The four costs on top of salary
Ask any floor manager what a seat costs and you get a monthly salary. Ask what it costs to keep that seat filled for a year and the number changes.
- Recruitment, repeated every time somebody leaves in month three
- Ramp: a month of supervised calls before the numbers look like anybody else's
- Absence, which on a night shift running US hours is not a rounding error
- The last two hours of a shift, when transfer rates fall and the script gets shorter
What does not change
Your closers, your carrier and your dialer cost the same either way. That is why the comparison worth running is narrow: what does it cost to put a qualified caller in front of a closer, and how many of those can you produce per shift?
Where bots sit in that number
A fronter bot is $40 and a verifier $50 per bot per month, with unlimited calls and a minimum order of 15, and it dials through the dialer and carrier you already pay for. Nothing is metered, so a busy month costs what a quiet one costs. The 7-day free trial is how most floors find out whether it beats a seat on their own list.
