At the beginning of every year, all Cydcor team members in North America get together to have our annual kickoff meeting. One of the highlights is what we do together make a difference in our community… and this time the world.
This year, Cydcor held a charity bowling event at the AMF Bowling Center in Woodland Hills to benefit Operation Smile. As an extra incentive, Cydcor team members earned raffle tickets based on the amount they collected. The tickets went into drawings for experiences with key executives, such as wine-tasting or attending a Los Angeles Lakers game.
We had a blast and raised more than $3,440 for Operation Smile, a children's medical charity that provides cleft lip and palate repair surgeries to children worldwide.
By adding the bowl-a-thon donations to our fundraising efforts, we will help Operation Smile fulfill their goals, which include providing safe, effective reconstructive surgeries and helping dedicated medical volunteers provide these procedures to the children who need them.
We are just steps away, or shall we say strikes away, from hitting our $150,000 goal!

Today we named Operation Smile this year's official corporate cause. The international children's medical charity treats facial deformities, such as cleft lips and palates, around the globe. We are partnering with its network of independently owned and operated offices to raise funds for the organization.
This is the first time Cydcor has adopted a charitable organization of this scale – it's a great way to exercise team building among our offices and we are proud to support an organization that improves the quality of so many lives.
We are partnering with our network of independently owned and operated sales companies to reach a goal of$150,000 in order to support an Operation Smile medical mission, currently slated to take place in Peru. Sales Companies are establishing their own "smile" campaign support pages and have fundraising goals starting at$1,000 per office. Cydcor has established its own "smile" page with a goal of $21,000 – enough to pay for 90 surgeries, each costing approximately $240.
"The need for quality cleft care is urgent; there are so many children around the world who desperately need our help," said Dr. Bill Magee, Founder and CEO of Operation Smile. "We are grateful for the generosity of our supporters and volunteers. It is only with their help that we can continue to give new smiles and transform the lives of our patients."

We just wrapped up our annual R&R Owners Weekend event at the Fontainebleau Miami Beach. This is an appreciation event for key members of our network of independently owned sales companies. While the event had an element of business, the primary focus was rest and relaxation for the more than 600 in attendance.
We enjoyed a weekend full of themed dinners, private group pool cabanas, ocean kayaks, banana boat rides, bocce ball, and ping-pong. The weekend culminated with a "Havana Nights" theme dinner, where we participated in a customized "Minute to Win It" and had a chance to win cash prizes.
We also held our 3rd Annual Charity Tournament event there, helping to raise support and awareness for Operation Smile, an international children's medical charity treating facial deformities such as cleft lips and cleft palates all around the world.

The Business Journal and Best Companies Group worked together to identify and recognize area companies with a strong commitment to workplace excellence. Both publicly and privately held organizations were selected based on benefits, corporate philanthropy, policies, work-life balance, internal working conditions, local management, satisfaction, camaraderie and support of employees' personal growth. Selections were based on company surveys and employee comments.
"We're honored to be recognized as one of the area's 'Best Places to Work' for a third year," said Gary Polson, chief executive officer of Cydcor. "Cydcor is committed to rewarding its employees – who continue to deliver exceptional results for clients, and at the same time, make positive contributions in their communities through philanthropic work."
Cydcor was specifically recognized for a supportive work environment and culture, volunteer opportunities, quality and commitment of management, and benefits.
Team members are eligible for benefits in the month following their hire date. Beginning in their first year, each employee receives 15 days of sick and vacation time. Team members can also occasionally arrange to work from home. Cydcor provides an Employee Assistance Program (EAP), including mental health counseling and referrals, wellness and smoking cessation programs. Cydcor also provides supplemental life insurance, a Flexible Spending Account, a Dependent Care Spending Account, and Franklin Covey Time Management System training for all new hires.

This past year, the company kicked off its new Cydcor Cares program with a reading fair that took place at the Boys and Girls Club. More than 500 team members from offices throughout the country also dedicated nearly 300 hours to local communities through charity and volunteer work – helping more than 28 organizations through Cydcor's Neighborhood Leader Program. Additionally, Cydcor made a donation to the Intrepid Museum Foundation's Sea, Air & Space Museum in honor of Board Member Dan Frederickson's service in the U.S. Marines. Earlier this year, Cydcor donated clothing, shoes, and first aid supplies to earthquake survivors in Haiti through Haiti Gospel Mission.
We kicked off our Cydcor Cares program at the Boys and Girls Club in Thousand Oaks, California this month. The event was designed to help kids become more interested in reading. Cydcor office team members dressed up as their favorite fictional characters and read to children in kindergarten through fourth grade.
The Bookaneer, a local used bookstore in Thousand Oaks, donated dozens of children’s fiction titles to help support the event. Owner, Tracy Benedict, was thrilled with the results and thanked Cydcor for making it a priority to give back to their local community and for providing such a great program for children to participate in.

Sales & Marketing Management Magazine published a case study on Cydcor earlier this year that we wanted to share with you. Here's a snippet from the article:
Some 26,000 C-level officers and senior executives ranked Cydcor No. 1 in several key areas, including sales team outsourcing and sales support service, client satisfaction, and numerous performance categories (including vendor overall preference, training, trust, and reliability).
Clearly, Cydcor is doing something right. The company's sales network marshals approximately 200 offices in North America and nearly 3,000 representatives.
Three key factors account for this success: a company mission that meets a growing need, a collaborative culture that cultivates and rewards excellence, and a proven business model that drives results.
At the company's core is what Chief Executive Officer Gary Polson describes as a singular "focus to be the best outsourced sales solution for [Cydcor's] clients." Cydcor's mission anticipates and fulfills an escalating market need, as organizations seek more scalable solutions to achieve top-line growth and bottom-line value in the post-recession environment.
