The leads are the top of the funnel. Traditionally salespeople take leads and turn them into deals. So I presume they were seeing a big falloff between interest and conversion.

It also doesn't surprise me at all they struggled to find good salespeople. I hear that all the time. Seems like it's hard to tell the difference between a salesperson who can sell your product and one who's just selling themselves to you.
