The end of 2018 is mere days away. This year, like most years, has been a roller coaster of emotions.

You get to start a whole new year of the same soon.

Whether you are a sales rep or a sales manager, we have prepared 13 amazing sales memes that’ll make you laugh and give you a daily boost of humor we all need.

Let’s not dwell on that yet though. Instead, enjoy these relatable sales memes.

End-of-Year Sales Memes

1. New Sales Targets

Perhaps your manager hasn’t revealed them yet, but next year’s sales targets will definitely be more aggressive than this year’s. That’s the nature of selling.

2. The Not-So-Rewarding Bonus

You’ve likely worked incredibly hard and deserve a nice end-of-year bonus. Unfortunately, many of you will have to settle for a handshake.

3. The Outlier

It’s great to see your colleagues celebrating their success — except when you were the only one who didn’t hit their target.

4. The “Call Me After the Holidays” Line

When Q4 rolls around, practically every other prospect is telling you they’ll “tackle this in 2019.”

5. The Worst Month for Sales

Everyone’s on vacation, budgets are spent, and you struggle to get prospects to pick up the phone — let alone buy from you.

6. The One Day Off

One of the rare, rare times you can actually ignore your inbox all day and there won’t be negative repercussions for your quota.

7. The Reality Check

Reflecting on a busy yet successful year of selling is nice — until you realize you’ve got to do it all over again.

8. The Pushy Sales Manager

Sales managers across the world are pressuring their sales team to close all outstanding opportunities by the end of the year. Wishful thinking?

9. The Gift to the Government

We all know how hard we work. For those of us lucky enough to get an end-of-year bonus (see #2), there’s nothing worse than seeing it gobbled up by taxes.

10. The Missed Target

Although you might have missed your goals this month, you can still get your pipeline ready to go for January.

11. The Closed-Won Deal

Bask in the joy of a closed deal with a prospect you’ve been talking to for months.

12. The Caffeine Boost

Sometimes you have to do whatever it takes — including consuming large quantities of caffeine — to make it to the end of the year.

13. The End-of-Year Push to the Finish Line

Find the motivation you need to blow past your end-of-year goals, and you’ll be set up for success in the new year.
