As ordinary nouns, only the normal differences between singular and plural. As attributives, however, 'sales' is the normal form in a job-description, as in sales manager (not *sale manager), but singular 'sale' occurs with reference to a bargain sale, as in sale price (not *sales price).
Does that answer your question?
