1. LITERATURE OF T!E STUDY
;ales are the acti0ities in0ol0ed in selling !roducts or ser0ices in return for money
or other com!ensation. It is an act of com!letion of a commercial acti0ity. The
Pdeal is closedP, means the customer has consented to the !ro!osed !roduct or
ser0ice by making full or !artial !ayment #as in case of installments$ to the seller.
Academically, selling is thought of as a !art of marketing, hoe0er, the to
disci!lines are com!letely different. ;ales often form a se!arate grou!ing in a
cor!orate structure, em!loying se!arate s!ecialist o!erati0es knon as salesmen
#singular2 salesman$. ;ales are considered by many to be a sort of !ersuading PartP.Contrary to !o!ular belief, the methodological a!!roach of selling refers to a
systematic process of repetitive and measurable milestones, by which a salesman
relates his offering of a product or service in return enabling the buyer to achieve
his goal in an economic way.
A sale is com!leted by the seller, the oner of the goods. It starts ith consent #or
agreement$ to an ac<uisition or a!!ro!riation or re<uest folloed by the !assing of
title #!ro!erty or onershi!$ in the item and the a!!lication and due settlement of a
!rice, the obligation for hich arises due to the sellerQs re<uirement to !ass
onershi!, being a !rice he is ha!!y to !art ith onershi! of or any claim u!onthe item. The !urchaser, though a !arty to the sale does not e9ecute the sale, only
the seller does that. To be !recise the sale com!letes !rior to the !ayment and gi0es
rise to the obligation of !ayment. If the seller com!letes the first to abo0e stages
#consent and !assing onershi!$ of the sale !rior to settlement of the !rice the sale
is still 0alid and gi0es rise to an obligation to !ay.
