Morphology
The meaning is directly compositional: 'sales' (relating to selling) modifies 'rep' (representative), so a B1 learner who knows both words will infer 'a representative who handles sales'. The specific nuance that it may be virtual/automated is an implementation detail and does not affect the transparent, literal combination of the constituents.
Etymology
Sales rep comes from the full phrase sales representative; imagine a person with a company badge standing with customers and speaking for the company to sell products. So, sales rep means 'a person who sells for a company'.
