10 sales jokes to brighten your day.

There are so many great things about working in sales. Every day is different and the feeling of closing a deal or inspiring your sales team to complete a sale can be amazing, but let’s face it, sometimes you just get a day that is slog.

No matter how much you love what you do, those are the days you need to grab on to things to get you through. Maybe it’s comfort food or getting out of the office for a walk on your break. Maybe it’s talking about the latest episode of your favourite TV show with a colleague or putting on your headphones and listening to a great playlist. A guaranteed, all-round, mood lifter is a good laugh, especially when it comes to an in joke.
