The author establishes a conditional relationship (if a salesperson meets the quota, then they’re experienced). They then conclude that their failure to meet the sufficient condition (not meeting the quota) means they don’t meet the necessary condition (they’re not an experienced salesperson).
This argument features the cookie-cutter flaw of confusing a sufficient condition for a necessary condition. It’s still entirely possible to have the necessary condition (being an experienced salesperson) without having the sufficient condition (meeting the quota), so the absence of the sufficient condition doesn’t support any conclusions.
