Marketing is the study and management of exchange relationships. It is the business process of
identifying, anticipating and satisfying customers needs and wants. Because marketing is used
to attract customers, it is one of the primary components of business management and
commerce.
Main difference between sales and marketing:
- Marketing informs and attracts leads and prospects to your company and other products
or services.

company’s solution to convert prospects into customers.
