Team members from Cydcor, the leading provider of outsourced, face-to-face sales teams, reigned victorious during the 21st annual Ventura Corporate Games, taking home four gold medals and one bronze. The six-week competition featured 66 companies from Ventura and Santa Barbara counties, divided into four divisions, that battled it out in a series of sporting events.
Cydcor team members were up for the challenge, competing in 15 different games including basketball, table tennis, lazertag, kick ball, and dominoes. The flag football team beat out some tough competition during a three game tournament, scoring 34-28 in the final game overtime victory that saw them take home the gold.
Cydcor’s men’s basketball team was also victorious, beating out last year’s rival and champion, the Ventura County District Attorney’s office, and thus securing another gold medal. Other Cydcor gold medal victories were seen in Texas Hold’em and Spades.
“The basketball win was ‘poetic justice’ and was due in part to the support received by Cydcor community team members,” said Team Coordinator Joel Daniels.
The games, however, aren’t just about winning medals. Volunteerism, sportsmanship and team spirit are the overarching objectives of participating. The Corporate Games honors teams that participate in community service activities such as beach cleanup and Habitat for Humanity. In addition, skill and teamwork is also demonstrated during the photo, t-shirt design and sand sculpture contests.
“The competition is not just about being the best at each event. It’s about teamwork, having fun, rooting for others, and being part of a community of local businesses participating in friendly competition,” said Corporate Games Community Services Director, Elena Brokaw.

Cydcor, the leading provider of face-to-face sales teams, has announced that the company is expanding its community outreach efforts through a new program called "Cydcor Cares," which puts both local and remote team members in direct contact with low to no cost charitable opportunities that they can do individually or as a group on a quarterly basis.
Cydcor Cares will create opportunities for team members to volunteer and donate time to local organizations, such as food kitchens, literacy programs at public libraries, and to "adopt" an elementary school, providing services such as tutoring, reading, music, and drama/coaching. Cydcor's team members can also volunteer their expertise to business building programs in the community, such as interviewing, resume building, and career coaching.
As a result of Cydcor's commitment to team members and community outreach program, the company was named one of the Best Places to Work in the San Fernando Valley Business Journal in 2008 and 2009. Additionally, in the recent past, Cydcor team members:
"At Cydcor, community involvement is paramount, which is why we provide every team member with a 'Volunteer Day,' of eight paid hours they can use at any time in the year" said Chief Executive Officer Gary Polson. "Our Cydcor Cares program will enable them to take advantage of additional opportunities and resources to use those volunteer hours."
In addition to individual team member contributions year-round, Cydcor Cares will have one, pre-chosen philanthropic activity per year that will be sponsored by Cydcor, enabling team members to come together and work as a group to complete the effort.
Cydcor Cares was developed on the heels of other Cydcor philanthropic programs, including the Neighborhood Leader program and the company-sponsored Volunteer Day benefit. Neighborhood Leader provides Cydcor's independently licensed offices with the opportunity to provide their time and talent to non-profit, community, or charitable organizations of their choice, with Cydcor matching their individual donations.
"It's important to all of us to live up to our behaviors we value by collaborating to give back to the community," Polson said. "Not only do we strive to be an example to the field, but we strongly encourage unity and volunteerism. We give our all to our business, and we're doing the same for the community."
Extending its results-proven excellence in outsourced sales services, Cydcor is expanding services into the retail channel through in-store marketing initiatives designed to improve client customer engagement and sales results.

"Cydcor provides well-trained, retail-branded representatives to help make that happen through quality, results-oriented in-store customer engagements.''
Cydcor meets full service, seasonal support and niche product needs through store-within-a store models. After engaging with Cydcor, territory management teams and retail product experts collaborate with client staff to identify objectives and expectations, and then create and implement scalable, custom programs that translate customer engagement and service into sales.
"In everything we do, Cydcor is focused on serving customers with excellence, serving our clients with distinction and generating results,'' Majeski said. "Our in-store retail support complements the outsourced face-to-face sales work we do that continues to earn us accolades, and achieve results for our clients.''
Last year, Cydcor earned top honors overall for Sales and Marketing Outsourcing in Brown-Wilson Group/Datamonitor "The Black Book of Outsourcing" 2009 annual survey. Among other elite vendor and performance ranking honors, Cydcor earned the survey's highest overall client satisfaction, ranking at 93 percent.
