Italian term or phrase: qualificare
The verb is very commonn, but I would like suggestions related to its specific use in the context below. After talking about the export business of a company that supplies designer kitchens, the text says, "quanto riguarda invece il mercato italiano, la strategia del gruppo è quella di "consolidare e qualificare il fatturato attraverso une riorganizzazione dell distribuzione", dichiere l'amministratore delegato, che anticipa le nuove mosse del gruppo in questa direzione: "entre due-tre anni vogliamo arrivare a fare lo stesso fatturato con 350 punti vendita contro 1 550 di oggi."
