As a developer I would say the most interesting aspect of sales is what potential clients we might work with, and also what potential (or actual) projects we would work on for them.
Some clients can be really great to work with, be in an interesting field of work, others can be a bit more "high maintenance", or an area I find a bit boring, so I am curious to know who they are and what they do.
The company I currently work for likes to create long-term relationships with clients.
Also in terms of projects some sound really interesting and others not so much. Interesting might be doing something I have not done before, or leveraging past experience to create something awesome for a new client, be because of the proposed technologies used, or be the impact of the new thing on the market / people's lives.
Fortunately most companies I have worked for during my IT career involve developers in the sales process, so that usually means being in meetings with potential clients to hear their needs and discuss possibilities, or helping write responses to tenders.
At my current employer, everyone is encouraged to be on the lookout for opportunities for new work.
