My view about the company’s processes between marketing and sales is simple, we can also gather all these functions under one umbrella: the marketing, as marketing is about the whole activities performed by an organization to analyse, know, understand markets then to act on them to perform business development. Sales is one of the marketing activities that any company needs to perform to stay in the market.
