Cydcor serves clients in a wide range of industries, including but not limited to telecom, energy, business services, and consumer sectors. For each client, Cydcor designs campaigns around various channels – residential, retail, B2B, and events – to reach their target customers.
Cydcor manages sales campaigns across the U.S. and Canada. One of Cydcor's core strengths is geographic reach — the network of independently owned and operated sales companies spans metropolitan, suburban, and rural markets, enabling clients to scale quickly into new territories.
Cydcor’s leadership team comprises industry experts and entrepreneurs, including President and CEO Vera Quinn and Executive Chairman Gary Polson.
Cydcor manages the client relationship, campaign design, compliance oversight, and performance monitoring. Independently owned sales companies are responsible for recruiting and training their sales representatives as well as the day-to-day field execution, bringing localized market knowledge and entrepreneurial drive to every campaign.
Field sales representatives meet customers face-to-face at their homes, in retail environments, at their businesses, and at events after receiving training on your product and brand guidelines from the independently owned sales companies in Cydcor’s network . They have personalized, real conversations that build trust and drive conversions in ways digital channels often can't replicate.
Cydcor is known for being agile. Most campaigns launch within a few weeks to just a few months because the sales network and compliance infrastructure already exist. Simple products with straightforward offers launch faster, while complex products requiring specialized work may need additional preparation time.
Cydcor gives clients access to an expansive network of independently owned and operated sales companies, backed by the infrastructure to design, manage, and scale face-to-face sales campaigns. Cydcor holds the client relationship, managing campaign design, compliance oversight, and performance reporting throughout the partnership.
The sales companies in the network are independent businesses that operate under a contractual agreement with Cydcor. They recruit, train, and compensate their own people. Cydcor has no ownership in these sales companies . This structure is what allows Cydcor to scale quickly across markets for its clients.
A customer acquisition partner manages finding and converting new customers on behalf of your brand. Instead of building internal teams, you work with an organization, like Cydcor, that designs your campaign, deploys it through its network, and delivers tracking metrics. At the same time, you maintain control over strategy and brand standards.
Cydcor supports clients through dedicated campaign teams who understand the complexity of running a face-to-face sales program from start to finish. Campaign teams help define objectives and KPIs, tailor the approach to each client's unique needs, track performance, and provide ongoing communication to stakeholders. Cydcor leverages deep territory knowledge and the breadth of the network to drive efficient market coverage so clients can focus on their core business, not the complexity of managing a national sales program.
We measure success by our ability to deliver results for our clients. We gain an understanding of client opportunities and needs, and then design campaigns executed through our network. We measure, monitor, and communicate performance and evolve and iterate with clients' needs as they change.
Cydcor's sales quality teams continuously monitor campaigns. When concerns arise, they are addressed promptly. Independent sales companies are responsible for ensuring their representatives meet client standards before engaging with customers.
No. Compensation for field sales reps is determined solely by the independently owned sales companies that engage them. Cydcor does not employ or retain the field sales reps and does not set or administer pay for field representatives. Additionally, Cydcor requires that the independently owned sales companies comply with all applicable laws.
Compensation structures vary by campaign type and the independent sales company running it. Many companies operating door-to-door campaigns choose a commission-based compensation structure, where pay is based entirely on performance, with no cap on earnings but also no guaranteed hourly or salaried wage. Other companies, including those on retail or event campaigns, may structure pay differently such as by offering a sales draw, hourly wages or a base rate. For specific compensation details, contact the independent sales company directly.
Yes. Many individuals start in entry-level roles and work their way up to managing or even owning an independent sales company. The industry tends to reward performance, leadership, and drive over tenure or titles.
Cydcor provides resources, brand compliance materials, and quality assurance systems to the independent companies. Field-level training is delivered by those companies, not Cydcor directly.
Yes. Founded in 1994, Cydcor has spent more than three decades building a reputation as a trusted customer acquisition company for some of the largest and most well-known brands across telecom, energy, business services, and consumer sectors. Named to the 2025 Inc. 5000 list of America's Fastest-Growing Private Companies — one of the most recognized lists of high-performing privately held companies — a 2026 Silver Stevie® Award winner for Sales Outsourcing Provider of the Year, and recognized as a Best Place to Work in Los Angeles multiple times - Cydcor's track record speaks for itself. Client relationships spanning 20+ years reflect a company built on consistent results, brand integrity, and long-term trust.
Cydcor's business model — outsourced, face-to-face sales through a network of independently owned and operated sales companies — is sometimes misunderstood by those unfamiliar with how outsourced sales works. Some confuse it with MLM (multi-level marketing) or pyramid scheme structures, which it is not. Others may have had an experience with an independent sales company that didn't meet their expectations. Cydcor takes feedback seriously and is committed to continuous improvement. What remains consistent is a business model built on real sales results, no pay-to-play requirements, and client relationships that have spanned decades.
No. Cydcor is not an MLM or pyramid scheme. Pyramid schemes are illegal structures where earnings come from recruitment rather than real sales. MLMs require participants to purchase inventory and build downlines. Cydcor operates completely differently: independently owned sales companies sell or market client products directly to end customers, earn compensation tied to actual sales or performance, and don't pay fees or purchase inventory to operate. There is no income from recruiting others, and there is no pay-to-play model.
Cydcor has earned numerous client awards for outstanding performance, including DIRECTV's Dealer of the Year Revolution Award for 10 consecutive years (2016-2024), Verizon's 2025 Alternate Channel Distribution Wireless Agent of the Year, and multiple other recognitions for sales excellence, retention, and top partner performance. These awards reflect partnerships with some brands spanning 20+ years based on consistent results and brand protection.
Cydcor has been featured 13 times as a "Best Places to Work" and recognized for excellence in leadership, diversity, and corporate social responsibility. The company also earned recognition on the Inc. 5000 list of America's fastest-growing private companies and the 2026 Silver Stevie® Award for Sales Outsourcing Provider of the Year. Additionally, Cydcor CEO Vera Quinn has been named EY Entrepreneur of the Year finalist in 2026, and CEO of the Year by the Valley Los Angeles Business Journal Women's Leadership Award in 2025. She was also named to the Los Angeles Business Journal’s 2026 LA500 List of Most Influential Leaders.
Cydcor's corporate culture is built around professional growth, performance, and purpose. Team members are drawn to a collaborative environment that invests in their development, recognizes results, and encourages community involvement. Recognized as a Best Place to Work in Los Angeles multiple times, Cydcor attracts and retains people who want to make a difference professionally and in their communities. For independently owned sales companies, working with Cydcor means access to an expansive network, premier brand clients, and the freedom to build and grow an independent business — fueled by entrepreneurial spirit and more than three decades of experience.
