This part of powerpoint about "selling" (cycles, techniques etc).
This term appears on a slide entitled "Two ways, one objective: to sell" and 2 columns below
one : increase, retain, improve,
the other : "bring home", *"stealing shares"*, "conquer".
Is is as simple as "voler des actions/parts de marché"?
Thank you !

English term (edited):
stealing market shares
Selected
s'emparer des parts de marché (des autres)
taken literally "stealing market shares" is pure nonsense - no one "owns" the market or parts of it (not in a "free market economy", at least) so there is NOTHING to be "stolen"; in fact, it's about taking over from the completion parts of the market.
While there is nothing to "steal", every potential client is "open for grab", so this "motivational message" to the sales force is in fact "go grab all the clients you can"
"s'emparer" sounds right to me - has the connotations of aggressive takeover of competitor's market shares, not the literal nonsense of "stealing" something that no one owns.

grignoter des parts de marché
Je pense qu'on utiliserait grignoter en français pour cette idée de gagner quelque chose qui appartenait auparavant à d'autres sans suggérer la malhonnêteté.

: Il y a un élément de malhonnêteté en français dans "voler" qui n'est pas, à mon sens, présent dans l'anglais ici.
