What's the Difference between Marketing and Sales?

[Suba]

In our daily life there has been confusion between
sales and marketing terms. I often read advertisements in newspapers, some marketing people are needed, but after being approached it turns out that what is needed is a salesperson (door2door). So in your opinion, are marketing and sales the same?

Marketing focuses on increasing awareness of a brand and organization, whereas sales convert that viewership into income by converting the potential customers into actual customers.

Marketing leads to sales. Marketing is primarily focused on generating leads which the sales department can move in and close down. Advertising, branding and email are all part of marketing.

Marketing is totally different from sales because marketing involves the promotion of a particular brand of items while sales is when you were able to make a turnover.

Sales is how well your product is moving and the marketing is just an awareness about your product and what your products does

Marketing and sales are a little bit different from each other because marketing are procedures or processes taken to ensure a quick turnover and to ensure brand awareness which is different from sales.

Marketing and sales are probably the same because they are all geared towards ensuring productivity of a company and that is why they would be classified as the same thing.

You have a valid point there because there are more or less the same because they are pointing to sales generation.

Marketing is about building awareness of the brand or the organization. It helps to generate leads. Sales is the activity of selling the product/service to customers. They are different but need to work together to bring profit to an organization.

I used to think the two where actually the same thing but right now i believe marketing has to do with the process of promoting and advertising your products and services, while sales is the actual selling of it.

Marketing is all about selling the information about the business products to the general public while sales is all about selling the product itself to the public and making profit.
