    Hi

    May I propose a way to create an additional USP that will benefit* your
    company by creating the cumulative mass needed to make your business a
    success by donating 100% of your companies Net profit to innovative
    charitable work.

    *Increased goodwill with the financial benefits that lead to rapid
    growth which causes a rapid increase in profit which leads to an
    increase in performance related pay for all involved.

    This would create a USP that your commercial competitors will not be
    able to compete against allowing you to grow rapidly taking market share
    as you gain consumer goodwill. This will allow hard work to be rewarded
    with performance related pay.


    THIS ENABLES YOU TO DO EVEN MORE GOOD WITH THE SAME AMMOUNT OF HARD WORK
    MAKING THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE IN ANY WAY YOU CHOOSE.
