Does anyone work for Lyreco? Or know anyone that does if that makes sense??
I was just wondering if anyone had any information.

Sorry if this is posted in the wrong place. Thanks

    Hubby is in the industry (not Lyreco but knows a lot of people there). What did you want to know?

  • Just being nosey really... The basic salary is less than what I earn now but apparently its very easy to get the sales/new customers etc and get bonuses.... Just wondered if that was true. And what happens if you keep not getting your targets? Wage go down? Asked to leave? Just to clarify it was a sales rep job. Field Rep or whatever the proper name is!

    The more I think about it - I dont think I'd be very good at the cold calling... If someone was rude to me I'd probs run off and hide!! :o

    Thanks for your reply

    Hubby says it's a hard job lol. (He's worked new business for several of their competitors). You are right in deducing that if you don't make targets, you get sacked...same as most sales jobs.

    You won't have to drive around in a silly little car with a giant paper clip on the roof (like Norris in Coronation Street) will you?:D

    Sorry, the image sprang to mind.:o

    Good luck with your job hunting.
