4 hrs confidence: peer agreement (net): -1
peer agreement (net): -1actual sales (or actively selling?) Explanation: Here's a usage of "vente active" on a business consulting site: "D’après une étude récente sur la productivité des entreprises, seulement 10% du temps du personnel commercial serait consacré à la vente active contre 30% pour l’administratif, 30% pour les déplacements, 16% pour résoudre les problèmes clients, 10% pour la prospection et le reste en temps improductif." <http://www.scaconsult.com/Manifestations/Manifs2005/Novembre... Another: "La formation en Techniques de Commercialisation comporte un enseignement théorique et professionnel destiné à des étudiants qui veulent s'orienter vers les divers métiers de la fonction commerciale (vente active, direction commerciale, administration des ventes, encadrement des équipes de vente…)." <http://www.univ-perp.fr/iut/TC.htm> In other words, as I understand it here, it's dividing up the word "sales" into 2 subcategories, the actual selling part, and the general category of sales, with "vente active" meaning the act of selling.
