Salesloft is an enterprise sales engagement platform — cadences, dialer, forecasting, and deep CRM integration for full sales orgs. If you're looking for a Salesloft alternative, it's usually because it's too much tool, too much money, or too email-and-phone-focused for LinkedIn-led prospecting.
What Salesloft does well
Salesloft is a heavyweight for structured sales teams: multi-step cadences across email and phone, a built-in dialer, conversation intelligence, forecasting, and tight Salesforce integration. Pricing is enterprise — annual contracts, custom quotes, typically a significant per-seat cost. For a large, process-driven sales org, it's a serious platform. (Contact them for current pricing.)
Why people look for an alternative
- Enterprise price and commitment. Annual contracts and per-seat costs put it out of reach for founders, small teams, and solo sellers.
- Overkill for many. Most of its power is aimed at large, structured teams; smaller operations use a fraction of it.
- Email and phone first. Salesloft's core is cadences over email and calls; LinkedIn is a secondary step, not the heart of it.
- Implementation weight. It's a platform to roll out, not a tool you start using this afternoon.
The main alternatives
- Outreach.io — the other enterprise sales engagement heavyweight, similar scope and commitment.
- Apollo.io — self-serve data plus sequencing at a fraction of the price. See Apollo.io alternatives.
- Lemlist — outreach and deliverability for smaller teams. See Lemlist alternatives.
- Conextly — LinkedIn-native prospecting for teams whose pipeline starts on LinkedIn, not in the dialer.
Why Conextly is the pick
If your prospecting lives on LinkedIn and you don't need an enterprise cadence platform, Conextly is the right-sized tool:
- Find the right people with LinkedIn search and Boolean filters. See Find.
- Track them on a live pipeline with job-change alerts, and sync to your CRM when a prospect turns into a deal. See Track.
- Draft & Approve a personal message per person from their profile, approved by you before it sends. See Draft & Approve.
You get LinkedIn prospecting done properly — personal, tracked, and safe — without an enterprise contract or a rollout project, and it feeds the CRM your team already runs on rather than replacing it. See the LinkedIn CRM for agencies and best LinkedIn prospecting tools guides.
