Noun A person who exhibits the traits commonly associated with a salesperson such as excessive friendliness, obliviousness to rejection, and a willingness to engage in mechanical tactics like mirroring posture. Often used pejoratively, the connotation is that someone is acting in a manner typical of a salesperson, not necessarily negatively. Term can also be abbreviated as SB.
I feel like such a Sales Bastard - in that meeting I talked about the weather and golf while asking about my prospect's kids then presented a bunch of PowerPoint slides and asked a bunch of arduous questions until it was time to leave. Of course, I complimented the receptionist on my way out. What's that? Did I get the business? You bet your ass I did!

(n) Money pick-pocketed by the government.
Fred: Why is it that every time I visit the store, I feel like my pocket gets picked?
Wilma: That's the sales tax, dear. The government can do it legally. But if a pickpocket does it, he goes to prison.

A derogatory term for a member of sales staff in a typically corporate environment. This term is often employed by technical staff and customer service, who must support the products that the sales weasels have sold, typically without knowing what the heck they're pushing on the customer.
That slimy sales weasel sold this customer something they didn't need and doesn't work, and now they're chewing my ear off!
