It’s no secret that it can be difficult to sell a book if the author isn’t known in the community.  As a general rule, authors who have slight recognition will sell better compared to authors that aren’t as recognizable.

The same can be said for publishing companies and authors that aspire to be published traditionally. Most traditional publishing companies will consider publishing work from authors that already have a small following.

The preference makes sense if you look at it from a bookworm perspective. Often, when browsing books in a bookstore, you would tend to pick up titles from authors that seem familiar. Most of the time, you pick up titles recommended to you.
