German term

Aussendienst

German to English Bus/Financial Business/Commerce (general) sales
I found "in-house sales " here as a translation for "Innendienst", which I think describes the role well. Has anyone a suitable translation for "Aussendienst", please?

Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (2): Edith Kelly, Woodstock (X)

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

How about a suggestion from the proz.com list? Or maybe field staff?

3 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "Thank you, your answer is helpful and generally I agree. However, I need this word in a sales context, so field sales (as partner to Innendienst=in-house sales) or sales representative are more suitable for me."
