    The buzz word in today’s business world is MARKETING.

    People often ask for a simple explanation of “Marketing.”

    Here it is:

    You’re a woman and you see a handsome guy at a party. You go up to him and say,
    “I’m fantastic in bed,” That’s Direct Marketing.

    You’re at a party with a bunch of friends and see a >handsome guy. One of your
    friends goes up to him and pointing at you says, “She’s fantastic in bed,”
    That’s Advertising.

    You see a handsome guy at a party. You go up to him and get his telephone number. The next day you call and say “Hi, I’m fantastic in bed,” That’s
    Telemarketing.

    You’re at a party and see a handsome guy. You get up and straighten your dress.
    You walk up to him and pour >him a drink. You say “May I,” and reach up to straighten his tie brushing your breast lightly against his arm, and then
    say, “By the way, I’m fantastic in bed,” That’s Public Relations.

    You’re at a party and see a handsome guy. He walks up to you and says “I hear you’re fantastic in bed,” That’s Brand Recognition.

    You’re at a party and see a handsome guy. You talk him into going home with your friend. That’s a Sales Rep. Your friend can’t satisfy him so she calls
    you. That’s Tech Support.

    You’re on your way to a party when you realize that there could be handsome men in all these houses you’re passing. So you climb onto the roof of one
    situated toward the center and shout at the top of your lungs, “I’m fantastic in
    bed!”.
    That’s Junk Mail.

    ‘Marketing’ is just a genteel word for people who can’t bring themselves to say that they’re involved in ‘selling’!

    Tertiary educated people tend to ‘market’ while people with less formal education (who tend to call a spade a spade) just ‘sell’.
