check a sentence

" We can give them complete satisfaction."
I wonder if the above sentence may be rewritten in another way like the following:
" We enable them to be completely satisfied."

Thanks!

I wouldn't bother- the second sentence doesn't work for me.

Thanks for tdol ! But you can tell me why the second sentence doesn't work for you. I think that the second is right, isn't it?

"We enable" is completely different from "we can give". You can't enable somebody to be satisfied.

I agree with what Ron said, plus the second sentence seems to bbe unnecessarily complex.
