Frequently asked questions
Why do I need to sign in with LinkedIn?
It keeps BizDevEx made up of real, working sales professionals — most people already have an account, and LinkedIn's verified corporate emails help authenticate who you're talking to.
How many active exchange requests can I have?
Free plans allow 2 active requests at a time; Pro allows 5. An exchange stops counting toward that limit once it's declined, once both sides have left feedback, or once you cancel it — either way it moves to your archive. You can cancel a request you sent once it's been pending 3 days without a response, freeing up the slot to send elsewhere.
How does the feedback score work?
After an accepted exchange, both sides can leave a short note and a positive or neutral rating. Positive ratings raise your score; neutral ratings don't change it.
What's the difference between Private Connect and Partner Connect?
Private Connect lets you list your own personal contacts at companies outside your own. Partner Connect lets you grant a trusted partner visibility into specific accounts you manage.
How many Private Connect contacts can I add?
You can add up to 15 Private Connect contacts total on any plan, but only 5 can be visible to the marketplace at a time on Free — Pro plans can have all 15 visible. This is meant for real, close contacts you can actually facilitate an intro through — not a long scraped list — and it keeps the database from being overloaded with contacts that aren't legitimate. You can toggle any individual contact's visibility on or off, and hide your own profile from Search entirely, from your Profile page. If you downgrade from Pro to Free, your contacts are all moved to hidden and you'll pick which 5 to make visible again.
