By country
Each band is the Philippine baseline scaled by a stated country factor — the same arithmetic as our salary guides, so you can check it.
| Country | Factor | Monthly band |
|---|---|---|
| Philippines | ×1 | $900–$1,800 |
| Colombia | ×1.25 | $1,150–$2,250 |
| Mexico | ×1.3 | $1,150–$2,350 |
| South Africa | ×1.15 | $1,050–$2,050 |
| Argentina | ×1.1 | $1,000–$2,000 |
What drives the rate
Outbound prospecting, list building, sequence writing, qualifying inbound, and booking meetings for a closer. What separates a strong hire from an adequate one: Research before outreach. The difference between a good and average SDR is whether their first line proves they read something. AI-durability of the role: low — the most AI-exposed tier; hire for the judgment layer, not the volume work. High exposure on volume outreach; the durable part is research quality and live conversation.
