Sales
Sales are activities related to selling or the number of goods sold in a given targeted time period. The delivery of a service for a cost is also considered a sale. A period during which goods are sold for a reduced price may also be referred to as a "sale". The seller, or the provider of the goods or services, completes a sale in an interaction with a ''buyer'', which may occur at the point of sale or in response to a purchase order from a customer. There is a passing of title (property or ownership) of the item, and the settlement of a price, in which agreement is reached on a price for which transfer of ownership of the item will occur. The ''seller'', not the purchaser, typically executes the sale and it may be completed prior to the obligation of payment. In the case of indirect interaction, a person who sells goods or service on behalf of the owner is known as a salesman or saleswoman or salesperson, but this often refers to someone selling goods in a store/shop, i ...

Benchmarking
Benchmarking is the practice of comparing business processes and performance metrics to industry bests and best practices from other companies. Dimensions typically measured are Project management triangle, quality, time and cost. Benchmarking is used to measure performance using a specific Performance indicator, indicator (cost per unit of measure, productivity per unit of measure, cycle time of x per unit of measure or defects per unit of measure) resulting in a metric of performance that is then compared to others. Also referred to as "best practice benchmarking" or "process benchmarking", this process is used in management in which organizations evaluate various aspects of their processes in relation to best-practice companies' processes, usually within a peer group defined for the purposes of comparison.

Industrial Marketing
Industrial marketing or business-to-business marketing is the marketing of goods and services by one business to another. Industrial goods are those an industry uses to produce an end product from one or more raw material. The term ''industrial marketing'' has largely been replaced by the term ''business-to-business marketing'' (''B2B''). Origins and usage Historically, the marketing discipline made a distinction between industrial marketing and consumer goods marketing. Recognising the importance of knowing who was responsible for industrial buying decisions, John Frederick wrote in 1934: During the 1980s, businesses shifted from industrial marketing to business marketing, although in 1989 Daniel McQuiston was still able to claim that the primary marketing objective remained "virtually the same" as it had been in 1934.McQuiston, D. H.Novelty, Complexity, and Importance as Causal Determinants of Industrial Buyer Behavior ''Journal of Marketing'', Vol. 53, April 1989, p. 66, acces ...
