SELECT *
FROM Table
WHERE CONVERT(int,right(SalesDate,2)) between CONVERT(int,right('jan-01',2)) and CONVERT(int,right('jan-05',2))

If you will need to go over months, say Jan-26 to Feb-02 then something like:
select * from table where CAST(REPLACE(SalesDate, '-', ' ') + ', 2013' AS DATE) between date1 and date2;

This is just to give you an idea. Hope it helps.
