Is Sales and Marketing a good Career option?

I think Sales and Marketing is a great Career option. Unfortunately, it is very difficult to find information about What Sales and Marketing actually is. Most pages on the internet just talk about How to get into Sales and Marketing. I was Googling about a Career in Sales and Marketing and was lucky to find: https://www.lifepage.in/career/20180324-0002/Commerce/Marketing/Career-in-Sales-and-Marketing/english

Salman's overview! With 4 years & 5 months of professional experience, Salman understands Sales and Marketing. Salman has worked in Sales and Marketing as Senior Pre-sales Executive in Tescra Software Pvt Ltd. In Salman's own words, this is how Salman got into Sales and Marketing: "After doing my schooling from Sri Lakshmi High School and Intermediate from Narayana Junior College, Kurnool, Andhra Pradesh, I did my B Tech from Rajeev Gandhi Memorial College of Engineering and Technology, JNTU-ATP, Andhra Pradesh. Thereafter, I worked as a Field Application Engineer & Senior Presales Executive for companies named Cranes Software International Limited, Tescra Software Pvt. Ltd, Bangalore and Starcom Information Technology Limited, Delhi to sell and promote Mechanical and Civil Engineering tools to various education sectors." 
Career Video on Sales and Marketing In a video, Salman has talked about various aspects of a Career in Sales and Marketing. Salman started by explaining Sales and Marketing as: "Sales and Marketing is vital for successful business growth. Selling or making sales consists of interpersonal interaction-the one-on-one meetings, telephone calls and networking-that you engage in with prospects and customers. Marketing includes the process or technique of promoting, selling, and distributing a product or service. Marketing is not advertising but it is finding out what people want, why they want it and how much they'll spend." I watched the full video and I absolutely loved it.
In this video Education was discussed as theoretical topics needed to excel at Sales and Marketing, and not as Qualifications needed to enter Sales and Marketing. Salman touches upon these in the Education section of the Video:
  • Finite Element Analysis Tools
  • Designing Software
  • Product Knowledge
  • Market Research

Anyone aspiring for this Career needs to understand that Skill development is crucial for success.
Salman then explains why these Skills are essential for a Career in Sales and Marketing:

  • Communication Skills
  • Pre Sales Skills
  • Interpersonal Skills
  • Presentation Skills
  • Negotiating Skills

It is important to get an understanding of the Positives of this Career.
Salman believes that the following are some of the Positives of a Career in Sales and Marketing:

  • Networking
  • Monetary Benefits

After a discussion on Positives, Challenges complete the caricature of a Career.
And, Salman believes that one needs to prepare for following Challenges of a Career in Sales and Marketing:

  • Managing Targets
  • Competition


In the final section of the video Salman talks about How a day goes in a Career in Sales and Marketing. This video is by far the best video on a Career in Sales and Marketing, that I have ever come across.
