Your SDR Costs 3x More
Than You Think.
An SDR earning $50K/year actually costs $75–95K after quota commission, benefits, manager oversight, and 35% annual turnover. And they work 40 hours/week. See the true cost of human vs. AI sales development.
Human SDRs Are Expensive and Fragile
The hidden costs of sales development go way beyond salary.
Salary is just the start: total SDR cost is $75–95K/year
Base salary ($45–55K) + commission/bonuses ($15–30K) + benefits ($12–18K) + payroll taxes + sales tools ($300/mo) + manager oversight time. A 'mid-level SDR' costs your organization $75–95K per year all-in.
35% turnover means you're always hiring
SDR turnover averages 35% annually. Each replacement costs $15–25K in recruiting, onboarding, and lost productivity during the 3–4 month ramp period. You're paying for the position twice every three years.
Ramp time: 3–4 months of sub-par performance
New SDRs take 3–4 months to reach full productivity. During ramp, they produce 30–50% of quota. With 35% annual turnover, your team is ALWAYS in ramp mode. You're paying full price for part-time results.
