Outsourced SDR Services, in Short
Switchstack's outsourced SDR services give you a dedicated sales development rep who phones your target accounts, finds the people who decide, checks that they fit and books meetings for your account executives. Your SDR only makes calls: no email sequences or LinkedIn outreach. With We Call for You, we recruit, test and manage the SDR for $2,199 to $3,099 a month; with Hire a Caller, the SDR joins your team and reports to you for $1,499 to $2,399. The price depends on the country your SDR works from. There's no setup fee and no charge per meeting, it's month-to-month, and calls start in about 2 weeks.
What Does an Outsourced SDR Do?
An outsourced SDR does the first part of selling: finding the right people at the right companies and getting them into a meeting with your salespeople. Ours do it by phone.
Your SDR does
- Calls the accounts and job titles you choose, during their business hours
- Gets past the front desk and reaches the person who decides
- Asks your qualifying questions: fit, timing and who else is involved
- Books meetings straight onto your account executives' calendars
- Writes a note on every conversation, and every call is recorded
- Calls back no-answers and follow-ups on the schedule you agree on
Your SDR doesn't
- Send email sequences or LinkedIn messages
- Run demos or close deals: that stays with your sales team
- Buy lists for you: your SDR works the list you give us
- Get paid per meeting, so there's no reason to book meetings that don't fit

Outsourced SDR vs In-House SDR: Which Costs Less?
An in-house SDR costs their salary plus what employers pay on top, before commission, recruiting, equipment and the time someone spends managing them. Here's that cost per month in three markets, from public salary data:
| In-house SDR in | Average base salary | Employer costs on top | About per month |
|---|---|---|---|
| United States | $52,866 a year | Benefits of about 43 cents per dollar of wages (BLS) | About $6,290 |
| United Kingdom | £30,002 a year | 15% employer National Insurance above £5,000, plus at least 3% pension (GOV.UK) | About £2,870 ($3,850) |
| Australia | A$60,412 a year | 12% superannuation (ATO) | About A$5,640 ($3,960) |
| Outsourced SDR (Switchstack) | One monthly fee. No benefits, payroll or recruiting on your side. | $1,499 to $3,099 | |
Money isn't the only difference. An in-house SDR gives you full control and keeps what they learn inside your company, but you recruit, train and coach them.

Where Does Your Outsourced SDR Work From?
Your SDR works your prospects' business hours from one of four countries, and we pick the country to fit your market:
- South Africa: the UK, Ireland and Europe on a normal day shift. Many callers speak English as a first language.
- Latin America: the US and Canada on the same hours as your team, in English and Spanish.
- Philippines: the US on a night shift, and Australia and Singapore on a day shift, from the largest pool of experienced callers.
- India: our lowest price, for the Gulf on a day shift and the UK in the afternoon.
Still choosing? Our country matcher recommends one in four questions, and our cold calling services page covers every market we call into.
How Do Outsourced SDR Services Start?
In four steps, and your SDR is usually calling in about 2 weeks:
- A 30-minute call. Your offer, the accounts you want, the job titles and what a good meeting looks like.
- We test SDRs on your offer. Candidates do role-play calls using your pitch. You hear the recordings and approve one.
- Script, list and rules. We write the script with you and check your list against the calling rules in each market.
- Calls start. In about 2 weeks. With We Call for You, we manage your SDR every day and send a weekly report.
Who Uses Outsourced SDRs?
B2B companies whose buyers take a phone call, and whose sales team would rather spend its time in meetings than finding them:
- SaaS and software companies booking demos with the teams their product is built for.
- MSPs and IT companies booking meetings with small and mid-sized businesses nearby.
- Staffing and recruitment agencies reaching hiring managers with open roles.
- Logistics and freight companies finding shippers with freight on their lanes.
