its a big time difference dude..... actually for a common man... marketing may just mean promoting ur product to boost up ur sales...n might even include it... n sales means just selling a product........
........but in reality the concept of marketing is much much more broader than the concept of selling.... while selling just aims at increasing the sale of a product without any forevision... marketing aims at maximising customer satisfaction, building up brand loyalty in them... n having long term profitability... it uses various techniques such as buying and assorting, selling, packaging, labelling, branding, promotion activities et al....

In layman example, the bus conductor does marketing of his service by saying 'this bus is going from location A to location B' so he is advertising, creating awareness, creating selling strategy, etc. for his service which is marketing and when you board the bus then he is selling the service to you.
Where as the cab driver will generally take you there as he is selling his service. As he needs to sell his service.
So Sales is a part of Marketing.

Marketing means finding right products for your customers and sales means finding right customers for your products. Sales focuses on converting the products into cash and marketing focuses on satisfying the customers with the desired products and services.
