Published 2026 cost ranges
Public provider guides place offshore or basic staffing models near the lower end, nearshore and managed representatives in the middle, and domestic multichannel teams or pods toward the upper end. These are provider-published examples rather than an audited market average.
| Model | Indicative monthly band | Often includes | Check carefully |
|---|---|---|---|
| Offshore staffing | $1,500–$3,500 | Rep capacity | Management, data and channel quality |
| Nearshore managed SDR | $2,500–$6,000 | Rep plus some management | Tools and replacement terms |
| Domestic managed SDR | $4,000–$8,000 | Experienced rep and process | Channel and research depth |
| Full SDR pod | $8,000–$12,000+ | Management and specialists | Minimum term and asset ownership |
Build the fully loaded monthly SDR number
Add every layer; do not compare a salary with an all-inclusive provider fee.
Setup allocation, base fee, per-meeting fees, minimums and currency effects.
CRM, contact data, dialer, sending domains, LinkedIn and reporting systems.
Strategy, training, reviews, sales follow-up and time spent correcting work.
Fully loaded cost per accepted opportunity = all three layers ÷ opportunities accepted by sales in the same period.
What drives outsourced SDR pricing
- Rep location, experience and language
- Dedicated versus shared capacity
- Phone, email and LinkedIn scope
- Data and sending infrastructure
- Research and personalization
- Manager and strategist involvement
- CRM administration and reporting
- Ramp, replacement and contract terms
Calculate fully loaded outsourced cost
Add setup, retainer, performance fees, tools, data, client management time, sales enablement and ramp. Divide by qualified held meetings and accepted opportunities over a meaningful period.
Compare the same scope against in-house hiring, including recruiter cost, employment burden, management, software, ramp and turnover.
When a cheaper SDR costs more
Low-cost capacity is uneconomic if the client must rewrite every message, rebuild every list or supervise basic execution. Equally, premium teams are wasteful when the offer cannot support their scope.
The right unit is cost for usable sales-development capability, not cost for a person-shaped line item.
A fair comparison with Beespoke
Beespoke’s $1,500 monthly and $1,000-plus-$100-per-held-meeting plans are focused managed LinkedIn services, not outsourced full-time SDR employment.
Buyers needing narrow founder-led execution may prefer that scope. Buyers needing daily multichannel capacity should budget for a different operating model.
How to verify founder-led involvement
- Ask who attends the strategy and weekly review calls.
- Ask who writes and approves targeting and messages.
- Ask who reads replies and decides what changes.
- Ask what happens when the campaign contradicts the original hypothesis.
“Founder-led” is meaningful only when senior judgment remains connected to execution and evidence after the sale.
