How do you choose the right SDR outsourcing company that will deliver the best results?
Where is the company based? Offshore companies are cheaper, but local providers are generally better suited for outreach to enterprise-level businesses where a high level of English is required.
For example, if you need personalized emails and calls made to prospects in the US for a high-ticket product/service, then outsourcing to an offshore company could backfire.
When assessing a company, find out how their SDRs are recruited. Will you be able to communicate with and assess them directly? Will you be able to listen to recordings of their calls to hear how they interact with your prospects? The difference between an SDR who’s just dialling it in and one that’s highly motivated will have a huge impact on your results.
Ensure your outsourced firm doesn’t operate in a black box. You want to understand the processes and messaging they are using, and if successful, be able to use those with your own in-house SDR team. You’ll want to develop or validate your SDR playbook with information gleaned from the outsourced team.
Outsourcing your SDR team isn’t a case of set it and forget
it. You can’t just hand the company a list and a few scripts
and then walk away. You need a strong relationship, where
they have a seat at the table.
There are three variables you have to manage when prospecting:
The marketplace, the message, and the messenger.
When you’re considering an outsourced SDR function, you have to choose a company that can help control those variables.
Traditionally, SDR performance is measured on how many meetings are booked. However, not all appointments are created equal. If your outsourced company is using hard-sell techniques on poor-fit prospects, you might get plenty of meetings… they just end up going nowhere.
