Participated in an interesting debate after a long time yesterday. Organised by TiE Chennai, the Topic was Marketing or Sales - Take your pick. Ably moderated by Pravin Shekar with Vinod Harith for Marketing and Yours Truly for Sales, it went well from start to finish for 90 mins which had an audience of over 60 Members from TiE Chennai. The Moderator judged Sales as winner based on the articulation of facts and anecdotes why the first Sale and every Sale thereafter is important whether for a StartUp like my own Smiling Baby or Reliance Jio. My signature line all through was “Marketing is Vanity, Sales is Reality“. Was a great learning session all through. #Marketing #Sales #StartUp #SalesFirst #MarketingNext #SalesMan #Retail #business https://www.instagram.com/shri611/p/Bwv6qUCFq2Y/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1qars4oottv3e
