The difference between selling and marketing is very simple. Selling focuses mainly on the firm’s desire to sell products for revenue. ① Salespeople and other forms of promotion are used to create demand for a firm’s current products. ② Marketing, however, focuses on the needs of the consumer, ultimately benefiting the seller as well. ③ When a product or service is truly marketed, the needs of the consumer are considered from the very beginning of the new product development process, and the product-service mix is designed to meet the unsatisfied needs of the consuming public. ④ The rapid globalization of business and the boundless nature of the Internet have made it possible for every marketer to become an international marketer. ⑤ When this is done in the proper manner, very little selling is necessary because the consumer need already exists and the

product or service is merely being produced to satisfy the need.
