A verified network from day one, not a hire you have to ramp.
An in-house SDR costs €60k+/year and takes months to become productive, starting from a cold list. MezAgent gives you a pre-verified 400+ professional network plus outbound running from day one - plans from €299/month, no minimum term.

Breaking it down
Cost
An SDR salary alone starts around €60k+/year before recruiting fees, benefits, a laptop/CRM stack, and management overhead. MezAgent plans start from €299/month, with unlimited introductions from the verified professional network. Solutions (LinkedIn + email outreach) is available in the same account, not a separate line item.
Speed
Hiring an SDR realistically takes weeks to source and interview, then another one to three months before they're fully productive - most of that ramp time is spent learning your product and building a prospect list from zero. A MezAgent membership goes live against a pre-verified 400+ professional network immediately; most businesses see their first introductions within days.
Network quality
An SDR starts cold - building lists, guessing at who's actually relevant, and burning early weeks on outreach that doesn't land. MezAgent's professional network is already curated for exactly this: 400+ manually verified wealth managers, immigration lawyers, tax advisers, and real estate specialists across five verticals, so every introduction starts from an existing relationship, not a cold list.
What happens if it's not working
An underperforming SDR still costs recruiting fees, a notice period, and months of sunk ramp time to unwind. With MezAgent there's nothing to unwind: there is no minimum term, so you simply cancel any time, with no hiring risk or severance, and the network keeps working while you evaluate results.
MezAgent tends to fit better when...
- You want qualified introductions without building a prospecting function from scratch
- Your ideal clients are the kind professionals already work with - wealth, legal, tax, immigration, real estate, or luxury & lifestyle
- You want outbound (LinkedIn + email) running in parallel without a separate hire or agency retainer
- Budget or timeline doesn't support a €60k+/year hire and months of ramp
An SDR still makes sense when...
- You need someone running live discovery calls and demos, not just introductions
- You're building pipeline outside MezAgent's five verticals
- You already have the management bandwidth and sales infrastructure to ramp a hire properly
- You want a full-time resource who can flex into other go-to-market work over time
