>> But having more sales when you sales org is badly structured will make you loose a lot of money

Read the original point. The OP is not saying sales globally optimizes all things, like how your sales department is organized, rather it mitigates (i.e "fixes") the problem. All your other points are secondary, and definitely don't hurt as much if you've got lots of sales.

Larry Ellison of Oracle definitely fails rule #6 but he gets at least one big thing right. There are only two roles: You're either building the thing or selling the thing.

But this is not true, it is not more sales that fix the problem it is more sales that are -successfully selling- that fix it.

I've seen companies where more sales has amplified the problem

EDIT: I use Sales as a shorthand for "Salespeople" but OP use Sales for "revenue" maybe ?

Yes, definitely.
