Levitt) "Selling concerns itself with the tricks and techniques of getting people to exchange their cash for your product. o It is not concerned with the values that the exchange is all about. o And it does not, as market invariable does, view the entire business process as consisting of a tightly integrated effort to discover, create, arouse and satisfy customer needs." o In other words, marketing has less to do with getting customers to pay for your product as it does developing a demand for that product and fulfilling the customer's needs.
