I sell crypto market intelligence; I've never put any effort in sales. Good work simply markets itself in the right scenarios. Yes what I do is very niche, but simply pointing out that in the right market conditions (huge demand low supply) you don't need sales.

I meant to add a caveat that you can also commercialize b2b if your audience is technical without sales or with much less one to one sales. Stripe has sales people but they also have a good number of people just find them and start making API calls. But there are always exceptions too, just much less common.

Choosing a good niche is not trivial though, it requires market research and imo is a part of marketing.
