In short
What is an outsourced sales team for US businesses?
An outsourced sales team is a group of sales development representatives who work on your campaign but are recruited, trained and managed by a partner. For a US company, it means outbound calling, lead qualification and appointment setting without adding headcount, payroll or a sales manager's time. Your team receives qualified conversations and booked meetings; Scion runs the activity behind them.
Scion is a South African company. That gives US businesses two practical advantages: a South African cost base, and a working day that overlaps with the US East Coast morning. You get a dedicated team, weekly reporting and one monthly price in US dollars, with the scope confirmed in a written proposal before anything starts.
Why South Africa
Why US companies outsource sales to South Africa
Outsourcing outbound sales is common in the US. Where the team sits changes the cost, the hours and the conversation quality.
A South African cost base
Managed sales packages start from $1,390 per month in USD, including recruitment, training, management and reporting. For many US businesses that is a practical way to test or scale outbound without the fixed cost of a US hire.
Overlap with the US business day
South Africa (SAST, UTC+2) is six hours ahead of US Eastern Time for most of the year and seven hours ahead during US standard time. A South African afternoon lines up with the East Coast morning, when many decision-makers are at their desks.
Clear English conversations
Calls are in English. Representatives are trained on your offer, your buyers and your objections before campaigns start, and calls are monitored and coached so conversations stay professional and on message.
Managed, not just staffed
You are not hiring freelancers. Scion recruits, trains and manages the team, runs the campaign and reports weekly, so you are not left supervising reps across a time difference.
Calling hours
How calling hours work across US time zones
East Coast (ET)
Mornings in New York, Boston or Atlanta fall in the South African afternoon, which makes the East Coast the most natural starting market for a South African team.
Central and Mountain (CT, MT)
Central and Mountain time zones open one and two hours after the East Coast, so they overlap with the end of the South African working day.
West Coast (PT)
Pacific time is nine or ten hours behind South Africa, so reaching West Coast buyers needs later calling hours. We agree calling windows for each campaign during scoping, so the plan reflects where your buyers actually are.
Doing it properly
Calling US businesses: the rules to plan around
US telemarketing rules mainly protect consumers, but B2B campaigns still need to be set up carefully. This is a general overview, not legal advice.
Do Not Call Registry
The National Do Not Call Registry mainly covers consumer numbers. Business-to-business calls are largely outside its scope, but many B2B contacts use personal mobile numbers, so data sources and lists are agreed with you before launch.
TCPA and mobile numbers
The Telephone Consumer Protection Act restricts autodialled and prerecorded calls to mobile phones. Campaign setup, calling method and data sources are confirmed during onboarding so the approach fits your risk appetite.
State rules
Some states add their own telemarketing requirements. If you sell into specific states, tell us during scoping and we plan the campaign around them, with your legal team where needed.

FAQ
Questions US companies ask
Can your team call during US business hours?
Yes. The South African afternoon overlaps with the US East Coast morning, and calling windows for other US time zones are agreed during scoping so the campaign reaches buyers when they are at work.
How much does an outsourced sales team cost for a US company?
Managed sales packages start from $1,390 per month in US dollars for one dedicated representative, with larger teams on the Sales Growth and Sales Scale packages. Campaign setup is a once-off fee from $415. Applicable taxes are additional, and the final scope is confirmed in a written proposal.
Are the representatives dedicated to my business?
Yes. Each package includes dedicated representatives (one on Sales Launch, two on Sales Growth and up to five on Sales Scale) who work on your campaign, managed by Scion.
Is it legal to call US businesses from South Africa?
B2B outbound calling into the US is common, but campaigns must be planned around the Do Not Call Registry, the TCPA and any state rules that apply to your market. We agree data sources and calling methods with you before launch. This is general information, not legal advice.
Do you use our CRM?
We can work in your existing CRM, such as HubSpot or Salesforce, if you give us access, which keeps your pipeline and data in one place. If you don’t have a suitable CRM, we’ll recommend an option.
Do you guarantee meetings or sales?
No. Results depend on your offer, pricing, market and data, which no honest provider can guarantee. We commit to agreed activity, a disciplined process and transparent weekly reporting.
How do US clients pay?
Pricing is in US dollars. Payment arrangements for US clients are set out in your proposal before the campaign starts.
