LinkedIn Outreach without Sales Navigator

Easy targeted LinkedIn outreach without Sales Navigator.

LinkedIn outreach is essential – sales, recruiting, partnerships, even fundraising all rely on it. But you don’t need Sales Navigator to do it well. LinkedIn’s built-in search already supports powerful keywords, titles, locations, industries, and more – features most people don’t use.

In fact, LinkedIn even supports complex search query operators that let you combine keywords and filters in advanced ways. But for most of us, that’s far too complex or tedious to use every time we want to find the right people.

Instead of fiddling with endless filters or memorizing LinkedIn’s complex search syntax, Cheatdeck lets you describe what you want – and it takes care of the rest. It uses LinkedIn like a real human would: clicking, scrolling, searching, and connecting – only faster and more consistent. Because it runs locally in your browser with your own account, your credentials never leave your machine.

Why Keywords Beat Guesswork:

  • Combine role + seniority + industry (e.g. “CTO fintech” + “Canada”)
  • Target problem/tech stack terms (“fundraising”, “leadership”, “AI”, “Salesforce”)
  • Include locations (“San Francisco”, “Boston”, “New York City”)

How It Works (With a Cheat!):

  1. Describe who you want to reach. Example: “Find startup founders in Canada with AI or data backgrounds." Include keywords
  2. Save your Cheat. A reusable, repeatable automation for next time
  3. Run it. Cheatdeck searches, filters, and logs results – no Sales Navigator required

You’ll watch results fill in real time, just like you doing it – minus the manual grind.
