Sales is the process through which a product is sold to the defined target audience.

Marketing is advertising goods or services to potential customers while sales is exchanging those goods or services for money or stuff of same value. Both works hand in hand.

Sales focuses on the activities of selling goods/services, so you have to maintain relationships with customers, there is direct contact with consumers, while marketing places more emphasis on activities to introduce and increase interest in potential customers for products/services through media such as radio, television, internet etc.

Yes both go hand in hand. Like there's marketing before sales happen. Also products and services which are sales can still do marketing if they are top quality.

Marketing are all the actions that make a potential customer to notice the existence of a product. Sales is the set of actions that aim at transferring the product to the customer. Advertising is marketing. Delivery is sales

You will generate sales through marketing. However, not all marketing strategies are geared toward sales. Some marketing methods are mainly geared toward building a brand, connecting with customers, or showing an online presence.

Marketing is promoting the product, and salesmis the actual receipt of monetary consideration in exchange of the goods and services being offered.

 

[Niyi Briggs]

Marketing and sales are very closely related. A good marketing department helps the sales team to achieve targets. It is the marketing department that generates leads and the sales department secures the leads to make sure the deal is sealed.

 

[Chibson]

sales is a product of marketing. If you are able to advertise and market your product very well then you will actually be able to sale. Without good marketing you will not have a lot of sales.

 

[gammarays]

Maybe I can define marketing as the process to gain visibility for your brand while sales is the end result that's is people you advertised to buying your goods and services.

 

[cherry123]

Sales is about giving out a product for money .solling to the defined target audience.Marketing on the other hands is the promotion of the products and services to people to be aware

 

[Chibson]

Sales usually occurs when marketing has been carried out. Marketing is the means of trying to create awareness for your business and making people know about it.

 

[flower]

Sales is the turnover rate of the business while marketing is in the process of driving traffic to the brand.

 

[Chibson]

Probably, sales may actually not occur if there is no form of marketing. That is why some businesses spend a lot of money marketing and advertising their products.

 

[Springtime]

Marketing has a broader scope of activities. It involves building brand and product awareness to target audience; pricing the product, staging promotion campaigns and deciding on appropriate distribution channels. Sales mainly involves selling the product to a customer.

 

[Elendu]

Marketing is the process of identifying customer needs and wants, developing products or services that meet those needs, promoting those products or services, and building a strong brand that customers recognize and trust. While Sales on the other hand, is the process of converting potential customers into actual customers by closing deals and generating revenue. Sales activities can include lead generation, prospecting, negotiating, and closing deals.

 

[Chibson]

I agree, when you are able to understand customers needs then offer a solution then you can try to market your product. Sales is when they have been convinced and they purchase it.
