/seɪlz/ (Archetype.)

The great boon and utter bane of every commercial enterprise; as aggravating yet vital to the organisation’s well-being as the clients[1] they bring, lured by the promise of leveraged alpha, hooked on the magnificent mating displays of backtesting.

Once a client is in the door, Salespeople function as its proxy in the great interior monologue of a modern investment bank.

The collective noun for a group of salespeople is a “bullshit”.
