Excellent communication skills required. You must be able to sell yourself and our products both over the phone and by email (no mass spam emailing).
…
I’ll guess the selling yourself part is just a British-ism and isn’t actually intended for my American ears.Details here.

‘Selling your -self-’ is a perfectly common expression in America. The phrase you’re probably thinking of is ‘Selling your -body-’, which is, of course, quite a different matter.

They expect you to earn $63000
The salary is $18000
That leaves $45000 they expect you’ll earn at 10% commission, or $450,000 in sales they are hoping you will bring in. That’s a tall order. If you figure that LGP makes $15 per title (I’m pulling that number out of my ass BTW) they’re hoping for 30,000 copies sold per year to resellers.
The problem is that LGP doesn’t release that many titles. If you could get LGP products onto the shelves of Best Buy, Fry’s, etc next to the distros it’s doable, but considering that there aren’t enough GNU/Linux titles to make a GNU/Linux section in stores, it will be a tough sell.
