Who you should
hire first depends on the nature of your business and
what is most important to your business at that
particular point in time.
If for example,
you have an automotive business and you already have
customers who are waiting to get their vehicles fixed it
would make sense to hire another mechanic as your first
employee. If you hire someone in sales or
administration you could end up loosing your customers
and hence your revenue base.
If your business
is selling a product over the internet whereby there is
little need for interaction with the customer and you
can handle the processing of incoming orders by yourself
then it would make sense for your first employee to be
in sales. At this stage sales is what you need to
generate more revenues and propel the business forward.
Depending on what
your needs are at that particular stage in your business
these are some of the most common first hire positions.
- Administrative
- Bookkeeping
- Sales
- Production
- Customer Service
