So in the comment chain we have -

The original comment which said "more sales"; I've never heard someone in business refer to salespersons with the cutesy "sales" so I don't think it's reasonable to think "more sales" refers to people, and if they meant a larger department they would have said "larger department", not "more (department)".

The comment below that also says "sales fixes everything", which, again, same logic as the original (and has the same author as two below where they clearly say "we're talking sales of things").

The comment below that is the only one clearly confusing sales people/department, with sales of things, "I don't think you can solve it with more sales people".

The comment you're directly responding to said "We're not talking about sales people or the department, we're talking about actual sales of things".

And you're saying someone, other than the person being corrected, 'clearly' meant the department or role? Nah.
