Fractional BDR Services
Your Outbound Secret Weapon
Think of me as your outbound secret weapon. I show up, I prospect, I book meetings, and your sales team closes deals. No hiring headaches, no six month ramp, just results. Fully embedded in your team, using your CRM, operating under your brand.
8 to 15 qualified meetings/month • 10+ B2B companies scaled • From $3K/month
What Is a Fractional BDR, Exactly?
A fractional BDR (Business Development Representative) is a dedicated outbound prospecting specialist who works with your company part time. I run cold outreach, generate qualified meetings, and feed your sales pipeline without the cost of a full time hire. Think of it as renting an elite outbound machine instead of building one from scratch.
Unlike outsourced outbound agencies (where shared reps blast generic templates for a dozen clients), a fractional BDR operates as a true team member: using your CRM, learning your product deeply, personalizing your outreach, and coordinating directly with your AEs and marketing team. The difference in quality is night and day.
Most B2B companies need outbound pipeline but can't yet justify an $80K to $120K full time BDR salary. The fractional model gives you dedicated, expert outbound execution for $3K to $6K per month, and you can scale up or down as your pipeline needs change. It's outbound on your terms.
What Your Fractional BDR Does Every Week
Target Account Research
I identify and qualify target accounts using your ICP criteria, then dig into company news, funding events, hiring signals, and buying triggers that make prospects likely to engage. No spray and pray here.
Multi Channel Outbound
I run personalized outreach sequences across email, LinkedIn, and phone. Not generic blasts. Researched, relevant messaging that gets replies from the decision makers you actually want to talk to.
Meeting Booking & Handoff
I book qualified discovery calls and hand off warm, context rich leads to your AEs. Every meeting comes with prospect research so your closers walk in prepared and ready to win.
CRM Pipeline Management
I log all activity in HubSpot or Salesforce, keep your pipeline clean and up to date so you always have accurate visibility into outbound performance. No messy data, no guesswork.
Sequence Testing & Optimization
I continuously test subject lines, messaging angles, calls to action, and timing. Real response data drives every optimization. Open rates, reply rates, and meeting bookings all trend up over time.
Weekly Reporting
Clear weekly reports on activity, meetings booked, pipeline generated, and what is working. No vanity metrics, no fluff. Just the numbers that predict revenue and help you make smarter decisions.
When outbound works, everybody wins. Your AEs get meetings, your pipeline grows, and revenue follows.

Who Should Hire a Fractional BDR?
Founders Doing Their Own Outbound
If you are the CEO running outbound yourself between product calls and investor meetings, you are leaving pipeline on the table. A fractional BDR takes over outbound execution so you can focus on running the business. You know, the thing you're actually supposed to be doing.
Companies That Tried Agencies and Got Burned
Generic template emails from shared reps who do not know your product are a waste of budget. Been there, seen that. A fractional BDR learns your product, your ICP, and your value prop inside and out. Outreach quality reflects that, and so do the response rates.
Teams Ready to Scale Outbound Without Full Time Overhead
You have a few AEs but nobody running systematic outbound. A fractional BDR fills that gap, generating qualified meetings for your closers without adding a $100K+ salary to your burn rate. It's the smart way to scale.
Companies Building Their First Outbound Playbook
Before hiring a full time BDR team, you need to know what messaging works, which channels convert, and what your pipeline metrics look like. A fractional BDR answers those questions with real data, not theories from a strategy deck.

Fractional BDR FAQs
What is a fractional BDR?
A fractional BDR (Business Development Representative) is your dedicated outbound prospecting specialist who works with your company part time. I run prospecting campaigns, cold outreach, and meeting generation on your behalf. Unlike an outsourced agency where you share reps with who knows how many other companies, a fractional BDR is integrated into your team, using your CRM and tools, operating under your brand, and accountable to your pipeline targets. All the benefits of a full time hire at a fraction of the cost.
What is the difference between a fractional BDR and an SDR?
BDR and SDR are often used interchangeably, and honestly the lines are blurry. But generally, BDRs focus on outbound prospecting to new accounts while SDRs may also handle inbound leads. A fractional BDR focuses specifically on generating new outbound pipeline: identifying target accounts, running cold outreach sequences, booking discovery calls, and handing off qualified opportunities to your account executives or closing team. Outbound is the name of the game.
How many meetings can a fractional BDR book per month?
With a proven system and a well defined ICP, a fractional BDR operating 15 to 20 hours per week should generate 8 to 15 qualified meetings per month. The exact number depends on your market, deal size, ICP definition, and outreach channels. Enterprise markets with long sales cycles tend toward fewer but higher value meetings. SMB or mid market outbound can yield significantly more volume. Either way, we track everything so you always know the numbers.
How is a fractional BDR different from an outbound agency?
This is a great question because the difference is massive. Outbound agencies typically use shared reps sending templated sequences for multiple clients at once. A fractional BDR is dedicated to your company, learning your product deeply, personalizing outreach, using your CRM, and operating as a real team member. I attend your standups, communicate with your AEs, and iterate on messaging based on direct feedback. The result? Significantly better quality and conversion than the agency model. It's not even close.
What tools does a fractional BDR use?
I typically work with your existing tools or help select the right stack. Common tools include HubSpot or Salesforce for CRM, Apollo or ZoomInfo for prospecting and data, Instantly or Outreach for email sequences, LinkedIn Sales Navigator for social prospecting, and Clay for data enrichment and personalization. If you do not have these in place, I help set them up as part of the engagement. No extra charge for the tech strategy.
How long does a fractional BDR engagement last?
Most fractional BDR engagements run 3 to 12 months. The first 30 days focus on setup and launch. By month 2, outbound is fully operational and meetings are flowing. Many clients extend as they see pipeline results stack up. When the time is right, I help hire, train, and transition to a full time internal BDR, with all systems and playbooks documented so nothing gets lost in the handoff.
