Sales and Marketing Practices
Definition
Sales is what you do and say during the one moment your product or service is being purchased. It's confirming the payment options. Sales people have to feed the Marketing process and use the resources effectively that they had a part in building. There needs to be a partnership between the Sales and Marketing departments. (Mayham, 2008)
Marketing is what you do (Sales people and Marketing people), before and after the sale. It is the strategy that will identify prospects that will lead to the sale. Marketing is learning about your client needs and delivering on them (or realizing there is not a fit with a prospect). Marketing is about building awareness and relationships - it's everything that makes 'the phone ring' the first time and convinces past customers to buy from you again. Marketing includes anything that comes into contact with your customer. (Mayham, 2008)
