In sales 'sandbagging' is when you deliberately avoid closing sales in a given measurement period so as to increase sales in the following measurement period (ie: if a rep has already made his number for January, and thus chooses to push a deal in his pipeline to February). Interesting that the term has a completely different meaning in M&A, and that in neither case does the term have anything to do with sand or bags.
