2 Ways To Find A Self Storage Facility

• Location / Area first … Then Site

• Site First …. Then Location / Area

Today I will talk about Location First and tomorrow we will discuss Site First -

I can’t lie ….

This is my guilty pleasure … Sad I know 😳

But I LOVE IT!!! 😍

 

I open up my laptop and start searching areas of interest

IE Irvine (Yes Irvine was on my list of areas)

I start by having a look at the population ….

Then I search how many self storages are in the town

I then can gauge if the Town / City is under serviced

I then do a deeper dive and look at all the facilities in the area ...

 

Asking -

• Can I improve the offering?

• Can I out position them

• Are we better operators

• How good is their sales process

• Will my website outrank there’s

• PPC … How good are they at targeting

• Are they full

 

It’s almost like a self storage audit

Obviously, there’s more to it than that but you get the idea

You can see my step by step approach in my course ….

I literally show you my whole process, walking you through it with examples 😂

 

If the area IE Irvine passes my criteria it then goes on my “Hit List”

Hit lists are areas that I believe are under serviced and would make amazing self storage facilities

I think I have around 25 on my hit list at the minute

Ha and NO my hit list is not in the course … Sorry 🥸😂

 

Once you have the hit list you then have to find a property …

This is the painstaking bit …

It’s frustrating work and you have to patent but it’s all part of the process

 

So to find a property or land, I create relationships with local agents

I make it very clear what I’m looking for and ask them to contact me if something comes up

I also say I have a £1,000 finders fee … I want them to be motivated

I check in with the agents maybe once a month … I want them to know I’m serious

I then do my web searches with different platforms

 

If I’m serious about an area I check in 3ish times a week (only takes a few minutes)

Finding the right site takes time

Most of your work never pays off

It’s endless calls and endless searches that lead to loaddssss of dead ends … The Sexy Side Of Storage 😂

Most people give up … BUT that’s why it’s so rewarding when you find a site like a Mansfield

 

If you want me to walk you through my process … My Course is Perfect for YOU! 😍

Obviously, I’m biased … But it’s bloooooming AWESOME 😝

 

Right, Pitch done 😀 Here’s the course link …

 

If you don’t find amazing value in it I will give your money back (no questions asked)
