<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Part 1: Daily struggles of sales reps <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

A sales rep\u2019s daily life is full of challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Be it dealing with difficult customers<\/a>, endless prospecting, hitting monthly quotas, or other co-workers giving sales lectures to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can you relate to these situation-based sales memes<\/em><\/strong>? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Marketing v\/s Sales (the eternal conflict)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\"Marketing<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

This sales meme<\/em><\/strong> represents a universal situation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each quarter you and your team hit the quota, but there will always be marketing guys with Spreadsheets and 5-page explanations of how they achieved the revenue growth with their advanced BoFU, ToFU & MoFU conversions.  (Happy ranting in advance!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Revenue targets v\/s cold calling<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

We all have faced it. It\u2019s easier said than done. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are hitting your numbers using just cold calling<\/a>, congrats! You are a sales superstar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Non-sales co-workers give you sales lecture<\/strong>s<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\"When<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Your co-workers often think they sell better than you. It\u2019s a lunch break and boom! Sales lectures coming to you from all around the office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Sales presentations that go into nothingness<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\"sales<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

This is the perfect sales meme<\/em><\/strong> that captures how frustrating it is to see your lead walk away without a response after you spend a good amount of time presenting him with the solution he is interested in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Monday Grind in sales feels like<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\"sales<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

You know this week is going to be the same as before when you are not hitting the streaks right. This is a real Monday blue shaped as a \u2018Monday grind\u2019. If you are in this phase, push it through. Big deals ahead<\/a>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Part 2: The sales pitch roller coaster<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

A sales pitch is no less than riding a roller coaster. One minute you’re on top of the world, celebrating a closed deal, and the next minute you’re plummeting toward rejection, clutching onto a single thread of hope.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. When the prospect finally accepts your call after 3rd try <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\"sales<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

No way we missed it! It\u2019s either a deal or we piss off the prospect for life. Cold callers! Could you relate to this sales meme<\/em><\/strong>? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

7. When you give a B2B sales<\/a> presentation <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

This funny sales meme<\/em><\/strong> is the representation of what decision fatigue seems to be like for the B2B decision makers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

8. Mandatory product benefit analysis<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\"Sales<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

You explain the sh*t out of your product and how it can tremendously change their entire course of life if and only if they start using the product. \ud83d\ude1c <\/p>\n\n\n\n

9. When you target an enterprise-level company for hitting a large commission<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\"when<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

This sales meme<\/em><\/strong> is relatable to a lot of start-up companies and small sales teams. Even if you get these big corporations on call for pitching, they will keep on hold for a while.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

 <\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

10. When the prospect is unattentive AF<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\"sales<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Undivided attention is what a sales rep wants from you during the entire presentation<\/a>. (apart from your money)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Part 3: Clients v\/s sales reps<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

From  CEOs requesting software that reads minds to tech-challenged grandmas asking if the cloud comes with rain – a sales rep deals with it all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

11. When the prospect asks for a quick demo<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes we spend weeks customizing a proposal based on the client’s ‘specific needs.’ Turns out, they just wanted the cheapest and most readily acceptable option all along.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

12. When customers negotiate for 20 minutes straight<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\"negotitation<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

You internally scream while maintaining a professional smile “Certainly! The basic plan is a great starting point…”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

13. Typical budget woes <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\"budget<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Prospects often love everything about your product, except the price tag. They keep asking for discounts until the proposal becomes unsustainable, forcing us to politely walk away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

14. The typical \u201cFriend-Zoning\u201d client<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\"friend<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

We build a strong rapport with potential clients, attending industry events and offering free resources. Despite all our efforts, they keep stringing us along, expressing interest but never closing the deal. This “friend-zone” situation wastes valuable time and resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

15. Bait and Switch technique to score a deal<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\"expecttions<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

If you are doing this for a while, give it a pause. \ud83d\ude01 We at SmartReach<\/a> never support this type of selling practice by our sales reps. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Part 4: Sales quotes gone wrong <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

In sales quotes such as \u2018Always Be Closing\u2019, \u2018fake it till you make it\u2019 etc. are very common. But how can they go wrong in certain situations? Let\u2019s find out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

16. \u201cFake it till you make it\u201d in sales <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\"fake<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Confidence is key, but don’t let your mask slip – people can see through inauthenticity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

17. “Close the deal before they change their mind”<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\"sales<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Desperate measures for desperate sales? Sometimes it’s better to let the deal marinate than chase it off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

18. “Think outside the box”<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\"Think<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

While creativity is encouraged, not all “outside the box” ideas are created equal. But anyway you have to deliver the prospect the message of the price drop of a plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

19. \u201cJust ask for the close\u201d effect in deal-making<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\"when<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Pushing for a close feels good, but skipping essential steps like building trust and value can lead to a turn-off for both parties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Part 5: The art of closing deals<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Closing the sale <\/a>can be an exhilarating experience, filled with twists, turns, and unexpected drops. Sales reps everywhere understand the unique blend of suspense, celebration, and occasional awkwardness that comes with sealing the deal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let’s dive into some memes that capture this wild ride:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
