Selling is the process of transferring goods or services to the buyer in return of money or something else by Registered Business. On the other hand, Salesmanship is actually the way you convince your prospect with logic, arguments and product features to buy it from you and not from other suppliers.

After long healthy presentation and discussion, I buy your laptop and pay you cash. Paying cash and receiving laptop is selling and everything before paying cash was Salesmanship.

Example

In a sales job interview; interviewer asked the applicant to sale refrigerator in the winter season in cold areas of country and heater in summer in hot areas of the country.

It seems impossible but it is salesmanship. Usually, you go out buying a mobile voucher, you simply pay to the retailer and buy.

Did he/she ever try to convince you for buying a voucher? Absolutely not but Salesman always does, remember your meeting with insurance policy seller.

In the above example, salesmanship was performed by the first salesman who motivated you to buy his company SIM card and TV Commercials you watch.

The Answer

Conclusively, Salesmanship is primary or 1st phase or foundation. Media is power in this era, TV Ads, Billboards, SMS marketing do salesmanship for the companies, it influence and build up your mind for buying it.
