Bus/Financial - Business/Commerce (general) / Order summary form
French term or phrase: Code apporteur
This is on an order summary form issued by a mobile phone company to a client. It is in the contact details for the account manager. I understand an apporteur d'affaires to be a business development position, so could this be "agent ID"? or agent code...thanks

OK Sales Agent, but I - as a gate-crasher from the Swinging Sixties, in fact - would prefer a business-finder, as per ProZ answers, or canvasser Code dictionary.reverso.net/english-french/canvasser

Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  Leighton Jacobs: Perhaps "Sales rep number"?

  -> Yes, thanks. There is a variety of permutations and combinations, but care ought to be taken if resorting to the Sir Alan Bates-Julie Christie 1970 classic British film title of the 'Go-Between'.
agree  Lorraine Dubuc: Identification code of the intermediate organisation so to speak

  -> Merci and thanks, again. I also considered intermediary as well as broker, but got stuck in memories of the J.P. Hartley book and 1970 film called the 'Go-Between'.....
