Are there any difference between sales and marketing department of a company?

[Ebensco]

Depends on the size of the company. However both of them work hand in hand , and I think some companies even tag it as 'sales and marketing' department. So basically we can't have one without the other. They work hand in hand to ensure successful sales of the company's products.

There is a general consensus that sales is that department in a company that is in charge of boosting the sales of a company while marketing is also a department that is meant to improve the sales of a business.
Knowing these two, are there difference between them or they mean the same thing?

The term, sales, refers to all activities that lead to the selling of goods and services. And marketing is the process of getting people interested in the goods and services being sold. ... Marketing departments are responsible for running campaigns to attract people to the business' brand, product, or service

Selling are dealing directly with distribution and selling the products or service, selling keeps records of all details of goods that leaves the organization, while marketing deals with promoting the goods or services more of creating awareness of the products.

I think both are same both have same objectives. They do same work. I think sales is when a customer is buys from a company. Marketing is the system that put in the place to generate multiple sales. I think marketing department is responsible to promote the products and services.

There is a reason why a company have both the sales and marketing department different. Sales department to me handle the day to day sales of the company. While the marketing department handles the marketing of the goods basically.

The difference between sales and marketing is that,marketing has to do with the strategies you use, to be able to generate interest to the business,while sales has to do with the methods you use,to convince someone to buy from your business.

Marketing is spreading the news - Advertising, Public Relations, Social Media and so on

Sales is settling the negotiation - Cold calls, item demos, site visits and so forth

The two capacities are vital for make income. You can consider Marketing somebody who fabricates a pipe of imminent clients and sales centers around this focused on gathering to change them over to clients.

Big companies diversify their department and that leads to different departments like sales and marketing. The sales team would be in charge of just selling and the marketing team would be in charge of strategy to gain customers

 

[Samuel77]

Yes there is a big difference between sales and marketing department in a company. Marketing departments are department that make adverts for the product, why sales sell out the product

 

[Muhammadawais]

Marketing educates and draws potential customers to your company and product or service. Sales, on the other hand, deals with prospects directly to reinforce the appeal of the company's solution in order to turn them into customers.

In my own knowledge, sales department and marketing department are almost the same thing but slightly different, marketing department comes first because they are the canvassers, they introduces the products to the public and tell them about how good the product , and later sales department now comes in, they are the one in charge of the sales of the good or products.

In banks this is common, sales are fixed to one spot running the business, whilst marketers are into the external part of the business were the source for customers.

Yeah they do more of advertising because without them it would be impossible or even more difficult for the products to get to the consumer

 

[Bigabigs]

I think some companies do merge these two nomenclatures as one. They are the same in that they serve the same function and purpose

 

[btaliat]

There is much difference between the two. But their work is inter-related. The sales department make sure the products and goods of the company are communicated either advertisement to the people while marketing also advertise the goods and also educating people on the goods.

Sales and marketing department are the same in most companies. It's going to be difficult to separate both. The marketing department is responsible for increasing the sales made by the company.
