Sales and Retail: Definition
The sales and retail sector covers a wide range of commercial activities, from traditional brick-and-mortar stores to online commerce platforms. Retail, as it's commonly known, extends far beyond the simple sale of products. It encompasses the presentation, promotion, and distribution of consumer goods, as well as associated services.

Traditional roles such as store clerks and sales advisors continue to evolve, while new jobs emerge thanks to the expansion of e-commerce.
