How to Exclude Leads & Accounts from Search Results?

Create a list of leads or accounts, then exclude it from future searches. This keeps leads you’ve already exported, clients, and competitors out of your results.

You can exclude:

  • Previously exported leads
  • Current clients
  • Competitors
  1. Tick the checkboxes next to the leads or accounts, then click Save to list and the + button to create the list that will hold what you want excluded from your next searches.

  1. Repeat on every page. Sales Navigator selects 25 leads per page and you can’t select the whole search at once, so save each page to the list.
