There are many specialists who do not differentiate between the accounting department and its importance,and the sales department and its importance. I was one of them, but I discovered lately, that the owners of the sales department are people with a talent that an accountant cannot understand. Lets have simple example.If a pastry shop is taken over by an accountant, and a while later we ask him to increase the profits, what should he do? Let us see. He reduces the wages of employees, terminates the services of some of them, or reduces the size of the loaf and the rest of the products and keeps them at the same prices, which affects the volume of sales. I realized this from my experience through communications with some of the sales managers. Whereas if we hand over this pastry shop to a sales talent, what would the employer do if we asked him To increase profits, he would increase the size of the loaf and keep it at the same price in order to increase sales. He would also extends the working hours to make it two shifts instead of one, make pastries at reasonable prices, pack them, and send sales representatives to sells them to other markets. We see in our work areas that are full of markets, bakeries, groceries , or wearhouses that are full with costumers more than others, so we know that he is a sales person not an accountant. This means that the accountant has his important place in any company or ministry, but he does not interfere in achieving sales, expansion, growth, or increasing revenues
