A ready string for Sales Navigator, no signup.** Use it at https://tools.joinvalley.co/linkedin-boolean-search-sales-leaders Part of the [LinkedIn Boolean search builder](https://tools.joinvalley.co/linkedin-boolean-search). ## 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. | Title | In or out | Why | | --- | --- | --- | | VP Sales | In | The short form. | | VP of Sales | In | LinkedIn matches a quoted phrase exactly, so each wording needs its own entry. | | Vice President of Sales | In | The spelled-out form. | | Head of Sales | In | Same seniority under another name. | | Chief Revenue Officer | In | The revenue executive, spelled out. | | CRO | In | The same, as an acronym. | | Sales Director | In | One level down in many teams. Remove both director titles for VP and above only. | | Director of Sales | In | LinkedIn matches a quoted phrase exactly, so each wording needs its own entry. | | assistant | Out | Assistants to a VP often carry the VP's title in theirs. LinkedIn's own example leaves them out: VP NOT (assistant OR SVP). | | intern | Out | Keeps out interns. | | recruiter | Out | Recruiters hiring for these roles can have the title words in theirs. | Our picks, not LinkedIn's. Add or remove titles in the builder above and the string updates.

Edit any of them, switch product, or add keywords, and the string updates. Everything runs in your browser, and nothing you type is sent to us. Quotes, parentheses and capital operators go in for you, following LinkedIn's Boolean rules, and the checker below the builder flags anything LinkedIn won't read the way you meant. ## 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. ### 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.

Titles in the title filter find people by the job they hold, not by words elsewhere on their profile; add industry words in Keywords.

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. ## Sources - [LinkedIn Help: Use Boolean search on LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/help/linkedin/answer/a524335) (read 2026-10-30) - [LinkedIn Help: Using Boolean Search on Sales Navigator](https://www.linkedin.com/help/sales-navigator/answer/a168061) (read 2026-10-30) - [LinkedIn Help: Use Boolean to filter search results in Recruiter and Recruiter Lite](https://www.linkedin.com/help/recruiter/answer/a415295) (read 2026-10-30) - [LinkedIn Help: Boolean Query Limitations](https://www.linkedin.com/help/linkedin/answer/a524411/boolean-query-limitations) (read 2026-10-30) ## Questions people ask ### What's the Boolean string for VP of Sales on LinkedIn?
