What is the difference between Sales, Marketing and Business Development?

Why do most big companies like Microsoft, Google, Apple, etc. hire sales, business development, inside sales, and marketing professionals people on for "contract roles"? Is this safe and secure from the employees' point of view?

  • Answer:

    No if you are not a risk taker. For someone who wants to take risks and prove himself, this looks like a good opportunity to me. Contract and Part-time pay are the future business models, they will be implemented heavily in our future. See the Khosla Venture video on what does Sergey and Larry says on this.
