"I am a salesperson for over 15
years. I truly agree that Unique Selling Proposition (USP) is very
important as It differentiates between your product/service
against your competitors. For example, McDonald's USP is serving fast

environment."

home-based online business part-tme for more than 2
years now. The 4 points you mentioned are important, especially for

mentor to guide you."
