Vendisys vs Hiring BDRs
Hiring BDRs is slow, expensive, and risky. Vendisys delivers fully managed GTM infrastructure at a fraction of the cost with results from week one.
The Real Cost of In-House BDRs
A single BDR costs $80,000 to $120,000 per year in salary, benefits, and overhead. They take 3 to 6 months to ramp. Turnover in SDR/BDR roles runs 30% to 40% annually. That means you're constantly rehiring and retraining.
Vendisys gives you the output of a full BDR team without the headcount, management overhead, or ramp time.
| Factor | Vendisys | In-House BDRs |
|---|---|---|
| Time to first meeting | 2 to 4 weeks | 3 to 6 months |
| Monthly cost | Fraction of BDR salary | $8,000 to $12,000+ per rep |
| Outreach channels | Email, LinkedIn, calendar | Typically email only |
| Data and tooling | Included | Separate cost |
| Turnover risk | None | High (30 to 40% annual) |
| Management overhead | Minimal | Significant |
When In-House BDRs Make Sense
In-house BDRs make sense when you have a proven outbound playbook, dedicated sales leadership to manage and coach them, and a high enough deal size to justify the overhead. For most growth-stage companies, Vendisys gets you there faster.
