Was there ever a time you hired a customer to work for you? Maybe the customer decided to apply to work at your business, or they are a repeat customer and want to support them by offering them a job. I don't know if I'd hire a customer, as I'd still need to do an interview and see if they are capable of doing the job in question. So more would need to be done of course.

I've never had this kind of experience when a customer will turn in an application for me to hire him to work for my business. But I don't see anything wrong in it as long as the customer have whatever it takes to be able to deliver working for me, I am going to evaluate him and if everything checks out, I will hire the person.

A customer could become your employee. However, I may not find comfortable being an employee of a place at such a place. I think that customers are treated with respect in every kind of business, but the chances are that if you become an employee, you may not be viewed as the same person any longer.

I have not had an experience of hiring a customer to work for me at my farms. The farm is such a secluded place that not everyone should be allowed to come near it. So, getting a customer involved might result in the customer seeing things that they are not meant to see. You know that every business got a secret and knowing how to manage yours is quite important.
 
Well, this has not happened but if a customer applies for the job and if he has the skills I am looking for, I think I can hire this person. I do not have issues with who I hire as long as the person possesses relevant skills
 
In a situation whereby your customer have now applied to work for your business, I don't see anything that is wrong with hiring the person to work for you as long as the person have the skills to deliver in the job he or she have applied for.

Anyone can be a customer and even your workers can actually be your customers as well because if they need their services or products that you are businesses providing, they can equally buy from the business.

Yes, it is quite fine to hire your customers, especially if they have relevant experience related to the kind of job you are offering in the first place. What matters most is the kind of experience and skills they possess. They may also possess transferable skills as well that may help you with your business.

This is exactly what I meant because anyone who is your customer is already interested in whatever your business is all about. So, should the person come tomorrow and apply to work for your business, it means that the person also want to contribute as a staff towards the growth of your business. Once the person have the necessary skill that is needed to work for your business, there is nothing wrong with employing the person.
 
I've never hired a customer to work for me. It's difficult to see a passenger having interest in working for a transportation company. I wouldn't mind employing any one of them who wants to work for me. Businesses need those who are supposed to work in them. I value my workers, because they are the one's who makes my business what it is.

Exactly! This is the most important thing when it comes to employing anyone to work for you. Do they have the needed knowledge and skills to work? Once they do, they are very qualified to be employed and deliver their own quota.

There are many things you may need to know before you hire a customer. A customer is a person who has been buying products from you. This means that they are aware of the quality of the products you sell. if you sell high-quality products, then your customer may know it.

Your customer is already familiar with your product and services because he or she have already been patronizing your business for a very long time before deciding to join among those that are working for you. So, it is not about understanding how your products work that is going to be the issue but trying to find out if the person have the necessary skills that is required for him to work.

Well, the good thing about hiring a customer is the fact that they could refer your businesses to other people as well. This also includes family members, relatives, friends, and many other people who may like your product. This entirely depends on the social circle of your customer who becomes your employee.

The most important thing that I'm looking out for whenever my customer is interested in working for me is to make sure that they are the type of customers that are loyal in a way that I'm not going to be worried about them having anything to do with my competitors because you can never know where a spy is coming from.

There are many ways you can make your customer loyal. However, in case if you are hiring them, then there are many things you may need to consider. Since they are your customers, they may be interested in working for your company because they may see growth potential when it comes to career.

There's nothing your competitors can't do just to get ahead of you in business. It's why they can use a spy against you. Just make sure that you look into whoever you're going to hire to make sure that they are for you and your business because if they are against you, your business will be at peril.

Yes, it might be possible that the competitor might be jealous and they want to steal some kind of information from you. This is when they may resort to such kind of tactics. Do you think that a competitor could be prosecuted for spying on other businesses? Having said that, these "spies" could take the form of customers. They could pretend to be customers and they could start working in your company. However, obviously this is not the case all the time.

The customer may have the interest of the business at heart and not hiring them because, just like you said, a passenger shouldn't be working for a transportation company, seems wrong to me. It doesn't make a lot of sense as the interest that one can get from it is all that matters.

This is why I think that they should try their best in order to keep things secret. Unfortunately, many businesses could play games and use certain kinds of strategies in order to gain access to secrets of other businesses. This is what we using political strategies when it comes to running a business.

Well, I'm the kind of person that doesn't like to be involved my business with politics in any way. I know very that there are good benefits that comes with being into business politics but that's not what I want. There's also hate that comes from the people for being in bed with politicians. I don't want anything that's going to affect my business in any way.
