The main objectives of Sales should be to set and meet sales objectives (units, dollars per quarter), but not at the cost of losing a customer by selling her something she doesn't need.  Maintaining the customer relationship is very important.

The basic objective is obviously the achievement of profit through service. A sales department consists of persons working together with a view to market the products manufactured by the organization itself or products purchased for resale.

It is thus responsible for all that is necessary to market the product from the stage when the product has left the manufacturing or purchasing department, as the case maybe.

The result of the sales effort would naturally depend also on the effort of the other operations and departments such as research, advertising traffic, finance and credit.
