He just misinterpreted the previous comments. When developers were saying 20% of their time goes to managing clients and 80% to coding, he thought they were implying stirring up business is easy compared to coding. However, they were simply saying 1 hour of searching for clients generated them about 4 hours of work. This means to have a balanced team, they'd need 4 developers for every 1 person on sales, otherwise, working equal hours, the sales person would be bringing in more work then the group can handle.
