Blaming slow sales on salespeople is almost always a scapegoat. Reality is that either the product sells or it doesn’t.

Not saying that sales is useless, far from it. But with an established product that people know about, the sales team is more of a conduit than they are a resource-gathering operation.

Why do people use this useless phrase template?

Yeah, the point is that it's not selling, and it's not selling because people are getting increasingly skeptical about its actual value.

So why are the sales-peops being blamed?

I think the point of this headline is that they're not being blamed in this one instance.
