You\u2019re able to instill your company\u2019s culture and vision into them more easily as they\u2019re more immersed within your operations and team.<br \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><u>Teamwork<\/u><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you\u2019re hiring an SDR to work in-house, you\u2019re not just getting leads, you\u2019re getting an extra pair of hands on the team. This means you\u2019re able to cross-train them to perform tasks outside their job role and cover for other people during busy periods or when people are out-of-office.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There\u2019s also greater potential for real-time collaboration and communication across departments within the company are easier to facilitate.<br \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><u>Nurturing Talent<\/u><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finally, inhouse SDRs can be nurtured to grow within the company and promoted internally so they are able to take sales calls and lead teams. If your business is in a small market, it can also be useful for inhouse sales people to build long-term relationships with your market by attending industry events and conferences.<br \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><b>Why Hire an Agency?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><u>Cost-Effectiveness<\/u><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The first benefit of working with an agency is that it is far less expensive than hiring. The payment schedule is usually a fixed retainer, or with Inboxxia, pay-per-meeting so you only actually pay for results.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When hiring you have to pay for:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The hiring process<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The base salary<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Any bonuses<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Holiday pay<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sick pay<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Training<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Management<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Software &amp; Hardware<br \/><br \/><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><u>Speed of Delivery<\/u><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you need to fill your pipeline quickly, working with an agency is the most effective way to do this.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It takes roughly 3 months to get an SDR up and running at full volume (and that\u2019s without the hiring process and assuming you made a good hire that passes probation).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It takes Inboxxia under 2 weeks to generate leads.<br \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><u>Expertise<\/u><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An SDR is a fairly junior role, and often when businesses hire them they have a lot to learn. SDRs need to learn how to prospect, manage data, write copy, manage CRMs, follow-up, work with tech.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Agencies like Inboxxia already have systems in place and a specialised team that includes campaign writers, response\/lead nurture experts, list builders, operations managers and data specialists, providing a comprehensive approach to lead generation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At Inboxxia we\u2019ve also run hundreds of campaigns, sent millions of outreach messages and generated thousands of leads, so we know what works.<br \/><br \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><u>Flexibility and risk reduction<\/u><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you hire an SDR you need to pay them whether you\u2019re filling your pipeline or not. And if you enter a busy period where you don\u2019t need any more leads, you still have to pay them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Agencies like Inboxxia are much more flexible and less risky. You only pay for meetings that you have and you can pause and restart outreach whenever you want.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This gives you the ultimate flexibility and peace of mind that you don\u2019t have an overhead that is bringing you no return.<br \/><br \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><b>Summary<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In summary, the choice between hiring in-house SDRs or partnering with an agency depends on your specific business needs and goals.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you&#8217;re looking to build a team, nurture talent over the long term, and maintain a high level of control when managing people, then hiring SDRs might be the best solution for you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you&#8217;re seeking quicker growth in a more cost-effective and less risky manner, then hiring an agency could be the best solution for your business.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you believe an agency is the right fit for your business, don&#8217;t hesitate to connect with us.
