What are companies like Google, IBM, and RingCentral doing in South Africa?

If you’re hiring SDRs or salespeople in 2025 listen up.

Some of the world‘s biggest tech companies are outsourcing their cold calling and SDR teams to South Africa and it’s not hard to see why.

Over 5 million people speak NATIVE English in the country and thousands of reps with experience selling in industries like tech, finance, marketing, and many others.

Average base salaries start at around $700/month with lots of reps making
$2,000-$3,000 monthly.

Compare that to the average US base salary of $5,000 per month and successful reps making $6,000-$10,000.

Now look, there are definitely times when you need someone from the US to hit the phones.

Not going to deny that.

But this isn’t an “either-or” game.

You can have people with perfect English hitting the phones, generating leads for your US salespeople.

Ask any sales leader...

Almost all of them want more leads for their salespeople to.. ya know… sell to.
