A couple things:
1) Are you looking for COUNT(DISTINCT salesID) rather than COUNT(salesID)?
2) Change your group clause to this: GROUP BY branch.branchID,
branch_name, company name
MySQL is pretty forgiving and will let you include fields in the
SELECT that are neither aggregated nor grouped, but it's bad practice.
Beyond that, a clearer explanation of what you expect to see in the
results would help a lot in building the query to get those results.
