About

Jim Majeski set his sights on the big players in the telecom industry. He knew they were starting to feel the pain of the shifting landscape, and if he could get just one of these massive clients to trust his sales model, the rest of his new business could take off. Pitch after pitch, he was rejected. But he refused to give up.

Eventually, Jim finally got the meeting of a lifetime, where he promised to get customers himself:

“I will be the one going to businesses, knocking on doors. I will be personally representing your brand. I will live in the field and build this. And I’m the one who’s going to report back to you at the end of the day. I can’t give you a perfect program, but I can give you a perfect response,” Jim told them.

It’s a gambit for both parties. Boy, does it ever pay off.

Long-lasting companies can’t be built alone. For this to work, Jim knew he had to be surrounded by a hyper-driven team of entrepreneurs and overachievers who believed the sky’s the limit. He found his first team to sell in Long Island, NY.

Over 18 months, Jim’s team exceeded expectations, even outselling the client’s own internal team. Not only is this outsourced team selling, but they’re also uncovering blind spots in the field.

Three years in, the team is doing upwards of 30 million in billing, and it’s time to scale up Cydcor’s infrastructure to support the next phase of their success.

Gary Polson joined as CEO in the early 2000s, following the sale of his successful printing business. Gary brought the operational discipline needed to scale Cydcor into something even bigger. He implemented systems focused on "WOWing" clients and set new standards around quality and follow-through.

This transformation attracted top talent and created alignment across the network. 

During this period, a young entrepreneur named Vera Quinn was making her mark in the field. She worked as a sales representative in Toronto, excelled in recruitment, and demonstrated servant leadership that caught Gary's attention. He invited her to join Cydcor's California headquarters. 

Cydcor’s commitment to corporate philanthropy has remained a cornerstone of the company’s corporate values. In 2012, Cydcor and its network collaborated to raise money and awareness for Operation Smile and earned a chance to participate in their first medical mission.

In 2014, to keep pace with its rapid growth, Cydcor settled into a custom-designed 40,000 sq. ft., state-of-the-art headquarters in Agoura Hills, CA. The workspace lives up to Cydcor’s rich corporate culture, built around "The Behaviors We Value,” and Cydcor’s mission to provide opportunities for its team members, from development and training to social events and health and wellness resources.

In 2015, Vera Quinn became Cydcor’s first female president. Cydcor is now led by a professional who has worked in the field and can represent all sides of this growing business.

In 2016, Cydcor earned Dealer of the Year honors from its largest client for the first time, beating out nearly 4,000 other dealers.

By 2017, Cydcor earned the opportunity to volunteer for the 6th time at an Operation Smile medical mission.

In 2020, Vera Quinn is named Cydcor’s Chief Executive Officer, embodying Cydcor’s ethos of an opportunity-based business. Starting as a door-to-door sales representative more than 20 years ago, Quinn used her passion, tenacity, and student mentality to reach her goal.

“As CEO and President, I remain committed to the two tenets of our business: first, wowing our clients by consistently coming through for them, and second, creating opportunity for the people in our business so they can achieve their professional goals,” said Quinn. “There is nothing more important than delivering for our people and our clients. This is what has fueled our success in the past, just as it will in the future.”

This is just the start of Cydcor’s story. Industries change, but hard work, entrepreneurship, and serving others will always be at the heart of continued growth and success.

As Vera states, “At Cydcor, we don’t believe in finish lines because we work so that our values continue to help people long after we’ve gone.”

When the pandemic threatened face-to-face selling, Vera mobilized teams to develop touchless technologies and new acquisition strategies that kept campaigns running. Thanks to this swift action, the company evolved and thrived in uncharted territory.

In 2023, Cydcor was named one of the “Best Places to Work” By the Los Angeles Business Journal for the 11th time. Cydcor was also named “Dealer of the Year” by its largest client for the seventh time.
