right now. InMail response rates are 10-25%.
No buyer intent detection
Sales Navigator shows you who matches your ICP. It doesn't show you who's actively seeking solutions or evaluating options.
Expensive per seat
At $99-165 per user per month, Sales Navigator adds up fast. A 5-person team pays $6,000-10,000 annually.
LinkedIn only
Your buyers discuss problems on Twitter, Reddit, and Hacker News too. Sales Navigator only shows LinkedIn activity.
Passive tool, active work
Sales Navigator doesn't alert you to opportunities. You have to actively search, browse, and prospect.
InMail fatigue everywhere
Everyone with Sales Navigator sends InMails. Buyers are drowning in cold pitches and ignoring most of them.

CatchIntent finds buyers based on their intent signals, not company lists. For specific account targeting, Sales Navigator may still be useful alongside CatchIntent.
Why choose intent over cold prospecting?
Warm prospects who are already looking for solutions convert better than cold contacts. Response rates are 2-4x higher when you're helping versus interrupting.
