There are organizations that take extra-ordinary steps to keep their labour force at the optimum number from day one, to avoid any subsequent lay-offs.

Let's look at a couple of examples of each, and you will understand why having clients is better than having customers.If you walk into a convenience store and buy a cup of coffee, are you a customer or a client?
