The Sales team would generally focus on reaching out to leads and converting them to customers, building relationships with existing customers and responding to customer inquiries.
The Marketing team in most organizations focuses on conducting Market Research to identify a target audience. Additionally, a Marketing team creates advertisement materials like social media content and display advertising while developing strategies to attract potential customers.
