potas

español al inglés Mercadeo Recursos humanos
I have no context for this, it is a heading on its own in a staff training manual. The section for which it is a heading reads:

Potas: Sería bueno sobre todo para potenciar las ventas de productos con mucho stock y poca salida. Se logra motivar a las chicas y probablemente aumenten las ventas.

That's all I have to go on...

Si alguien me lo puede explicar, sería fenomenal!

Thanks!

Flipo. Se lo voy a decir a mi madre, que hace unas potas en salsa estupendas, seguro que se ríe un rato, ja ja ja!

Yes. I believe so too. I have heard of Piece Of The Action (POTA) Bonus

Definition Potas I was able to ask the client for clarification and it appears that in this case "potas" means something along the lines of unofficial tips or an unofficial bonus. Thanks to everyone for their suggestions.

I think they might have meant cuotas, though it's a strange typo to make... The text is from Spain and I forgot to say they're selling clothes. Thanks anyway to the squid/cuttlefish answerers, my fault for not making it clear.

De acuerdo con teju, si las chicas alcanzan la cuota de venta probablemente aumente su comisión.
Y. Peraza Dec 15, 2006:
Nunca he oido "potas" en un contexto semejante... De qué país es originario tu texto???
teju Dec 15, 2006:
¿Could they have meant "cuotas"?

On the world market, the lack of Illex squid from the South West Atlantic has been made up by higher giant or pota squid from Peru. Pota squid exports are placed second among Peruvian fish exports after anchovy and first in local consumption due to the presence of a large number of pota squid in the Peruvian seaboard. The quota allocated for pota squid catch in 2005 is 250 000 tonnes, similar than in 2004.

Sales goals/quotas

As I said before, I think it's probably a typo for "cuotas".
