vendeur


Explanation:
Dictionnaire Avancé Larousse (c) 2005 p. 886

Exactement: sales assistant = vendeur

In English, technically, "sales assistant" is the same thing as "salesperson" or "salesman," but the euphamismistic "sales assiatant" is now preferred because the English word "salesman" has taken on somewhat of a pejorative connotation.

In English, the next step up from "sales assistant" would be "sales manager," or "broker," or "head of the sales department," or some other such similar term.
