Sales Manager– Not to be cute, but a Manager does just that… they manage. They manage people, they manage metrics, and they manage processes.

 Sales Director – A Director has the skills and experience to not only execute, but to also identify issues and course correct. They take the overall goals and rough plan delivered by the executive team and drive results.

Thanks for a such important question.  Both of them at the same trak of the selling Department but there are some differnces in the Duties and responsibilities as :

1- Sales Director is considered as a head of the selling process in the Planning , Controlling & Managing. Sales Manager is responsible for the Sales activities as processing and in touch with customers directly.

2- Sales Director is responsible for the new selling strategies and their applications and change them as per the market trends. Sales Manager participates and assisst the Director in this direction and try to find the best methods in the application as per the customer requirements and needs
