Site Manager Training
It takes more than a great facility in the right location at the right price point to win at self storage. It takes the right manager with the right skill set.
Self Storage Advisors offers training for site supervisors and managers that covers everything from sales closing techniques to customer relations to building maintenance to safety standards. We can even coach your managers about how to implement your marketing plan. We can also coach owners about the red flags to watch for and how to avoid unpleasant—and potentially expensive—surprises.
Facility Audits/Operations Analysis
There's more to self-storage than buying or selling property. Returns are driven by day-to-day operations and good management. How do you know what's really happening on-site if you're in another state or even another country?
Self Storage Advisors will visit, inspect, and audit your site (or sites) to make sure that occupancy, cash flow, expenses, and delinquent collections are what they should be. You need to know whether managers are keeping up with repairs and maintenance, how the facility looks and runs, whether best practices are being followed.
As self storage specialists, we know what to look for, what data to compile and compare, what questions to ask-and whether the answers add up.
Marketing Support
Getting the word out, reaching the right customers, successfully building and maintaining a high occupancy rate-it all depends on marketing. Self Storage Advisors can put together a cost-effective marketing plan specific to your location, your goals, and your budget.
Should you open one facility or several? Target small businesses or college students? Offer boat and RV storage or refrigeration? We'll help you determine who your target market is and the most profitable product or mix of products to offer.
Self Storage Advisors has the industry experience and market knowledge to develop a marketing plan that makes as much sense on the ground as it does on paper. We'll define the strategy, the tactics, and the programs to get the measurable results you and your investors are looking for.
Buyer Representation
Buying a storage facility is probably not something you do every day. But the seller's listing agent does it for a living. It pays to even out the playing field by making sure your interests are well represented and protected.
As industry experts, we're the obvious choice. From market intelligence, to resources for financing, to industry expertise, Self Storage Advisors provides the support that puts you in the best possible negotiating position to secure the right terms at the right price.
