Course Summary

 

To be successful at sales and marketing within an organisation, there needs to be a great understanding of the sales process, the customer base, and the relevant markets. Without knowledge of each influential factor, encouraging sales will be incredibly difficult as the organisation will be lacking any beneficial insight.


 

 

Sales and marketing go hand in hand, and one cannot exist without the other. Sales is the process of the customer showing interest in a product or service to purchasing it. The role of a salesperson is to encourage the customer to go through with the transaction by using persuasive language, building rapport, and communicating with them in an effective way. A customer is much more willing to buy a product if they have respect for the organisation selling it.


 

 

The process of marketing is crucial too. Marketing is how the customer will initially learn about the product. There are many variables that influence the method of marketing a product would need; the type of customer, their age range, typical motivations, and desired use are some of the most important factors to consider. Any marketing strategies need to adjust their language and approach to be appealing to the desired customers
