Struggling to Fill Your Sales Pipeline? Here’s the Smart Alternative!
If your phone’s silent, your calendar is empty, and your sales pipeline feels like a desert, you’re not alone. Many businesses find themselves in this exact situation. Meanwhile, competitors seem to be securing meetings left and right. So, what’s their secret? It’s strategic, consistent cold calling.
But let’s be real—who has the time to cold call day in and day out? If you’re not careful, you could miss out on valuable business opportunities while your competitors secure the leads you could have had.
Many businesses immediately turn to hiring an in-house Sales Development Representative (SDR) to fill their pipeline. But is this really the best solution? Let’s break down the true cost of an in-house SDR.
The True Cost of an In-House SDR
Here’s a breakdown of what hiring an in-house SDR typically looks like:
Average SDR Salary in Europe: €50,000/year
Taxes & Benefits: +30-40%
Office Space, Equipment, and Training: €10,000+
34% SDR Turnover Rate in the First Year
That’s an €80,000+ annual investment before an SDR even picks up the phone.
That’s a significant cost—especially when you factor in turnover and the constant need for training. Not to mention, hiring and onboarding an SDR takes time and effort, which could be better spent elsewhere in your business.
