English term or phrase: A player
A marketing text has the following sentence: "What if every rep on your team had the tools to sell like an A player?".
What could be a possible translation for "A player"?

vendedor/concorrente de nivel A
Explanation:
It seems that the content is related to sales and the question is posed to someone who is a member of a sales representatives team. It he is just a member and is not the head of the team, you can use "concorrente". If not, "vendedor" will be the right word for player.
You should change the A in your question into a capital letter.

Asker: Sorry Teresa, but I don't think "um parceiro" is adequate here. The term is "A player", with capital A, and not "a player".

ás / craque


Explanation:
An A player is someone who is very good at something. In this context "ás" is more appropriate for the Portuguese translation.

Asker: Thank you, Helena, it seems you understood that what I really wanted was "A player", and not "a player".
