As sales markets evolve, tools that bridge the gap between prospecting and customer relationship management (CRM) systems are gaining importance.
LinkMatch, a Chrome extension designed to integrate LinkedIn with Pipedrive, helps social sellers streamline their outreach and work more efficiently. With features like smart profile recognition, AI-powered insights and automated data syncing, LinkMatch makes it easier to manage leads, qualify prospects and personalize communication – without leaving LinkedIn.
Here are 11 powerful ways to use the LinkMatch integration with Pipedrive to boost your sales efficiency.
1. Instantly spot who’s already in your CRM
While scrolling through LinkedIn, it’s easy to lose track of who you’ve already contacted. LinkMatch adds visual indicators directly to LinkedIn profiles, making it clear whether a person or company already exists in your Pipedrive database.
LinkMatch eliminates the need to switch tabs or dig around – just scan and go. It saves time, prevents duplicates and keeps your prospecting organized.
Note: According to LinkedIn, 78% of social sellers outsell peers who don’t use social media.
2. View and edit Pipedrive profiles within LinkedIn
Once a profile is matched, you can open and edit the full Pipedrive record within LinkedIn. View details like deals, activities and notes without ever leaving the page you’re on.
This seamless experience lets you update contact details, add notes or schedule activities while focusing on outreach. It’s the fastest way to keep your CRM current while working in the flow of LinkedIn.
3. Save new LinkedIn leads to Pipedrive in one click
Found a great prospect who’s not yet in your CRM? With LinkMatch, you can instantly save their profile to Pipedrive with a single click. Here’s what you can do when saving a profile:
Assign deals and link activities
Apply custom field mappings
Use templates to automatically fill in relevant details
Ensure data is structured correctly from the start
This feature is perfect for busy sales teams who want to keep their databases clean, complete and organized while avoiding the hassle of manual entry.
4. Keep data fresh with auto-sync
People change jobs, update their information or add new roles all the time. LinkMatch automatically synchronizes these updates to guarantee that your Pipedrive contacts stay up to date.
It also syncs your LinkedIn conversations directly to the contact’s Pipedrive timeline, giving you a complete view of every interaction. No more bouncing between tools to remember what was said or when.
5. Use AI to identify decision-makers faster
LinkMatch’s Professional plan offers useful AI features to help you target the right people. The tool’s AI scans LinkedIn profiles to highlight decision-makers and key influencers within a company, making it easier to target those with buying power.
You no longer have to guess who’s in charge because LinkMatch does the legwork for you.
6. Get engagement timing suggestions with AI
Knowing when to reach out can make or break a deal. LinkMatch’s AI offers smart timing suggestions based on prospect activity, helping you choose the best moments to start a conversation.
Aligning your outreach with peak engagement times helps increase your chances of getting noticed and receiving replies, especially when you’re aiming to send an email at the best time.
7. Personalize outreach with communication style analysis
Everyone communicates differently. Some prefer direct messaging, while others appreciate a more conversational tone. LinkMatch’s AI-powered sales intelligence analyses LinkedIn activity to suggest communication styles that resonate best with your prospects.
This means every message you send feels more natural, relevant and personal, boosting engagement and building trust faster.
Note: Research from McKinsey & Company shows that 71% of consumers expect companies to deliver personalized interactions, and 76% get frustrated when this doesn’t happen.
8. Use custom AI prompts for deeper insights
For deal-specific insights, LinkMatch’s Professional plan lets you use custom prompts to generate quick summaries and deeper context for your prospects.
Whether you’re prepping for a sales call or crafting a sales pitch, you’ll get the data you need in seconds. It’s like having a personal sales analyst on your team right in your browser.
