Marketing is the process of planning, implementation and follow-up development, pricing, promotion and distribution of goods, services and ideas to create exchanges that achieves saturation for both individuals and organizations.
Perhaps identifies dear reader of this definition, the following observations: 1 - marketing in essence depends on planning; to satisfy the needs and desires of the final consumer or industrial user, and to achieve the interests of the organization with a degree of effectiveness and efficiency.
2 - that marketing is mainly based on the performance of a set of integrated functions related to flow and the flow of goods and services from the producer or importer to the customers in the market and provide after-sales services.
3 - that marketing is not limited role on the economic goods and services, but also extends in an expanded concept to marketing ideas, people, places, etc., and so is not limited to businesses only, but extends its activities to organizations that do not aim to make a profit.
4 - that marketing to achieve its objectives depends on a system of marketing mix consists of four main elements: product, price, promotion and distribution.

The sales techniques and selling ideas here have all been effective at some stage.
Many are still widely used.
Think about what you are selling, the market that you're selling into, the people you meet in the selling process, and use what will help you sell better.
If you are managing sales people, the best results generally come if you allow sales people to work to their strengths; in a way that is natural to them.
New sales techniques, sales training and selling methods are continually developing.
This free sales training section covers sales and the selling process from its early beginnings, through to the most modern selling techniques and ideas.
See for example Sharon Drew Morgen's Buying Facilitation® selling methods, Cold Calling, and Negotiation.
Sales and selling terms, and early sales and selling theories appear first in this article; the most advanced sales methods and ideas are at the end of the section.
While early sales processes still contain some useful techniques and fundamentals, successful selling today relies on modern selling using collaboration, facilitation, and partnership.
Tips on selecting sales training providers, sales training programs, selling courses and sales management training are in the sales training providers section.
Successful selling also requires that the product or service is of suitable quality for its target market, and that the selling company takes good care of its customers.
Therefore it's helpful for the sale person (or anyone else in business for that matter) to work for a professional, good quality organization.
Product development, design and production, service delivery, and the integrity of the selling company's organization are also necessary for successful selling, and typically are outside the formal control of the sales person, hence why internal selling is an increasingly important aspect of the modern sales role

I believe the experts have said enough, but thanks for the invitation
