WESTLAKE VILLAGE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Cydcor, the leading provider of outsourced, face-to-face sales teams, has announced that the company recently held two conferences in Nashville, Tennessee and Montreal, Quebec to recognize and celebrate its network of nearly 200 independently-owned offices throughout the United States and Canada.
With the theme of “Dream XTreme,” the events were attended by sales representatives and office owners throughout each area. In Nashville, more than 1,700 were in attendance; in Canada, almost 300 were at the event. Attendees heard presentations from leaders in the business, attended invaluable training sessions, and participated in an awards ceremony. Awards were distributed to those who were achieving above and beyond sales targets and performing at high rates.
“The two conferences were an incredible success, and I’m so proud of all the sales representatives and office owners who work tirelessly each day selling on behalf of our clients,” said Gary Polson, chief executive officer. “We recognized dozens of sales representatives and office owners who have demonstrated excellence and growth. Both events were extremely exciting – and watching the award winners step up to the podium to be recognized for their achievements was inspiring.”
During the Nashville event, Cydcor recognized a top performing sales office owner with a 2011 Range Rover Sport. Nominees spoke to the group with great messages revolving around passion, commitment, and hard work. A video about Operation Smile, a children’s medical charity that provides free cleft lip and cleft palate reconstructive surgeries worldwide, was also shown to the group; field high rollers who have raised significant funds were recognized. Cydcor is one of the highest corporate givers to the organization and an official corporate ambassador for the organization.
“Our network of sales offices is the backbone of our business. Without them selling door-to-door and business-to-business for our clients, we wouldn’t be successful,” said Polson. “Our sales reps and office owners are our business. It was a pleasure seeing them receive their hard-earned recognition and watch their energy during the two events – everyone was enthusiastic and energized.”

It's amazing what can be done when we all work together to make a difference. Cydcor along with our network of independent sales companies hit the $100,000 mark for Operation Smile - just $50,000 more to reach out goal to fund an entire Operation Smile Medical Mission. It has been inspiring to see what unique and fun ways we have come up with to raise money - bowling, stach for cash, car washes, auctions, raffles, you name it. The best part is - we won't stop till we hit our goal, because we have such an important cause to support.
“Our network of independent sales companies uses every interaction with a customer to build our clients’ brands,” said Vera Quinn, senior vice president of sales operations. “To watch that incredible focus and passion apply to raising funds for this very worthy cause has been amazing to witness.”
Cydcor’s Operation Smile ambassador, Barbara Majeski, summed up the company’s motivation in supporting the charity: “Every three minutes, a child is born with a cleft condition. Our employees are leaders in their communities all over the country in supporting their communities through service, so extending that to such an important cause was natural. The level of their generosity and commitment to others is what is truly astounding.”
