Portuguese term or phrase: promotora
Hi all,

I am translating a memorandum put out by a cosmetics company. The intended audience is presumably its own employees. There's a part where is says: "Nossa equipe comercial conta hoje mais de 140 pessoas: 1 Diretor Comercial, 7 Gerentes Regionais, 40 Representantes Comerciais...90 Promotoras." What does "promotora" mean in this context?

Thank you!
