Cream of the crop? Why do you think it is important that a designer have sales experience? I like a designer with Programming and actual Fine Arts experience..
I do think being able to communicate with your client is key but is that really sales?
Or are you talking about sales and marketing experience to work into what you are designing to sell porn?

Leonardo da Vinci did beautiful work, however his work wasn't intended to sell anything, in fact, I am pretty sure if you traveled back in time and took the art of the Last Supper, and added a slogan "Gruel & Bread: It's what's for dinner. Go to your market and buy some greul and bread now!", it wouldn't sell.
I'm not talking about "art", I'm speaking of people who are "Designers" for adult and/or mainstream products & sites. A website is (in most cases) an advertisment for a product or service or to display content. Most mainstream companies have entire marketing departments who come up with concepts and marketing campaigns that they convey to their design team who execute these concepts.
However, in adult, the majority of companies don't have such departments and leave it up to the designers to come up with the concepts, or the owners come up with them. If neither of these individuals have any real sales and marketing experience, it would seem to be a fruitless venture to even have something developed, as it will be a crap shoot whether it actually sells or not.
Sales experience is vital to developing brands, products and the marketability of said products or services.
