In the traditional sense, business development people deal with creating channels, partnerships, and stategic opportunities for the company.  Sales are the people that go and get people to give you money for your product. 

 

Sales bring in money – the lifeblood of any new company. For this reason, business developers should ensure a dependable sales team is in place from the word go in order to support and sustain the company through its challenging embryonic stages and into a hopefully successful and profitable future

I like to be a sales maker not a sales taker,i always tried to stay away from sales because i always thought that i wouldn't do well to sell something but when i moved to USA i found out that i can successfully do it and later on it became an easy way for me to make excellent earnings.I like sales because i can control my earnings and i see recognition of my hard working on every pay check..
