Morphology
The meaning 'a promotional offer to encourage purchases' is directly derivable from combining 'sales' (relating to selling) with 'incentive' (a reward that motivates behavior). This noun-noun composition is a common, cross-linguistically transparent pattern, so a B1 learner who knows both words would likely infer the intended promotional meaning.
Etymology
Sales incentive in the sense for staff comes from the image of a seller racing toward a prize after reaching a target. The words sales for selling and incentive for something that makes you try harder explain why it means 'a reward given to a salesperson who meets a set sales target'.
