English term or phrase: directeur principal, ventes techniques
I have translated Director of Technical Sales as:

directeur principal, ventes techniques. My customer suggests it should be: directeur technique des ventes.

Thanks for your help

All the entries were very helpful and in business card titles there is a lot of fluidity (there may be three or four or more correct answers). Not sure why I chose this one. Perhaps with my limited experience with French business titles this one appeared to be satisfactory
