Sales and Marketing.....A basic difference.

Hello Guys,

I am back.....

From now on you will be able to see my posts once or twice a week....

Okay, my very own take on Sales and Marketing taken from 'SID-DISM'... (as my colleagues says.)

In my perception SALES is easy to explain and preach but its not that easy to practise.

SALES is about natural ability first and skills second.

Good Sales People are good because people trust and respect them, rather than the skills they possess.

Sales is different to Marketing.

Marketing relies more on planning, organisational and communications skills and SALES relies on Marketing skills too, but more so on qualities such as persistence, assertiveness, courage, commitment, sincerity, passion, confidence, positivity, wisdom, determination, compassion, sensitivity, and a degree of personal charisma. (omg they were too many to write).....

The truth is, in order to ensure that - company rises well and grows well in the market, it is very imperative that Sales and Marketing should co-ordinate with each other as any lethargy or mess-up with marketing directly affects sales....

Cheers !!!!

SID..
