Are You a Salesman Or a Marketer?
Do you realize that there is a big difference in being a
salesman and being a marketer?
Virtually everyone selling something online calls
themselves a marketer. Most are in reality salesman.
what's the difference?
A salesman tries his best to get people to want something
he is selling and then purchase it.
A marketer is someone who determines what the people want,
then finds or develops an appropriate product or service to
sell to them.
Do you see the difference? I'm willing to bet that a lot
of you are salesman and didn't even know it. There's
nothing wrong with being a salesman but it is a lot more
difficult to sell something that you want people to own
than it is to sell something to people
that they actually want.

it is to fill a void in the marketplace. Use a survey, a
poll, there are countless different methods to find out
what the people want and need.
So it comes down to a simple question. Do you want to be a
salesman or a marketer. Understanding the difference is the
first step in making that decision. The answer seems pretty
obvious doesn't it?
