Equating "selling" to "pwning" is not a good way to think about any kind of sales. Talking about "hacking" a customer suggests that they are somehow inferior and that the goal is to somehow beat or triumph over them, to trick them or exploit a vulnerability. No company should think of their potential customers in that way.
