The 20 Best Sales Memes of 2020

2020 has been an interesting year, to say the least. It started off fairly normal, but things were quickly upended as a once-in-a-lifetime pandemic swept across the globe. Salespeople, who make up a massive segment of the workforce, found themselves selling in unprecedented conditions, and while there were some whose businesses thrived during the chaos, many saw things come to a standstill — uncertainty reigned.

As the year comes to a close and a vaccine appears to be on the horizon, we’ve decided to look back at the year through a lighthearted lens: sales memes. We’ve gathered some of the best memes of 2020 so you can have a chuckle while looking back at a year that many people won’t soon forget.
