At an old job we had techs (me) and sales. Management threw both at each team and you can guess the result of that. During work event we all took a personality test and the tech were scored "yellow" and we tech "green" in other words we were different. Pretty much people in technical jobs have an aptitude for technical and sales for selling. So reading what you wrote I can see the salesman just doing what is his nature. It's the same for a technician we don't turn it off it's a personality trait than a job or a skill we have.
