The topic begins with what a sale is instead of defining 'sales' as a discipline like 'marketing' or 'operations'. Wouldn't it be a good idea to introduce (define) sales as a management area? There can be a different page altogether on 'sale'. In the 'sales' page we should aim to focus on 'sales management' 192.147.57.6 (talk) 08:20, 7 January 2009 (UTC)

"Sales" is not a "discipline" at least in any serious sense, although of course marketing (e.g. Marketing science) is. "Sales" is a common English word which refers to activity involving a seller of a good or service and a buyer, either at some specific level (Sales of Honey Boo Boo DVDs) or all such commercial activity at some level of aggregation (2013 global IT sales). Why is it so hard to get that? What is the crap that's there now about acquisition and appropriation? 72.228.190.243 (talk) 02:15, 11 January 2013 (UTC)

As of today july 1st 2013, the link to the italian wiki points to a very strange page (http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tu%C3%A1ng%C3%B2u ) instead of the correct link which should probably be http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vendita . I don't know how to fix it but it really should since the current link is probably a joke or something like that. 5.97.129.234 (talk) 16:38, 1 July 2013 (UTC)
