What does an offshore SDR actually do?

An offshore SDR builds and enriches your target list, runs multichannel sequences across email, LinkedIn and phone, handles replies and objections, qualifies interest against your criteria, and books meetings into your calendar - with every activity logged in your CRM.

A Val Growth SDR runs the whole top of your funnel, not a slice of it:

  • Builds the target universe - sourced and enriched in Clay, AI-assisted ICP matching, double-verified to a sub-1% bounce rate.
  • Runs multichannel sequences - email, LinkedIn and calling against the same prospect, on dedicated warmed infrastructure.
  • Handles replies and objections - in your voice, against your positioning, with supervisor review.
  • Qualifies before booking - every reply is checked against your criteria so your closers stay on live calls.
  • Keeps your CRM clean - activity, notes and pipeline stages logged as they go.

Is it cheaper to hire an SDR in-house?

No. A US in-house SDR costs $60K-$90K+ in salary before benefits and tools, takes 6-10 weeks to source and onboard, and turnover regularly exceeds 30% a year. Hiring offshore on your own fixes the cost but makes you the manager, trainer and QA layer.

Because both routes are broken. A local SDR costs $60K-$90K+ in salary before benefits and tools, takes 6-10 weeks to source and onboard, and SDR turnover regularly exceeds 30% a year - so you do it all again. Going offshore alone solves the cost but hands you a second job: you become the manager, the trainer and the QA layer, and one resignation stops your pipeline cold.

The pod model removes both problems. You get the cost profile of offshore with the accountability of a managed service - and you're backed by a bench, not dependent on one person.

What's included at $15/hr?

Everything except the hours themselves: operational supervision, weekly QA reviews, the full outbound stack - Clay workflows, double-verified B2B data and Smartlead/Instantly infrastructure - and free replacement from our bench. No setup fee, no tooling bill, no recruiting fee.

Operational supervision

Our operators manage output, review work weekly and coach your rep - so you never have to.

Weekly QA reviews

The outbound stack

Free replacement

Underperformance or resignation? We swap from our bench and absorb the retraining. No downtime.

How much does an offshore SDR cost per month?

$15 per hour, all-in. Most SDR functions need only 50-70 hours of actual work per month, so a Val Growth SDR typically costs $750-1,050 per month - against roughly $7,500 fully loaded for a US in-house SDR, or $1,500-2,500 for a fixed-retainer agency.
