fact: unless something is sold, either goods or service, there can be
no business. Business is carried on with the idea of making a profit ,
and profits come from sales. Don’t be misled. Often activity that
looks like selling is not real selling. Careful analysis shows us that
there are two essentials needed for these activities to be
real-selling. Selling has been defined, accordingly, as the process of

and the buyer receive satisfaction from the transaction. The
satisfaction may be represented by money, by goods, or by services
rendered.
