Here is how I see my role as a marketer.

A marketer simply stimulates demand in the marketplace for a supply (supply and demand).   You enjoy what you do, you simply need to convince people that they need it.  That makes you a professional marketing person. 

In the process, don't just focus on making the money, but also be aware of the consequences of your actions.  That awareness is the primary reason so many carpet cleaners are using environmentally safe, low water systems that use very little energy especially petrochemical energy like diesel or gasoline.  You can argue about that, but then you and the buggy whip salesman at the turn of the last century would have something in common.  You both would see the world changing around you and refuse to accept that your ways are passe and you have been replaced by the next generation of filling a need.

So get out there and do your very best to stimulate demand for your services to the benefit of society. 

Copy, print and commit to memory if you like what I just said.   It should make clear to you sales is not marketing.  Marketing is what gets you to the point of a sale.  Without it, there would be no sale.
