Cydcor is growing! The build out crew in our new space has been hard at work and they have made considerable progress! Take a look at the pictures and you’ll see that the framing for most offices and the hallways is close to completion. The next steps were wiring in the office walls and drywall – exciting!
The offices that are along the internal wall have been constructed so there is now clear division. A lot of work has been done on the lobby. The ceiling and walls have been opened up so that the staircase can be built. First, the construction crew needs to put in large heavy steel beams for support.
There has been so much progress made in the past two weeks. The glass frames have been installed for each office and all walls are up and prepped for painting.
The lobby is completely opened up and the staircase is nearing completion. In just two and a half short weeks furniture and fixtures will start being delivered and placed.
Stay tuned for more information on the move!
WESTLAKE VILLAGE, Calif., May 16, 2014 -- Cydcor, the leading provider of professional in-person sales teams, announced the company will be moving to a new location to continue serving its thriving network of independently-owned sales offices and significant internal growth.
Cydcor's new 40,000 square foot headquarters will be located in Agoura Hills, California, and be double the size of their current location in Westlake Village. The new building will have a Silicon Valley look and many outdoor spaces exclusive to the company. It will host a collaborative and open landscape that accents Cydcor's corporate culture of collaboration, teamwork, and innovation.
"Cydcor was able to double the size of their footprint while maintaining the ability to remain on one floor," said Bryan Lewitt, Senior Vice President for brokerage firm CBRE. "Additionally, the new location's amenities include free covered parking, balconies, an atrium, and building top signage."
The new headquarters is also conveniently located near the U.S. 101 freeway, providing easy access to clients, sales office visits, and new hires from Los Angeles and Ventura counties. The new expansion and space will help support Cydcor's clients and tremendous network of independently-owned sales offices across the country.
"We have doubled in size since we moved to our current location five years ago – demonstrating how we consistently fulfill a unique niche for our clients and provide service to our field offices," said CEO Gary Polson. "Cydcor's growth is consistent, strategic and deliberate, and our business is resilient to the varying economic climates."
This is Cydcor's third move in just more than ten years. Cydcor started with about 2,900 square feet in 2001. In 2005, Cydcor started knocking down walls to gain and additional 6,800 square feet, and then again by adding a separate suite for another 2,000 square feet in 2007. In early 2009, they moved to the current location in Westlake Park Place, a 27-acre campus style office development, where they occupy the entire fourth floor with 19,000 square feet.

WESTLAKE VILLAGE, Calif., April 4, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Cydcor, the leading provider of professional in-person sales teams, raised and contributed funds for Operation Smile, a children's medical charity that provides life-changing surgeries to children internationally born with cleft lip, cleft palate and other facial deformities.
Their donation helped to fund a recent medical mission to San Cristobal, Mexico, which took place in March with five top fundraisers from Cydcor and the company's network of independently-owned offices. This year's mission came on the heels of the 2012 mission to Rio de Janeiro. During the Mexicomedical mission, 99 patients were operated on and 125 procedures were performed.
"Having our friends from Cydcor with us was an exceptional addition to the experience. Each participant showed true passion for all aspects of the events taking place, from helping and playing with the children and engaging with families, to taking a hands-on role in setting up for the medical mission," saidCourtney Kass, Operation Smile development officer. "Their energy, focus, and hard work extended through their fundraising efforts to the final days of the mission. We're proud to continue our partnership and thank Cydcor for all that they do to help children worldwide through Operation Smile!"
In 2013, Cydcor and their network of offices held the first-ever "Day of Smiles," which raised approximately $100,000 for the organization – surpassing their$90,000 goal. It was the single largest fundraising effort that helped to fund the medical mission to Mexico.
"We saw firsthand the positive impact that Operation Smile has on the communities they support. In the short time we were on the mission, we developed bonds with the children and their families and we felt like we made a difference in their lives. It was a truly humbling experience," said Jim Siegrist, mission attendee and senior vice president of business development at Cydcor.
"We're grateful that our organization can play a part in making a big difference," said Cydcor Chief Operating Officer Vera Quinn. "We are close to raising funds to support a third mission and take heartfelt pride in helping these families who otherwise would have no way of obtaining life-changing surgery."

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 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.”
