Selling = Marketing?
What is marketing?
“The Art and Science of choosing target markets and getting, keeping and growing customers through creating, delivering and communicating superior customer value” Philip Kotler
“There will always, one can assume, be the need for some selling. But the aim of marketing is to make selling superfluous. The aim of marketing is to know and understand the customer so well that the product or service fits them and sells itself. Ideally, marketing should result in a consumer who is ready to buy. All that should be needed then is to make the product or service available” Peter Drucker
Kotler, P., & Keller, K. L. (2009). Marketing Management (13 ed.). London: Pearson Education.
Selling vs Marketing• “Selling focuses on the needs of the seller;• marketing on the needs of the buyer. • Selling is preoccupied with the seller’s need to convert their
product into cash; • marketing with the idea of satisfying the needs of the consumer
by means of the product and the whole cluster of things associated with the creating, delivering and finally consuming it”
Theodore Levitt
