Sure there are lots of friendly normal sales people. Especially, on b2b. But there is still a major culture in a lot of places where it's just people trying to sell and if someone is affecting their ability to sell they need to be gone.
As an anecdote, from my own experience, sales as all the way up there, as far as management and the “Peter principle” goes.
Good salespeople get promoted to management, but have little interest or knowledge in managing people.
