Cydcor, the leader in outsourced face-to-face sales, announced today that the company earned top marks earlier this year from The Black Book of Outsourcing, which conducts an annual ranking of outsourcing providers in its Black Book Outsourced Sales Services Survey. The Black Book Survey, produced by the Brown-Wilson Group, Inc., ranked 56 providers of outsourced sales processes and services.
Cydcor ranked No. 1 in the categories of client trust, vendor preference, and operational value-add. Cydcor was ranked No. 2 overall in its end-to-end sales outsourcing vendor assessment. The company missed a tie for the No. 1 position by .01, according to the survey.
“Cydcor’s No. 1 rating for vendor preference indicates our clients are so satisfied with our performance that Cydcor is the company most likely to be recommended by its clients to other organizations,” said Cydcor CEO Gary Polson. “This is the highest compliment we could receive.”
Cydcor focuses on developing custom solutions for its clients, including rapid market entry, product speed to market, customized training, post sale quality assurance and sales preservation programs.
“Cydcor’s reputation in the industry is of utmost importance to us,” stated Polson. “It is gratifying to know our operational prowess, commitment to our clients and ability to help them achieve their business goals set us apart from others in the outsourced sales industry.”

Cydcor Inc. announced today that the company set new milestones for success in 2007 with record sales growth, expansion of its independent network to more than 200 sales offices, as well as the largest sales force and highest client retention in the company’s history.
Cydcor’s growth was energized in 2007 through investments in the company by Golden Gate Capital, a San Francisco-based private equity firm; JP Capital Partners, a Los Angeles-based private equity firm; Gary Polson, the company’s chief executive officer and Jim Majeski, Cydcor president. “This has been a rewarding year for Cydcor due to the growing needs of the Fortune 500 companies that have come to rely upon us to extend their sales outreach and business performance,” Polson said.
“With the expansion of the Cydcor network of independent offices and the skill and follow-through of more than 2,700 sales representatives, we expect our momentum and differentiated programs will extend our direct sales leadership into 2008.”
With more than 200 independent sales offices in 36 states and Canadian provinces, Cydcor has expanded market coverage by more than 12 percent annually in the past four years. That growth, and the millions of face-to-face sales calls sales representatives make each year, factored into Cydcor’s best-year ever in terms of sales generated for its clients, which include AT&T, Verizon, Quill, Intuit and more.
“We are business partners with our clients and we earn their trust each day by being ambassadors for their brands,” Polson said. “Cydcor values its longstanding client relationships and boasted record retention of our existing clients in 2007.”

Cydcor, the leading provider of outsourced, face-to-face sales teams, recently named Jim Majeski President of Cydcor. Prior to this role, Majeski held the position of Cydcor Senior Vice President of Business Development
“Over the course of the past 13 years, Jim has played a central role in making Cydcor the success it is today. His leadership, ability to forge long-lasting client relationships and fuel the growth of our network of sales offices, has contributed to Cydcor in innumerable ways. As President, he will lead Cydcor at an even more significant level,” CEO Gary Polson said.
Majeski joined the company in 1994 and is credited with taking Cydcor global, leading business development in Germany, Spain and the UK. He oversees all client relationships which include Fortune 500 companies, some of which became clients more than a decade ago. In addition, Majeski has continued to meet clients’ needs through increasing Cydcor’s network of independent sales offices from zero to more than 200 today.
“We have built an outstanding reputation with our clients and in the industry. The biggest and best global brands are choosing Cydcor and our network of sales offices to represent them. As President, I look forward to the explosive growth Cydcor will experience in the near future,” said Majeski.

Cydcor, the leading outsourced sales company in the business to business market, attributes its continued success to the same reasons Cydcor’s clients seek its services – quality, efficiency, speed, and securing a leadership position in the marketplace.
Cydcor’s ability to evolve at a pace to keep its clients competitive in the marketplace came with Cydcor’s capacity to streamline and improve its own operations. “Over the years, the nature of our business and the business of our clients has become more competitive and more complex,” stated Gary Polson, Cydcor CEO. “It is vital for us to ensure Cydcor is a nimble and proficient company so we can support our clients more quickly and cost-effectively than they can support themselves.”
“It’s hard to imagine how sophisticated we’ve become in such a short period of time,” states Vera Uzelac, Cydcor Vice President of Operations. “We have re-engineered a manual paper-intensive system of processing sales that used to take hours… and sometimes even days, to an automated, data-driven system that can process sales in minutes with even greater accuracy.”
Uzelac, who has been involved with the Cydcor for more than a decade, would know. She remembers when Cydcor handwrote some 250 checks a week and manually stuffed them in envelopes lined up and down the long hallways of the office, instead of using Electronic Funds Transfer.
Cydcor’s proven track record for many for leading brands in the office products, telecommunications and financial services using the most original direct marketing approach, face-to-face sales, has taken on a degree of sophistication. Cydcor’s efficient operations and quality systems enable Cydcor to offer a speed-to-market advantage to its Fortune 500 client base.

Cydcor and its team members recently made a donation to the Andinet International School in Ethiopia, in addition to packing and sending supplies for the school’s children and teachers.
In support a former Cydcor receptionist who moved to Ethiopia in August to teach English and art to impoverished children at Andinet, Cydcor donated $1,000 to the school and Cydcor team members individually contributed nearly $600 in additional funds.
“We look for opportunities to support our team members’ prosperity internally as well as externally while they pursue other goals and passions,” said Gary Polson, chief executive officer of Cydcor. “At Cydcor, we try to create a philanthropic environment where our team members can support each other, and we all wanted to help her make a difference.”
Cydcor and its team members were also able to fill four boxes of binders, paper, padfolios, pens and pencils to be personally delivered to the school in Ethiopia. The money will be used to purchase student school and arts supplies, which are often limited or non-existent.
“The Andinet International School expresses heartfelt gratitude for the generous contribution and personal delivery from Cydcor,” said Nefertiti Makeda, director of Andinet International School. “Our school is growing and we are always in need of educational materials.”
