Hiring the right marketing professional can mean the difference between sinking and survival to your business.
Hiring the wrong marketing professional can be worse for your business than hiring NO marketing professional!
Many sales professional résumés say "Sales and Marketing," but in reality they have done only sales and perhaps designed a brochure or two. It’s important for you to understand the difference between sales and marketing:
1. Sales is everything you do to get the prospect to buy your service or product. Sales usually involves tactics and logistics, and involves the prospects actual decision-making process.
2. Marketing is everything you do to find and position the prospects for a sale—to get them to that decision-making point. Marketing is more strategy than tactics.
