Who is CADY?

CADY exists to inspire and unleash human potential. Started in 1999, we have become the fastest growing photography company in the U.S., with an average 20% growth each year. Through photography, classroom solutions, school branding, and more, we deliver an experience unlike anything in our industry. We are an innovative company competing to outdo ourselves, year after year. As the nation’s premier school photography company, we engage with students, schools, and our team members to make them feel accepted and empowered. CADY’s mission is to go beyond a portrait and to provide a premier experience for the extraordinary- because each of our guests, school partners, and team members are utterly extraordinary.

Who are you?

You are an ambitious, detail oriented team member who finds joy in making meaningful connections with people. You have a true passion for creating memorable experiences for people. You see beyond the surface of interactions and recognize that every person has a story and the idea of being a part of that is exciting! You enjoy working hard and celebrating hard. You love the opportunity to exceed expectations- and be rewarded for your contribution to the company!

A CADY Sales Representative connects, creates relationships, and ultimately signs business with high school leaders in their market. They are results-driven with demonstrated experience of meeting and exceeding goals. A CADY Rep is a pro at leveraging the CADY value proposition to create raving customers! While a CADY rep will stay in contact with their stakeholders via phone and email, the real magic to CADY’s success is the daily in-person connection with those partners in their schools. The relationship-based approach of CADY sales creates an easy path for success in both renewals and new business.
