A Better Way to Hire a Sales Development Representative

Inbound leads decay by the minute. A prospect requests a demo at 10am, hears nothing until Thursday, and by then they have seen two competitors. Meanwhile your AEs burn discovery slots on students and job seekers because nobody qualified the queue. Hiring a local SDR costs $65K+ for a role most people leave within two years. Our model closes that gap with a dedicated inbound specialist whose whole job is speed and qualification.

Every candidate passes structured skills-based testing, real-world scenario evaluation including live qualification role-plays, and a hands-on AI fluency assessment. When you hire a sales development representative through us, they are working your inbound queue within 30 days, and we carry the employment contract, payroll, and compliance the entire time.

What does a Sales Development Representative do?

A sales development representative owns your inbound funnel: responding to hand-raisers fast, qualifying them against your ICP, and putting real buyers in front of your closers. Marketing spend stops leaking between the form fill and the first conversation.

  • Respond to demo requests, trial signups, and content leads within minutes, while competitors are still queuing them for tomorrow
  • Qualify inbound leads against your ICP and routing rules, separating real buyers from students, job seekers, and tire kickers
  • Book qualified meetings straight onto AE calendars with Chili Piper or Calendly, with clean notes on need, timeline, and budget
  • Work webinar, event, and content lists with structured follow-up so marketing programs turn into pipeline instead of a dormant database

When is it time to Hire a Sales Development Representative?

You will know it is time when you finally measure speed-to-lead and do not like the answer. These are the other tells.

Demo requests wait hours or days for a response, and your close rate shows it

AEs waste discovery slots on leads nobody qualified first

Marketing generates thousands of MQLs each quarter and sales works almost none of them

Event and webinar leads get one generic email and then silence

How much does it cost to Hire a Sales Development Representative?

Hiring a sales development representative locally typically costs $5,500 to $7,500 per month once you factor in salary, benefits, and overhead. With our model, you can reduce that cost by up to 70% while still getting a full-time sales development representative working directly inside your inbound queue, CRM, and scheduling tools.

Hiring locally
$5.5Kโ€“$7.5K/mo
Salary, benefits, and overhead factored in
Through us
from $2.5K/mo
Employment, contracts, and HR administration handled entirely on our side

The employment contract, payroll, and HR admin are ours, so your inbound coverage never depends on your HR bandwidth. And because the same person qualifies your leads month after month, they develop an ear for your best-fit buyers that no rotating agency seat ever builds. That is the compounding reason to hire a sales development representative through us.

Common Questions

How fast can a sales development representative start?
You interview matched candidates within one to two weeks, and most SDRs are working your live inbound queue within 30 days, after onboarding on your ICP and qualification criteria.
What experience level do they bring?
Typically 2 to 5+ years qualifying inbound leads for B2B companies, with strong track records on speed-to-lead, qualification accuracy, and meeting hold rates.
Will they call leads, or only email?
Both. Your SDR speaks native-level English, is vetted through live call role-plays, and phones inbound leads within minutes during your business hours, backed by email and LinkedIn touches.
Can they match my time zone?
Yes. When you hire a sales development representative through us, candidates are matched to the hours your leads come in, so speed-to-lead holds all day.
What tools do they know?
HubSpot, Salesforce, Chili Piper, Salesloft, Drift, Gong, and Apollo are common, plus AI tools for research and note-taking. We match reps to your existing stack.
How do you screen SDR candidates?
Structured skills testing, live qualification role-plays scored against a rubric, a written outreach exercise, and an AI fluency assessment, followed by interviews for energy, judgment, and coachability.
What is the difference between an SDR and a BDR here?
Our SDRs focus on inbound: fast response, qualification, and routing. BDRs do cold outbound prospecting. If your leads already arrive but go stale, an SDR is the right hire.
