Tips and Strategies for Hiring Marketing Professionals – By Terri Robinson

This tip was written by Terri Robinson. The article is reprinted from recruit2hire.com

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.
