I agree with Mr. Muhammad Adeel answer. Thank you
Marketing is based around creating a pull for customers by positioning the product, service or brand in the minds of consumers in such a way that it becomes desirable and the demand for the product is created or alternatively creating a product, service or brand which is demanded by the segmented cluster group according to market research.
Whereas Sales is a support function of Marketing where the product, service or brand is made visible and available to consumers to purchase.
Sales is only a process where a transaction is completed. Rest all is Marketing. If Marketing does not do the job right, Sales can never happen.
marketing is identifying customers and their needs creating awareness of your brand which includes sales and branding while sales is getting the product at the market at the right time at the place to the right people
sales is persuasion the customer and create the needs for him.
marketing after you understand the customer needs you show him your product only.
Marketing is the performance of business activities that direct the flow of goods and services from the producer to the consumer. the main differences of marketing and sales are, in marketing we need to create pull from buyer. in sales , push products to the buyer. in marketing we need to maintain a long term relationship with customers. in sales , it is a short term relationship.
Marketing is nothing but we are utilizing our sources like product listing on website, brochures, eye catching advertisement and grabbing the leads which is not on the non-final stages.
But sales is nothing but the numbers play, we need to sell our products which is lying in our warehouse and also which is upcoming from the suppliers in week or two. We need to close the deals which is already in the final stages.
