Morphology
The compound combines 'sales' (related to selling) with 'pitch' (to present or persuade), so the overall meaning—a presentation intended to sell—is directly derivable from the parts. This is a common, compositional noun phrase pattern (and has clear parallels in many languages), so a B1 learner who knows both constituents should be able to understand it.
Etymology
Sales pitch comes from the image of a seller 'pitching' an idea like throwing a ball, where the sales person sends a quick message called the pitch to catch someone's attention. That's why it now means a short, persuasive talk to make someone buy something.
