Marketing - Marketing / Market Research
Spanish term or phrase: prescripción
I know this question has been asked before, but I am not sure I have the right word...

This is a brochure for a lighting company and it is talking about how it is different and wonderful, as brochures do and should.
The preceding sentence is "A bias for handling projects - unlike the traditional positioning of lighting equipment distributors and resellers"

And the sentence that includes the word is "Estrategia de desarrollo del negocio a traves de la prescripción."

Any help gratefully received as always!

Hi, I went for this in the end since the way the company works is to work through lighting designers (as opposed to going direct to clients).
Thanks, everyone.

Asker: Hi Nikki - yes, that sounds pretty good. I have always understood it to mean that the company is responding to customer needs with tailored solutions/product recommendations
