Bus/Financial - Insurance
German term or phrase: Vollmandat
Hi, I am translating something about an insurer which sucessfully won over a client, but I'm not sure exactly what the insurer was awarded as a result - does anyone have any ideas how to translate 'Vollmandat' please?

Die vorgestellte Vorgehensweise überzeugte den CFO und den Inhaber – sie erteilten [XXXFirma] ein Vollmandat.

Thank you very much for your help.
