Is outsourced SDR cheaper than hiring in house?
One outsourced SDR retainer typically costs 40 to 60 percent less than a fully loaded in house SDR when you include salary, benefits, tools, management, and ramp time.
In house fully loaded: $95K to $145K per year per SDR (salary, benefits, tools, management overhead).
Outsourced retainer: $48K to $84K per year for equivalent output.
Ramp time: in house takes 90 to 120 days to be productive, outsourced starts booking in 30 to 45 days.
Turnover risk: US SDR average tenure is 14 months, agencies absorb that risk for you.
