Looks like a tongue twister. In this context:
"El Modelo permite saber las causas por las que cada uno ha vendido lo que ha vendido."
I have this:
"The model allows you to know the causes by which each one has sold, what he has sold."
"El Modelo permite saber las causas por las que cada uno ha vendido lo que ha vendido."

each one has sold what has sold
Yo quitaría el "he", y en lugar de the causes by which usaría why.

: It wouldn't make sense without the "he/she", i.e. it would be correct to say: each one has sold what HE/SHE has sold.

The model reveals the reasons behind each company's (person's/store's etc.) sales.
Hi Eugenio,
Creo que el texto en inglés se beneficiaría de un lenguaje algo más directo.
Creo que así podría quedar claro. En castellano "lo que ha vendido" es ambiguo: no se sabe (aquí) si se refiere a volúmenos, productos específicos etc.
Caso de saberlo tú, puedes adaptar la sugerencia: "sales volumes", "why each company has sold certain products/the products it has sold" etc.
Suerte,
Álvaro :O)

El Modelo permite dar seguimiento a las ventas de cada persona.

"Any American can succeed in business, if they try hard enough."
Singular they
Singular they is widely used in informal language, and is becoming more common in formal language.
This use of singular they has existed in English since the 15th century and is commonly heard today:
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Quest_for_gender-neutral_pron...
"Singular" they does, in fact, remain morphologically and syntactically plural (it still takes plural forms of verbs). However, it is often semantically indeterminate in number. More technically, these uses can be described as generic or epicene they.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gender-neutral_pronoun
Eche of theym sholde ... make theymselfe redy. — Caxton
Arise; one knocks. / ... / Hark, how they knock! — Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet
'Tis meet that some more audience than a mother, since nature makes them partial, should o'erhear the speech. — Shakespeare, Hamlet
I would have everybody marry if they can do it properly. — Austen, Mansfield Park (1814)
That's always your way, Maim—always sailing in to help somebody before they're hurt. — Mark Twain, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (1884)
Caesar: "No, Cleopatra. No man goes to battle to be killed." / Cleopatra: "But they do get killed". — Shaw, Caesar and Cleopatra (1901)

Note from asker:
| Dear Price, Thank you for your option and explanation. "They" sounds as a valid option to me. |

: Sorry, S, but "each person" is singular, so you can't say "what THEY" have.

I disagree, "they" is also a generic pronoun. See my references.

how each sales person closed their sales in detail
closed = made the sale//or the method of closing
in detail = item by item//product by product
Having been to many sales meetings, the main topic always turns on how you closed your sales and how you overcome the prospects objections. It is hoped that the successful will be imitated by the less successful.
