What can I do to improve my relationship with my boss?

Oh, it’s so important to have a great relationship with your boss, right?

This can make or break your job experience.

But here’s the good news. It’s actually quite simple.

Just like with your customers, you have to ask good questions.

It’s important to realize your boss is also your customer, and an important one that you deal with daily and they likely hold your key to success or promotion.

Don’t assume they see the world or the deals the way you see them.

Ask for specific criteria for deal flow. Ask them what they need you to do exactly.

And if you’re discussing a potential customer, don’t forget to ask them what they think every sentence or two.

The key is to stay in sync.

And don’t assume that every deal that you think is hot… is hot to them.

They have a whole different set of priorities.

And it’s your job to understand those priorities and understand how you should best plan in order to be an integral part of the team.
