$3,500/mo for your first rep. Everything included.
No hidden fees. No commissions. Each additional rep is $1,500/mo, and your total never passes the cap.
Recruiting, comp design, tools, training and day-to-day management. The whole system.
The system is already built; additional reps plug into it.
However large the team gets, the management fee never passes the cap.
$7,000 per hire: $3,500 when the search starts, $3,500 on the rep’s start date, which covers their first 30 days of management. Monthly management begins after that. Rep salary is paid by you, as their employer.

- Comp plan designed for your margins and your sale

How many reps?
Most clients start with one and add the second once the first is consistently booking.
What the rep costs you
Your rep is your employee, on your payroll. Set the base salary and the calculator shows the whole picture, not just our fee.
Commission on closed business is on top of the base, and it’s the good kind of cost. We write the comp plan with you before we recruit. Typical first-year OTE for a rep we place is $65–85K.
Cheaper than the sales manager you’d hire instead.
In-house sales manager
- $110K–$160K a year all-in, before their first hire
- Still needs recruiters at $10K–$20K per placement
- One bad hire costs $150K+ and a lost year
- Single point of failure: they leave, you restart
Icebreaker
- Capped at $84K a year for the whole team
- Recruiting included with every placement
- Underperforming rep? We find it in the daily numbers
- A system, not a person. Nothing walks out the door
And when you’re ready for full-time, in-house sales leadership, we recruit that person for you, hand over the playbook, and transition out. Growing past us is the plan, not a breakup.
Compare with SDR agencies and fractional marketplaces
| Option | Who employs the rep | Cost | What you keep if you stop | Who manages daily |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| SDR agency | The agency | $3K–$10K+/mo per seat | Nothing. Rep, data and process leave | The agency, for the agency |
| Fractional marketplace | A contractor | From $3,500/mo | Maybe the person, if you convert them | You |
| In-house sales manager | You | $110–160K/yr + recruiter fees | The rep; one manager who can walk | One person |
| Icebreaker | You (W-2) | $3,500/mo, capped at $7,000 | Rep, comp plan, CRM, playbook, dashboard | Icebreaker, with a handover plan |
Dated, so there are no surprises.
Not everyone needs a hire.
Most clients want the full thing: we recruit the rep and run them. Some already have people, or already have the system, or just need the search. Those are real engagements too, and they are priced plainly.
No upfront fee. Month to month.
You already have salespeople. What you do not have is a system around them, or anyone holding them to a number. We audit what you have, rebuild the sales process, and then run the weekly meeting, the one-on-ones and the call reviews the same way we would for a rep we placed.
$1,500 to start the search, $5,500 when they start.
We find the salesperson and hand them over. Salespeople only, never other roles, and exclusive searches only: we will not compete with three other recruiters on the same job. We stay on about two weeks after the start date to get them set up properly rather than dropping them at the door.
Usually one to six months.
A build, not a subscription. We sit with you and learn how you actually sell before recommending anything, then build it: pipeline stages that match your real process, the fields your business runs on, lead capture, automation and reporting. We keep refining until it is right rather than handing over a login and leaving.
