Sales leaders

What's the Boolean string for sales leaders on LinkedIn?Every title it covers, and what it leaves out.

In Sales Navigator, paste this into the title filter: ("VP Sales" OR "VP of Sales" OR "Vice President of Sales" OR "Head of Sales" OR "Chief Revenue Officer" OR CRO OR "Sales Director" OR "Director of Sales") NOT (assistant OR intern OR recruiter). It covers 8 ways people write the title and leaves out assistant, intern, recruiter.

Job titles in the sales leaders string, and the titles it leaves out
TitleIn or outWhy
VP SalesInThe short form.
VP of SalesInLinkedIn matches a quoted phrase exactly, so each wording needs its own entry.
Vice President of SalesInThe spelled-out form.
Head of SalesInSame seniority under another name.
Chief Revenue OfficerInThe revenue executive, spelled out.
CROInThe same, as an acronym.
Sales DirectorInOne level down in many teams. Remove both director titles for VP and above only.
Director of SalesInLinkedIn matches a quoted phrase exactly, so each wording needs its own entry.
assistantOutAssistants to a VP often carry the VP's title in theirs. LinkedIn's own example leaves them out: VP NOT (assistant OR SVP).
internOutKeeps out interns.
recruiterOutRecruiters hiring for these roles can have the title words in theirs.

Finding sales leaders

Sales leaders go by a dozen titles.Here's how the string covers them.

The same job is VP Sales at one company and Head of Sales at the next.

  1. 01

    Every wording needs its own entry

    Quotes make LinkedIn match a phrase exactly, so "VP Sales" doesn't find "VP of Sales". The string lists each wording, joined with OR.

  2. 02

    Paste it into the title filter

    Sales Navigator reads Boolean in its Company, title and keyword fields. Titles in the title filter find people by the job they hold, not by words elsewhere on their profile; add industry words in Keywords.

  3. 03

    Directors or not

    Directors of sales report to the VP in many teams. If you want the person who signs, remove both director titles; if you want the person who runs the team day to day, keep them. That's our view.

How do I find sales leaders in Sales Navigator?
Paste a Boolean string of their title variants into the title filter, leave out assistants and interns, and add industry words in Keywords.
Should I search for VP Sales or Head of Sales?
