How much does a Latin American sales development rep cost?

We place them at $1,800 to $2,500 a month, and most clients add commission. The equivalent United States hire averages about $65,000 a year in base pay before employer taxes.

Should I pay a nearshore sales rep commission?

Usually yes. It aligns the incentive the same way it would locally, and it is what strong candidates in this market expect. Decide early whether it pays on meetings held or on closed revenue, because that choice changes who applies.

Will prospects notice they are not in the United States?

Some will, and it matters far less than most founders expect. What actually loses calls is a rep who is hard to follow or clearly reading a script. Screen for clarity and listening on a live call and this stops being the issue.

Can they work our customer relationship manager and dialer?

Yes. Salesforce, HubSpot, Pipedrive, Close and the usual dialers all come up regularly in our pipeline. Name yours in the brief and we screen for it directly.

How to screen a sales hire

1
Make them sell you something on the call
Ask a candidate to pitch their last product for two minutes, then push back hard. You learn more in that exchange than in the rest of the interview.
2
Accent matters less than clarity
Prospects hang up on people who are hard to follow, not on people with an accent. Screen for pace, clarity and listening.
3
Ask for their numbers, then ask how they got them
Dials, connects, meetings booked, meetings held. Someone who knows their own conversion rates has been measured before and will survive being measured by you.
4
Decide the commission structure up front
Most sales placements carry commission on top of the rate. Decide what it pays on, meetings held or closed revenue, before the first interview.

How hiring a sales development rep works here

Full breakdown on how it works.

1
One 15-minute call
You describe the role, the hours you need covered and the tools. We tell you honestly whether nearshore fits it.
2
Vetted shortlist in 2-4 weeks
Skills, spoken English and background checked before anyone reaches you. You run the interviews.
3
One agreement, and they start
You sign one Master Services Agreement with us. We engage and pay the professional; they work as part of your team, month to month.

Plan for about a two-week ramp once they start, and own that part: training, context, clear expectations and system access. We stay involved after the placement, so if something goes wrong on either side we mediate rather than leaving you to it.
