Storage Rental

• If you have been working in the storage for rent business for a while it is so easy for you to wonder why someone calling to ask about storage for rent has not a clue as to what a storage unit size looks like. True enough, many who call for storage have used storage for rent before and they know pretty much what size they need, however, it is usually just a rough estimate. Many callers who have never stored before may assume that a unit for rent that their friend rented 2 years ago would also work for what they are storing. Although, they may not have even known what their friend actually stored in their storage unit. Even if the caller tells you exactly what they plan on putting into the storage unit for rent we can only estimate what size would work the best to suit their storage needs. It may be a bit too small or a bit too big. But it really makes a difference if the couch that they need to put in storage is the old fashioned petite couch kind, or the popular puffy oversized regular couch or even the oversized sectional couch that comes in three or four pieces.  An entertainment center can be anywhere from the size of a large end table or the kind of entertainment center that fits across the entire width of their 1620 foot living room and nearly reaches the height of an 8 foot ceiling. If the caller is very vague in giving these precise descriptions, then who knows what storage size for rent their things will fit in. But if you are skilled enough to ask these questions than you can get a pretty good idea of the unit size that you would need to quote them on to at least make sure that their items fit into the storage unit for rent. Then there is the question of how many boxes and what are the sizes of the boxes that they plan on storing. Or the garage items that they are not sure they are willing to let go yet. They may store more. They may store less. How large is their dining set? Is it a table and chair set for four where you can also turn the chairs upside down on each other to stack those two high? Or is it an dinning room table and chair set for eight that comes with eight huge chairs that you can in no way stack on top of each other because they are the size of a mini loveseat. Then if the caller is shopping around for storage but it seems like all locations have pretty much the same amenities, features, prices and specials. How can they make a decision to best suit their needs? How do you convince them to rent with you? So what if you are down the street from me, so is the other storage facility they just called. How do you handle these? Invite the caller in for a site visit. If they are not good at visualizing the differences between them or they cannot visualize the size of unit for rent and are really hesitant about reserving or deciding on a specific size or type of a storage unit for rent, then it is really important for them to get to the facility so they can see for themselves if it will work or not. When they come in, they can see if it is the kind of storage facility that they can see themselves renting with. Is the property clean and well maintained? Does the structure look sound and safe? What type of people visit the property for rent? Is the location in a well lit area or a safe neighborhood? Do they feel safe being on the property? Do they feel comfortable with the employees at the property? A site visit will give a better perspective of the actual property. Invite them in.
