What you gave him the ability to do was run
sudo -u Sales_User anycommand
(which may be sufficient)
What you've described as wanting is
Biz_User ALL=(root) /usr/bin/su - Sales_User
Something totally different :-)
The clue is the "as root" part of the error; "sudo su - Sales_User" means
'run the su - Sales_User command as root'
