Marketing - Insurance
French term or phrase: animation
I've seen "animation commerciale" translated as sales events, but I don't think it fits my context, which here would mean working with a network of local insurance brokers and getting them to sell more policies. In fact, I have a feeling that they mean "animation du réseau commercial" (https://www.definitions-marketing.com/definition/animation-r... but I don't know how to express it in marketing speak.

1) savoir-faire historique dans le développement et ***l’animation commerciale*** du réseau de courtiers sur le terrain

2) 15 ANS DE SAVOIR-FAIRE DANS ***L’ANIMATION **DE RÉSEAUX DE COURTIERS
Pilotés par la direction commerciale BtoB, les 14 commerciaux sont répartis par région. Ils **animent*** et fidélisent 4.000 courtiers sur le terrain à travers :
des visites physiques régulières ;
des challenges commerciaux incentivant ;
des formations sur les produits et les méthodes de vente.

English translation:sales network management
Explanation:
I think this is a marketing term for the management and motivation of the regional sales network. "animation" sounds more fun and peppy than "gestion" and incorporates a sense of motivation and fun.
