English term or phrase: Are you core
Estoy traduciendo una campaña de mercadeo de una compañía de productos de belleza y antienvejecimiento y a los distribuidores se les pregunta: "Are you core?". No se si signifique eres esencial? o estás enfocado? O qué otro significado pueda tener? Gracias

are you core
¿lo vives?/¿lo sientes?


Explanation:
Otra opción, aunque me parece muy inadecuada para un uso mercantil de cosméticos... pero es mi opinión, sería "¿lo sientes en el alma?".
Ya digo, no me parece adecuado, pero como en el mercado de la cosmética nunca se sabe dónde se puede llegar para vender... pues eso.

Una definición de "core" que podría ayudar a entenderlo:

Definition: core business

the central, and usually the original, focus of an organization's activities that differentiates it from others and makes a vital contribution to its success. The concept of core business became prominent in the 1980s when diversification by large companies failed to generate the anticipated degree of commercial success. In 1982, Tom Peters's and Robert Waterman's book In Search of Excellence suggested that organizations should stick to the knitting and avoid diversifying into areas beyond their field of expertise. An organization's core business should be defined by its core competences.
