Service
An outsourced SDR function, live in two weeks instead of six months
A dedicated Australian SDR who owns prospecting, calling, follow up and meeting booking, supported by list build, messaging, QA and reporting. Delivered from our Sydney office into markets across Australia, New Zealand, Singapore and the United Kingdom.
ACV of $5,000 plus is ideal.
What is an outsourced SDR? An outsourced SDR is a sales development representative provided by an external agency rather than hired in-house. They handle cold calling, email outreach and LinkedIn prospecting to book qualified meetings on your behalf, without the cost and time of recruiting and training internally.
Compare
Versus hiring in house
This is the comparison most founders make in their head and rarely on paper. Here it is on paper, using our own cost modelling.
| In-house SDR | Nousu | |
|---|---|---|
| Year one fully loaded cost | $173,000 | From $84,000 |
| Time to first meeting | 4 to 6 months | Under 2 weeks |
| Year one meeting yield | Approx. 95 | Approx. 165 |
| Cost per meeting, year one | Approx. $1,820 | Approx. $515 |
| Recruitment risk | Yours, including a bad hire | None |
| Management and coaching | Yours to build and run | Included |
| Dialler, data and tooling | Separate line item, approx. $12,000 | Included |
| If it is not working | Performance management, then redundancy | Change the approach, or leave with 30 days notice |
The $173,000 is not a scare number. It is base salary at $75,000, plus superannuation, tooling, 0.2 FTE of management time, office and equipment, three months of ramp paid before any output, recruitment, and annualised churn cost against a 14 month average tenure. Full itemisation is in our benchmark report.
Where hiring in house is still the right call
- Your product is genuinely technical and objection handling needs deep product knowledge
- You are building a sales bench and want AEs promoted from within
- You want the function in house for cultural reasons, which is a legitimate reason on its own
We will tell you when that is your situation. It is a shorter conversation than pitching you a retainer you should not buy.
Pricing
What this costs
Engagements start at $7,000 per month AUD, covering a dedicated in-house Sydney SDR, ICP definition and list build, cold calling, email and LinkedIn, appointment setting into your calendar, messaging and A/B testing, weekly reporting and optimisation calls, and CRM-ready handover of every booked meeting.
All pricing excludes GST. Engagements are month to month with no lock-in, and clients committing to six months or longer receive a discount off the monthly retainer. KPIs are agreed before launch, so you know what good looks like before you spend anything.
We do not sell guaranteed meeting volume packages. Anyone who guarantees volume is either padding the definition of a meeting or pricing in the failure.

Why it works
Why outsourced SDR works
Outsourced SDR works because it gives companies structured outbound execution without the cost, ramp time, and management overhead of building an internal SDR team from scratch. Instead of hiring, onboarding, training, and monitoring junior sales development staff, businesses can plug into an operating model that is already built for targeting, outreach, qualification, follow up, and reporting. This is especially useful for teams that need more pipeline but do not want senior closers pulled into prospecting or outbound admin. A good outsourced SDR setup also creates more consistency across messaging, activity, handoff quality, and weekly optimisation. Rather than relying on inconsistent bursts of outreach, it gives the business a repeatable prospecting engine with clear accountability. It works particularly well for B2B teams with a defined offer, a clear ICP, and a need for qualified meetings rather than raw lead volume. For companies that want outbound to become a dependable revenue channel without building a full SDR function internally, outsourced SDR can be one of the most efficient ways to scale pipeline creation.
