I think you are overlooking an important consideration.  For a lot of 
technical people (and others), acquiring salesmanship entails a change
of personality.  I don't believe one can be a salesman on the job and
then not bring it home with you.  One might well begin to apply salesmanship
in one's personal life.  Is this not too great a cost to pay for career
success?
