However, free accounts are more constrained by current <a href=\"https:\/\/phantombuster.com\/blog\/social-selling\/linkedin-limits\">LinkedIn limits<\/a>, making it difficult to scale your prospecting efforts.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to take your<a href=\"https:\/\/phantombuster.com\/blog\/guides\/prospecting-vs-lead-generation-7xx0HA1chN0sompawqGW3\"> lead generation<\/a> seriously, then it&#8217;s best to invest in a paid account. LinkedIn Premium and Business accounts cost more, especially Sales Navigator, but you will reap the benefits many times over.<\/p>\n<p>With plans designed for recruiters, business owners, and sales reps, you can tap into LinkedIn&#8217;s tailored functionalities depending on your niche.<\/p>\n<p>If you also invest in a lead generation automation tool, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/phantombuster.com\/blog\/company\/what-is-phantombuster-and-what-can-it-do-for-you-1aI9p8CYP4RSOqvVzubdHo\">PhantomBuster<\/a>, you&#8217;ll be able to benefit from these increased functionalities while automating.
