Bus/Financial - Finance (general) / pricing models | | German term or phrase: abschöpfen | 'Die in Abbildung 91 dargestellten Konzepte waren auf vier verschiedene Kundensegmente abgestimmt und ermöglichten es so, die Zahlungsbereitschaften optimal abzuschöpfen.'
my idea were 'to take advantage of...' Syphon off just doesn't work with this noun.
The subject is a financial book on pricing models in retail and investment banking.
The suggestions from the previous kudoz listing on this don't seem to help given its more literal usage in that context.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Asker: Thanks - I know the word from my days in big business. I am surprised it is not used as a loan word.
The text is full of management speak of this ilk so it would fit within the style. Thanks.
