Questions

Frequently asked questions

Is Bullseye a LinkedIn Sales Navigator alternative?

No — different use cases. Sales Nav is for outbound: finding and messaging prospects on LinkedIn. Bullseye is for inbound: identifying people who already visited your website. Most effective sales teams use both — Sales Nav to proactively prospect target accounts and Bullseye to capture warm demand that's already happening.

Does Bullseye give me LinkedIn profiles?

Yes — Bullseye returns the visitor's LinkedIn profile URL alongside their name, business email, and job title. You get the equivalent of what you'd find manually on LinkedIn, plus the visitor's actual website activity — all without the manual prospecting and list-building work.

Can I contact Bullseye leads via LinkedIn?

Yes — since Bullseye provides LinkedIn profile URLs, you can reach out via LinkedIn (including with Sales Nav InMail) or via email. Many teams run a multi-channel play: email from Bullseye's data, LinkedIn message from Sales Nav, and a final email follow-up. Warm inbound leads respond significantly better to this sequence than cold prospects.

Which tool has higher response rates?

Bullseye-sourced leads (people who visited your site) typically see 3x higher response rates than cold Sales Nav outreach, because they've already shown interest. That's the structural advantage of warm inbound vs. cold outbound — regardless of which tool you use to identify the contact.

How do the pricing models compare?

Sales Nav starts at ~$80/user/month and scales with seats. Bullseye starts at $99/month total regardless of team size. For a 5-person sales team, Sales Nav runs ~$400/month while Bullseye is $99 — different pricing structures for different use cases, both reasonable for their respective jobs.
