here's our explainer video too: http://bit.ly/namii-explainer

Yeah great points.

I think I heard that NY state might be on track for similar legislation soon too?

Anyhow, we'll see - we certainly don't want to do anything super dodgy or put people in a bad position.

Got any pointers to affordable datasets/lists?

At this stage our first tool is a way for us to build datasets and a user base though yeah, it could turn out this is for a limited time only. Buying datasets can be expensive and we're trying to bootstrap.

Thanks necovek!

TBH, LinkedIn probably won't be our biggest fan but there still remains a big gap between sales nav and CRMs that we're trying to fill. Our users need to make sure they use our tool responsibly. It's doing what they can already do manually and making it easier for them.

We think we should be outside the bounds of GDPR as we don't do business in the EU, though as more and more jurisdictions setup similar legislation it's something we will need to keep in mind and probably need to have a good think about as we move forward.

A simple fix may be to ask our users to acknowledge that they have permission to gather this data in certain cases or something of that nature?

With LinkedIn data itself, public profiles are considered in the public domain though I'm not sure of the legal nuances of that and how that works with GDPR or how it may impact us in future.

Being super fresh, we don't have a way for you to count yourself out.

I'm wondering though, how do you presently deal with your data that has already been, or may be, collected by the myriad existing lead and data aggregation services?

thanks Hard_Space - at the moment, it's all free. Yeah, good point and something for us to think about re the Chrome only extension

Hey I’m James from Namii, we’ve got the lofty goal of building the first complete AI sales rep.

First though, we’ve built a free and unlimited tool to save all your contact and company data from your Linkedin prospecting lists - downloadable by CSV for upload to your CRM.

If you’re an SDR, BDR or founder building prospecting lists for outbound sales with LinkedIn then this should be handy for you.

We built this first for ourselves when we were trying to put together our first outbound campaigns to get customers for an early MVP. There was no free, simple and fast way to get our LinkedIn prospect lists into our CRM for campaigns.

but.. what are you really doing? Well, glad you asked! It’s a journey to a complete AI sale rep and to train them up, the first step is getting data. When you use our free tools you’re also helping us curate that training data, together.

We’re keen for feedback and happy to answer questions on sales, prospecting your first customers in B2B SaaS (or anywhere else really), or geek out about ML. I’m a coder turned sales leader and my co-founder Mitch is a published machine learning scientist.
