If you're getting this error, chances are that you're most likely not doing anything wrong.

You don't need to retry the job(s) too because it will give you the same output.

" So what cant I do?!"

You can either:

  • Search only for 2nd degree connections

  • Create a new search

You might want to remember that it's all about title and boolean search.

Base your search on job title: titles are important and are the key parameter of a good LinkedIn/Sales Navigator Search.
​
​

If you are looking for " CEO", you will have displayed only the results that match your search and will look only for the current job title.
​
​

When searching for profiles by keywords, please keep in mind that a search for keyword will look in the entire profile, and you might end up having results that are not consistent with your search: for example, you could have in your results someone that has been a CEO for 6 months.. 10 years ago.

Finally, if you are looking to master your search, take a look at this quick article on how to become an expert on using the search functions on Sales Navigator.

Spoiler alert: it's all about the Boolean Search

How to deduce connection_degree:

  • -1: The user's profile has been locked

  • 1: First degree connection

  • 2: Second degree connection

  • 3: Third degree connection
