Is this your first year? Because this is completely contrary to my experience.

Salespeople are some very driven folks but honesty and a desire to help customers solve needs is not a common trait.

No, but I should disclose that I am a recruiter (salesperson alert!) who works to help salespeople get jobs. Not to say I've met some terrors in my time, but I think the vast majority of salespeople are good people (just like the vast majority of devs/engineers are also well intentioned people).
