What are Selling Expenses?

Selling expenses are the costs of promoting, selling, and distributing a product or service.

For example, a wholesale food distributor's selling expenses for the quarter total $72,000 — including $45,000 in sales team salaries and commissions, $18,000 in trade show participation, and $9,000 in promotional materials — all costs directly tied to generating new and repeat orders.
