Not everyone can be a good salesperson. But those that can be good can be trained to be GREAT. Sales isnt the last refuge of people that cant do anything else. It is a profession with actual skills that can be developed through training, process, and experience.

I love the idea of someone saying "oh yeah...sales MATTERS" in a world that screams "tech tech tech tech." If you are a non-technical person wanting to work for an exciting tech company then sales is a great place to gravitate. And if you are a tech company that ignores investing yourself in sales then you are fighting with 9ne hand tied behind your back.
