That's what we do. Especially for inside sales.
Outside sales is mostly the same thing, unless you have great accounts. Only difference is you sit at your house and not your desk.
And you also do fake travel and bill it to your credit card for points, and wait to be reimbursed by your company, who think you are out like actually visiting customers lol
Some people do great work and are very skilled but the rest of us are benchwarmers
Perhaps you would be interested in "sales engineering", which deals more with the ingest of customer information and needs, and outputs a configuration (from you) that will solve technically whatever challenges the customers is having.
Sales representatives like me are responsible for portraying an image, telling a company story, and manipulating people into doing quickly that which a rational person wouldn't do at all.
The knowledge base can be learned, but soft skills and truly psychopathic levels of manipulative ability can only be cultivated with intensive experience.
It is basically a performance art at that point :)
