Does sales mean marketing?

Marketing is a process;

·         Identifies the needs and wants of people

·         Determines and creates products or services that meet their needs and wants

·         How and where to deliver them

·         How to price them

·         How to promote the products

Sales is a process;

·         Forecasts people’s needs

·         Finds a solution to them

·         Recommends it to the people in need

·         Advocates their product and sells it to them

In both, they then create a transaction for exchanging the product for a certain value to create satisfaction to the buyer

Sales and Marketing complete each other. Marketing is the abstract concept of sales while sales is the completing part of Marketing.

Marketing is the process of communicating the value of a product or service to-customers, for the purpose of selling that product or service.

The the bottom line is that Sales and Marketing Complete each other.....

Not Exactly but some how they are related, The Main focus of Marketing is to ensure that the product should be given a particular brand name, Advertisements, face, Highlighted strengths of the Product so it becomes easier for the sales man to sell it.

The difference between sales and marketing is that sales involves the act of persuading consumers to purchase a product or service while marketing refers to the activities that support sale such as identifying market needs, production, branding and promoting the product. Marketing involves creation of demand of a product in the market while sales fulfil this demand. In small businesses marketing and sales are handled by the same department

Marketing is the backbone of sales because they are offering promotions and advertising of the product before descends into the market. 

As a sales deal with the customer to sell the product

Marketing involves identification and forecasting of customer needs and wants, developing a product or products to try and meet those needs, and creating a plan to generate public interest in the product through different advertising and promotional techniques. Sales, on the other hand, involves the conversion of such theoretical prospects into actual paying customers.
