And speaking some other language than German might be an advantage
when the sales personnel originates from a country whose language you
master.

Well, the salesperson might have migrated from Pakistan, Sri Lanka,
or India...


If I put a smiley on the end, would it make it more obvious that I was
cracking a slight (very slight!) joke?

Not true IME, not even the Prussians who are renowned for not having one. It
can tend towards the practical joke end of the spectrum.
