SDRs and appointment setters
Hire Remote Sales Development Reps and Appointment Setters
Remote sales development reps keep your pipeline full so your closers can focus on closing. GV Staffing recruits SDRs and appointment setters in Pakistan, tests them on real prospecting work, from cold calls to cold emails, and shortlists candidates with the resilience and communication your market demands.
One-time placement fee per successful hire, as set out in your recruitment agreement.
Your Closers Shouldn’t Be Prospecting
In many growing companies, the same people who run demos and negotiate deals are also expected to find the next prospects. Prospecting gets done in bursts between calls, follow-ups are inconsistent and the pipeline swings from busy to empty.
Sales development fixes that by giving outbound and lead follow-up a dedicated owner. A good SDR works the list every day, follows up persistently, qualifies honestly and hands closers meetings worth taking. Agencies use appointment setters the same way: to keep discovery calls on the calendar while account teams deliver for clients.
The challenge is finding people who can handle rejection, write and speak convincingly to your buyers, and keep a CRM clean. That’s what our screening focuses on.
Common reasons clients hire SDRs
- Founders are still doing all the prospecting
- Inbound leads wait too long for a reply
- Follow-up sequences stop after one touch
- The pipeline is unpredictable month to month

Skills and Tools for Remote SDRs
The best SDRs combine discipline with curiosity. They show up to the same repetitive work every day, but they also research prospects properly and adapt their message. We look for confident spoken English, persuasive short-form writing and a track record in outbound or appointment-setting roles.
Where your role targets a particular market, such as agencies, SaaS or home services, we prioritize candidates who have sold into similar buyers.

- HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive or GoHighLevel

- Outreach, Salesloft, Lemlist or Instantly sequences
- Dialers such as Aircall or JustCall
- Confident, natural spoken English
- Short, personalized cold emails
- Objection handling and resilience

How We Recruit Remote Sales Development Reps
-
Step 1: Define your ideal customer and motion
We agree who the SDR will target, which channels they’ll use, how leads are qualified and what a booked meeting should look like.
-
Step 2: Brief and recruitment agreement
We capture hours, tools, experience level and expectations in a role brief, then sign the recruitment agreement.
-
Step 3: Mock cold call
Candidates run a short role-play call with a skeptical prospect, so we can hear their opener, tone, listening and how they handle a brush-off.
-
Step 4: Written outreach and objection test
Candidates write a personalized cold email for a sample prospect and respond in writing to common objections in your market.
-
Step 5: Shortlist, interviews and selection
You receive a shortlist with call and writing notes, interview the strongest candidates and choose who to hire.
Every role follows the same core steps described in how it works, tailored to sales roles.
Fees for SDR and appointment setter hires: GV Staffing charges a one-time placement fee per successful hire, not a commission on meetings or deals. The amount, payment trigger and any replacement terms are agreed in your recruitment agreement. Your rep’s base pay and any commission or bonus plan are agreed directly between you and them.
Why Hire SDRs and Appointment Setters From Pakistan
Pakistan has a large community of sales and contact-center professionals who have spent years speaking with US, UK and Australian customers. Many are comfortable with outbound calling, international accents and Western business norms, and have worked inside modern sales stacks.
Prospecting works best when your rep is calling while buyers are at their desks. Pakistan’s working day overlaps the UK business day, and many SDRs are used to working US hours, so calls and emails land at the right time. We confirm shift availability for every candidate.
A note on compliance: rules on cold calling, texting and emailing differ by country. Your outreach should follow the laws in the markets you target, so confirm your approach with a qualified adviser.
If you mainly need researched, verified prospect lists rather than conversations, our lead generation staffing page explains that role. For keeping existing customers happy, see remote customer support staffing.
What is the difference between an SDR and an appointment setter?
An SDR usually owns a broader outbound process, including research, multi-channel sequences and qualification. An appointment setter focuses mainly on getting qualified prospects booked onto a closer’s calendar. In practice the roles overlap, and we define the scope in your brief.
Can remote SDRs in Pakistan cold call US prospects?
Yes. Many sales professionals in Pakistan have called US prospects for years and work US business hours. We assess spoken English and call handling with a mock call before shortlisting, so you can judge how candidates will sound to your buyers.
Do you set the commission plan for my SDR?
No. Pay, commission and bonus structure are agreed directly between you and your hire. We can share how candidates describe their expectations during screening, so you can design a plan that motivates the right behavior.
How do you test sales development reps?
Every candidate does a mock cold call with a skeptical prospect, writes a personalized cold email and responds to common objections. We also check CRM habits and look for evidence of consistent activity in previous outbound roles.
Who provides the leads and tools?
You do. Your SDR works inside your CRM, sequencing and data tools, using your target lists or building them with the resources you provide. If you need a dedicated list builder as well, consider adding a lead generation specialist.
What does it cost to hire a remote SDR?
GV Staffing charges a one-time placement fee per successful hire, defined in your recruitment agreement. We don’t take a cut of meetings or deals. Your SDR’s pay and commission are agreed directly between you and them.
