Business/Commerce (general)
French term or phrase: offre commerciale
Hello,
I'm translating a document on a teleprospection company, not sure about the correct translation of "offre commerciale" in the following:
A l'issue d'une période de deux mois de prospection, trois projets importants débouchant sur des offres commerciales ont été détectés.
Sales proposals perhaps?
thanks to all,
Anne
