But things get a little mixed up.  We create an Enterprise object XYZ
and associate Person objects that are employees (or somehow members) of
XYZ with the Enterprise object.

But to associate a sales person, who works for us, with an enterprise is
a very specific type of relationship.  To mix them together does get
quite confusing and is not KISS from the user perspective, since an
Enterprise can have dozens of contacts associated with it.  

It is possible to create a Sales project for each sales person and
associate all the enterprises for which they are responsible to that
project.  The sales person can easily add that project to their favorite
projects list and the Sales Manager can have edit access.  This model
works very nicely, especially since the project now shows up under that
Enterprise as well.  But I don't know if people would consider this
'straight forward'.
