Sales Humor: 13 Thoughts Your Sales Team Has at the End of the Year

Nov 30th, 2017

It’s that time of the year again – fireplaces are heating up and so are those phone lines! All jokes aside, it can be a stressful time for sales teams to try to wrap things up and hit their year-end targets.

We thought your team could use some sales humor during the year-end rush. Here are 13 thoughts you can relate to at the end of the year!

1. Everyone else is at home watching the ball drop in Times Square, but you’re at the office waiting for that contract to drop in your inbox…

Might as well make some popcorn!

2. Thinking how you’re just one deal away from President’s Club

White sand beaches, the refreshing sea breeze, you’re almost there!

3. Knowing that for everyone else the calendar year ends on December 31st, but in sales it ends on January 4th

via GIPHY

When it’s the end of the year, even if the deal comes in a few days late, it still counts!

4. The frustration of holiday and business travel colliding

via GIPHY

So many people are traveling at once can turn into chaos. Make it easy for reps to access mobile sales training on the go.

5. Waiting on your biggest pipeline deal of the year and someone asks again if you have a status update

via GIPHY

Yes, you’re aware of the huge deal that everyone’s waiting on, and no, they haven’t signed yet.

6. You compliment a buyer on his festive ugly sweater and realize it’s actually not an ugly sweater

via GIPHY

You and your buyers don’t need to have the same taste in fashion, but you should be on the same page when it comes to solving buyers’ problems.

7. When you hear the news of another new compensation plan

via GIPHY

It happens every year, but you always crush your goals so you shouldn’t be worried!

8. Eagerly trying to get all of your expenses in

via GIPHY

Suddenly all of those trips to In-N-Out Burger when you were on business in L.A. seem like a bad idea.

9. Coming up with creative ideas to get your deals to close by year-end

What if a singing telegram delivers the paperwork?

10. When your annual bonus wasn’t quite what you expected

via GIPHY

“It’s the gift that keeps on giving the whole year.”

11. Knowing you crushed your quota…

via GIPHY

This year, you were the epitome of ‘sales ready.’ How loud is the applause going to be at sales kickoff?

12. …And now you can kick your feet up and relax…

via GIPHY

How much Netflix can one binge in a 3-day weekend?

13. Until next year when your quota is 15% higher

via GIPHY

AHHHH!
