Importance of Marketing
My role is simple and clear.I am creating Brand worthiness by Ensuing a training program which takes into account the strength and weakness of the students graduating out of college in relation to Industry expectation to be part of the industry successfully.
We build confidence in the students by Motivating them enough as well sustaining the motivation and Hand holding them through their journey on campus placement and after their selection to plan their initial days away from home.The challenge is to ensure that students who studied through a system of state board education with very low confidence to communicate or face the world.
They are to be motivated and infused with loads of Confidence, so ,that they start believing in them selves that they can also communicate effectively in English and become Employable or become an Entrepreneur.
Differences
Marketing is the design and strategy of the product and promotion, now sales is defined as meeting end customer and promoting the same to buy.
