Show strong communication skills

89% of people think effective communication is vital, while 80% of people would rate their business's communication as average or poor.

• Ensure your communication is clear when it comes to understanding project requirements, the scope of work, responsibilities, dependencies on other people, etc.
• Deadlines should be kept by both parties. This is best done with written and verbal communication.
• Voice your concerns before saying yes to the proposal or contract. Ironing out the details will keep things organised.
• Be curious. Ask how you can contribute to business success.
