Morphology
The compound is compositional: 'sales' (relating to selling) modifies 'staff' (employees), so the phrase straightforwardly denotes employees who handle sales. This noun–noun construction and the logic 'X staff = employees who do X' is common in English and many other languages, so a B1 learner who knows the constituents should be able to infer the meaning.
Etymology
Sales staff joins sales (the act of selling) and staff (the people who work). Imagine a team behind a shop counter helping customers — that's why it means 'the employees who sell a company's products'.
