Cydcor Celebrates 20 Years

May 22, 2014

0 min read

Cydcor was started in 1994 in Canada and has since grown into a leading source for outsourced sales teams.  For twenty years now, Cydcor has offered solutions to high level, Fortune 500 Companies looking for new ways to increase their revenue.  Our friendly, driven and highly trained team deploys sales superstars into the regions our clients need Cydcor the most and produce results.

Here are some of the milestones we have accomplished in the last twenty years:

  • Named the "Global Leader in Outsourced Sales" by Datamonitor and the Black Book of Outsourcing
  • Named one of the "Best Places to Work" by the Los Angeles Business Journal for six years in a row
  • After beginning to aggressively pursue the retail sales channel, saw great success – and revenue soared
  • First Operation Smile medical missions to Rio De Janeiro and Mexico as a result of active fundraising by volunteers from our network of independent sales companies and the Cydcor internal team
  • As a result of monumental growth, Cydcor's corporate office scheduled a move to new space in 2014 – double the size of the company's current headquarters.

Here is what our core executive team had to say for all of Cydcor's accomplishments:

"We offer a unique expertise within our sales channels. Our clients know we deliver above and beyond our goals; the salespeople in the field are experts who understand the sales that the client needs. The offices band together as teams, working to help one another reach personal development goals that will catapult them to success." – President Jim Majeski

"We deliver proven results that make us the leaders in outsourced sales. This couldn't have happened without vision, tenacity, and commitment to achieving the best results for our clients possible." – CEO Gary Polson

"Our reputation as a leader in outsourced sales solutions stems from the fact that we are experts in our industry with the ability to be flexible for our clients. The ability we have to deliver outstanding results has catapulted us into a growing, successful company with an abundance of opportunity." – Chief Operating Officer Vera Quinn

Why Cydcor is A Best Place to Work
By Vera Quinn, Chief Operating Officer

What makes a great company? We can answer that - according to the recent Best Places to Work assessment sponsored by the Los Angeles Business Journal.

Cydcor ranked in the top 100 companies to work for in Los Angeles County – coming in 38th best of mid-sized companies. There are thousands of companies of our size in Los Angeles County and many of them participated in this year’s competition. As you can imagine, the LA list is quite popular. The list is in its seventh year and has grown significantly, attracting employers from all over Los Angeles County. We are proud to have been named once again!

We are doing even more with the following in the works:
· Resource staffing plans – working with departments to properly resource for success
· Performance management – a new performance appraisal process
· Compensation study – researching pay by position and responsibilities to ensure we align with the market
· Program for our people – including development of consistent onboarding, training and development programs

So, while we never rest on our accomplishments – there is a lot to make our families proud, our friends jealous, and us feel great!

One of our recent conferences shows that we love where we work.

Everyone can do his or her part on how to make the office a great place. Keeping a positive attitude, creating professional development goals and keeping communication lines open.

As the dominant market leader in outsourced face-to-face sales, Cydcor’s capabilities and approach to doing business are like our team members: truly unique! As someone who started with Cydcor over 17 years ago, I am honored to be part of a company that is getting recognition to be a great place to work. We are proud of our team members, and I know that we will only continue to grow stronger with all the great people we have here.

And here's why: We have joined forces with 10n2 Technologies, the leading provider of software that prevents the use of mobile devices while driving. We're a provider of BizProtect™, a smartphone app that enables companies to enforce their mobile phone policies and protect their employees and businesses from the unnecessary costs and accident risk of distracted driving.

The App takes the temptation away to text, tweet, and surf the Internet while driving and is the proprietary technology that can stop businesses from losing millions of dollars per year on texting-related accidents. Cydcor is selling the service in the U.S., Canada, and the United Kingdom and recently launched websites in the U.S. and U.K.

This year’s Corporate Games were better than ever before. Why? Because we rocked! We participated in 12 events and medaled in 10 different individual events. It was the first year that we also won the overall points and winners trophy for the entire Division C competition, which is geared for companies with 85-100 people. We incorporated our fundraising for Operation Smile into the games, too, by selling water, having food trucks donate a portion of what they sold, holding a cornhole tournament, and so much more. Our participation was stellar, with a diverse group of team members participating at the events. Check out our video here.

Awards and medals won included:

GOLD

Basketball

Bowling

Dodgeball

Spades

Mini Golf

Best Group Photo

SILVER

Women’s Ping Pong

Double’s Ping Pong

BRONZE

Flag Football

Beach Volleyball

OTHER

Overall Points and Winners Trophy

We also raised $750 for Operation Smile – that’s about five Smiles! Our executives donated $100 for each gold, $50 for each silver, and $25 for each medal we earned.We’re sad to see the games end but can’t wait for next year when we can do it all again!

19 years and counting

Apr 24, 2013

0 min read

Nineteen years ago, there weren’t Smart Phones or drive-thru Starbucks.

But there was Cydcor.

In its early days, Cydcor was a small company in Canada. Today, 19 years later, it is a thriving business that works with a network of more than 300 independently-owned sales companies across North America and 3,600 sales professionals. That’s a lot of growth! And next year, we’ll be celebrating 20 YEARS. That’s a long time. We’re already thinking about how we’re going to be commemorating our 20th year. We can’t wait!
