Networking Rated as Most Important Skill for Surviving Economic Crisis, According to Survey by Commercial Real Estate Women (CREW) Network

Networking – building and growing a group of professional contacts who provide business leads, professional advice and employment opportunities, was viewed as the most important skill to surviving the economic crisis, according to a survey by Commercial Real Estate Women(CREW) Network.

“During times such as these, the value of knowing as many people as possible in your market, and in your industry, and with whom you can depend on for leads and for information cannot be overstated,” said Lynny Osenbaugh, 2008 President of CREW Network.

The survey of mid-level and senior level professional women in commercial real estate was conducted during the first two weeks of September 2008. In the survey, roughly 20 percent of the respondents cited networking skills –more than any other – as critical to their success given the current state of the commercial real estate market.
