    Of course, as long as you're willing to learn. That's one of the reasons why there's a Marketing course.

    It's easy to learn how to market a specific product or service. Learning marketing as a skill on the other hand requires talent, being gifted and a great deal of persistence.

    Yes it can be learned. Why not ? When everything else can be learned- similarly marketing can be learned ? Books and lectures on the subject are of little importance in practical life. The real life will show you how to do marketing, where to sell, when to sell, how to sell, at what cost to sell and everything about that. Howe to approcah customer, when to call them, how to talk to them, how to impress them , and so many other things. You have to try, try and try, It will yield results one day.

    I still agree with Firstround. Though some people may have a natural aptness for marketing, a passionate learner will definitely surpass them in skill in the long run.

    I hope you get my point Dr Jale.

    I would say marketing can be learnt, however practice and experience mean much more than studying theory in this field. Everything is changing so fast, and you should stay tuned to run successful campaigns and win in this game.

    It can be taught, and it can also come as a gift.

    Marketing definitely can be taught. The successful marketers are the ones that understand that Sales is part of Marketing and that the end user and not the product is the key. Maybe passion plays a key role also.
