SALES A TABoooo??

A sale is the pinnacle activity involved in selling products or services in return for money or other compensation. It is an act of completion of a commercial activity.
 I googled the term SALES and found this meaning, i felt nice but when i had a stint with the real world i could only figure out that sales is equally proportional to loss of your image ,U being insulted by lines like these "accha sales mein mili hai job"; time nhn hai hamare paas(this one is by the shopkeepers) ;or sometimes some great things happen yourcard is accepted at the reception and you are told that you will be given a call ,sounds great but the concerned people don't call.
without naming anybody some of my friends considered selling as a taboo for them because they had very good knowledge of finance for which i respect them a lot but when they got the offer from a company  that SALES was no longer a taboo for them.I saw a Movie Rocket Singh i liked it but a question lingered on my mind was it on sales or entrepreneurship . People liked the movie but the behavior with salesman remains the same.
I am at threshold of my career waiting for my offer letter but the my question to everybody is IS SALES A TABOO??? I am not against sales rather i believe its connecting with people but what if people refuse to connect,just on the pretext a salesman approached them.The individual gives time explaining the benefits of the product yet he is considered as a cheater ,and the companies who advertise all sorts of nonsense are considered good. Does anyone have an answer to it???
Waiting for your replies

Yours Faithfully
