overseller
Pushy pitch person
An overseller is someone who oversells—whether literally selling more than can be delivered, or figuratively, promoting something beyond its actual merits.
Airlines that overbook are oversellers.
So is a job candidate who exaggerates qualifications or a salesperson who promises what the product can't deliver: He's such an overseller—the car barely runs.
