Appologies for previous message in thread,
typing got lost in the bit bucket.

See Sales board.

I am jumping the gun, as I only posted the above
last night.

The reason I wanted to put these words in now is that
I have three customers who I am grooming for the discount,
and I wanted to have some words in place, even before
the software is written.

I see the Paneirs Way Discount as the carrot
to the naming and shaming
stick.

PS It is also important that the finders fee
cannot be construed as a bribe, as that is illegal.

If a web surfer finds Paneris and gives us work
for the company she is employed by then we must not
give that individual a payment, but the finders fee
should be discounted from the project.
