Hire bilingual SDRs and inside sales talent in Latin America
An SDR seat in the US costs six figures fully loaded and turns over in under two years. LATAM offers bilingual outbound talent that dials US hours at a third of that cost, provided you hire for resilience and coachability, not for a resume with a familiar logo on it.
