Basically a marketer is a sales person who knows and understand sales or else he would not be working as the root of sales. Marketers source and assess products, do consumer research to identify the needs of the customer advertise and brand products. They generate interest in the products that lead to sales.

What i have noticed is that large number of people in the market mix marketing and sales  and consider that they are almost same, however there is a very thin line in between marketing and sales which differentiate them from each other.

“Marketing is to create awareness”

Marketing is all about creating awareness for the brand or product you want to sell into the market.

A marketer create awareness of the brand to its consumers and let them know that see this XYZ brand is available in the market and you can satisfy your specific need by using this brand.

Now once the awareness and promotion part is done, SALES comes in.

“Sales is to drag the customer to the point where he or she purchase your product”

“Difference between marketing and sales is as simple as it is”,.

Now coming back to the question, I think the question is but wage you need to understand the marketing and sales first and by doing so you will get your answer.

 

Its not only a marketer who can become sales person but any person with good communication skills, persuasive nature can be a good sales man.
