We’ll give you over 8,500 reasons to make customers smile :-)

If you are in sales, you’ll love making customers smile. And making them happy day-in and day-out has been instrumental to Lyreco becoming the benchmark in the office and work place solution products industry, with quality products (over 8,500 of them) and unparalleled service. How many companies can you name that deliver 99.4% of products to customers within 24 hours?

If you thought the world of office and work place solution selling was promoting paper and pens think again. Whatever consumables or office solutions a customer needs, we can provide. From furniture to files; coffee to calculators; lamps to laminators; and napkins to notebooks, along with an extensive range of specialised products such as personal protection equipment, shredding services, catering and hygiene along with bespoke products that can be branded to specific customer needs, we are indeed the one stop shop for all our customers’ needs in the work place.

Meeting and exceeding customers expectations is a core Lyreco value which means that we are looking for talented sales people who can not only develop customers sales and profitability, but who go the extra mile, time after time. Our customers recognise the difference between an average sales person and an exceptional one – and so do we.

Accordingly we’ll be looking for natural sales people who exude confidence and can demonstrate tenacity and an impressive record of hitting sales goals – not necessarily in B2B. Of more importance will be your ability to just go out and do it - open doors and hunt down new business whilst closing doors of existing customers to our competitors. Happy customers don’t tend to leave the Lyreco fold.

We’ve got a successful formula of managing and developing customers and you should be comfortable with following our sales guidelines. That does not mean your role will be prescriptive. Far from it. You will have considerable autonomy over how you manage your territory and your day, and how you strike deals, achieve margins, introduce new customers, etc. But you’ll need to be organised – well organised – to manage a hectic schedule and to delight your customers.

Ideally you should live within your sales territory which covers Southampton, Eastleigh, Romsey, Winchester and surrounding areas.

The benefits of working with Lyreco are world class and include an attractive basic, a monthly bonus plus an uncapped quarterly bonus scheme for over-achievement (top performers earn in excess of £3k per quarter), a fully expensed company car, private health care, pension and regular big ticket prizes such as fully expensed luxury holidays.

The training is also legendary – products / skills / techniques – residential / on the job / refresher. Our very best sales people are always learning. And with success and regular target achievement comes regular salary progression and promotion. You do the business and we’ll recognise your achievements like no other company you have ever worked for.
