Nearshore SDR teams that actually hit quota

Most offshore pilots fail for the same three reasons. Here is the operating model we use to avoid them.
Most companies do not have a nearshore problem. They have an operating-model problem that nearshore hiring makes visible.
1. Hire against a scorecard, not a resume
Before a single candidate is sourced, we define the outcomes the role owns in its first 90 days: dials, conversations, meetings held, and the qualification bar. Every candidate is scored against that bar in a live simulation, not just an interview.
2. Onboard into your systems, not around them
A rep who cannot navigate your CRM, sequencer, and dialer on day one is a rep you are paying to guess. We map your workflow, build the ramp plan, and certify each hire inside your tooling before they touch a live list.
3. Manage daily, not quarterly
Every team has a dedicated manager running daily standups, call reviews, and weekly coaching sessions. Performance is visible to you in the same dashboard your domestic team uses.
The result
When those three things are true, nearshore stops being an experiment and starts being the most cost-efficient seat on your revenue team.
