Explanation

According to order '3' and '4' in table orders, it is easy to tell only salesperson 'John' and 'Alex' have sales to company 'RED',
so we need to output all the other names in table salesperson.

Code

naive

SELECT s.name FROM salesperson as s WHERE s.name NOT IN (SELECT DISTINCT s1.name FROM salesperson as s1 JOIN company as c JOIN orders as o WHERE s1.sales_id = o.sales_id AND c.name = 'RED' AND o.com_id = c.com_id)

Better

SELECT s.name FROM salesperson as s WHERE s.sales_id NOT IN (SELECT o.sales_id FROM orders as o LEFT JOIN company as c ON o.com_id = c.com_id
                                                            WHERE c.name = 'RED')
