Where In house team may be the better fit
Outbound is a permanent core competency and you want it owned internally forever.
You already have a sales development leader who has built and managed a team that worked.
Your product needs deep technical knowledge that takes longer to learn than an engagement lasts.
You can absorb four to six weeks of hiring plus three months of ramp before judging results.
Where BizDev Labs fits
You need pipeline this quarter, not after a hiring cycle.
You have tried in house once and the jack of all trades model did not work.
You want to prove the motion works before you commit to salaries and severance.
You want a documented playbook you could hand to internal hires later. Roughly a third of our clients do exactly that.
This is the most common path we see and the one we design for. We run it, prove it, document it, then recruit and hand over to your in-house sellers at milestone 4+.

Questions before you decide
More on the comparison
One SDR is not one cost. It is base salary, on target commission, benefits and taxes, a manager, a tool stack, and four to six weeks of hiring before anyone dials. Industry figures put an SDR's on target earnings around $63k, employer benefit costs above 30% of base, and a manager around $120k fully loaded.
Then there is the part nobody budgets. Your first hire spends three months finding out which angle works, and if they leave, that knowledge leaves with them. We arrive with the answer to that question already tested across 250 companies.
