Morphology
salesy + pitch
The phrase is directly built from its parts: 'salesy' (= characteristic of sales or a salesperson, i.e. overly focused on selling) plus 'pitch' (a persuasive presentation). The overall meaning — a pushy or overtly sales-focused presentation — is compositionally predictable from the constituents, so learners who know the parts should grasp it.
Etymology
Salesy pitch comes from the older term sales pitch, where sales means selling and pitch means a short, persuasive talk. The small ending '-y' makes it feel 'too sales' or overly pushy and not sincere, so the phrase now means 'a message that is only trying to make a sale'.
