Difference Between Sales and Marketing


Sales and marketing are two sides of the same coin. Both affect your sales pipeline, and each depends on the other. Here's what makes them different and why it matters for your bottom line.


Marketing and sales are arguably a company’s best tools for generating profit. Generally speaking, marketers attract leads and sales agents close deals, but the interconnectivity and differences between sales and marketing go deeper. When both are aligned with your broader strategy, marketing and sales help streamline business operations, improve customer loyalty, and ensure clear communication across the board.
To explain the difference between marketing and sales, we’ll cover both departments and how they interact. We’ll also go over how you can align your sales and marketing teams to boost efficiency and profit. So, instead of choosing to invest in sales vs. marketing, we’ll discuss how to align both for the best results.

Overview of the difference between sales and marketing (+ smarketing)



Marketing and sales teams work in tandem to increase lead generation and revenue but use different tactics and set unique goals to maximize profitability. A marketing team, for instance, may leverage customer data for campaigns in order to spark interest in the brand; meanwhile, the sales team contacts interested prospects to convert leads into customers.
To define the sales and marketing process (and their intersection) in simple terms:

  1. Marketing teams attract prospects to the company through campaigns.

  2. Sales teams use outreach to reinforce marketing messaging, address prospect concerns, and nurture leads into customers.

  3. New customer testimonials and data help marketing teams refine messaging for future campaigns before the process repeats.
