we've had the same linkedin extension for sales for like 2 years now and its starting to fell clunky. the UI hasnt been updated in forever and it crashes on every other profile. right now im using sales nativator + LeadIQ for contact finding but LeadIQ is getting expensive for what it does.

but im wondering what else is out there. what linkedin chrome extension are you all running these days? looking for something that:

• doesnt crash every 5 minutes
• finds verified emails (not just guesses)
• ideally has mobile numbers too
• plays nice with Salesforce

im in SaaS, team of 8 SDRs, doung about 200 prospects per day across the team. price isnt a huge issue if the data quality is there. my manager keeps asking why our bounce rates are so high and honestly i think its the tools and not us lol

Small B2B team, 6 people, Pipesrive is our CRM and its perfectly fine for our deal size and complexity, not looking to rip it out. Problem is our current cold email setup doesnt talk to it at all, so every week someone exports a CSV of new contacts to upload for sequencing, then manuallt updates deal stages when someone replies. Its maybe 3-4 hours a week of pure copy-paste that shouldn't need to exist anymore.

Looking for an outreach platform that actually syncs both directions:

• new Pipedrive contacts flow into sequences without a manual export
• replies/engagement push deal stage updates back automatically
• some AI-assisted piece since we're evaluating those anyway, personalization or reply handling
• doesnt require us to abandon Pipedrive for something heavier like Salesforce

Anyone actually running Pipedrive alongside a modern outreach tool without the CSV dance? What's the actual integration depth like, native or Zapier duct tape?

No finance person on staff, just a founder wearing every hat. Curious how other small teams are actually managing idle cash without it becoming a part-time job. What are you using and is it worth the setup?
