Self Storage Tip - 💡 💰 🤑

Birds fly 🦅

Fish swim 🐟 …

And deals fall through ❌

This is from Shaan on My First Million Podcast

This is exactly the same as a reservation … a reservation isn’t a move in until they have physically moved in

Be prepared for up to 30% of your reservations to cancel or just expire

Don’t get me wrong this is a very high percentage … We aim for less than 10% of our reservations to cancel or expire

(Some people in the industry are much lower BTW ✌️)

My one advice to get this percentage lower is to get the customer to commit …

For a customer to commit I like to take their card information …

Some people take a deposit … This will work and keep the percentage low but it also may be a barrier that stops the customer reserving

So my advice is to take as much information from the customer as possible at the point of reservation … Name, Address, email, Bank Card, ID etc

The more information we get from that customer the more committed they are and the less likely they are to be a no show.

Remember don’t count your chickens too early 🐥😅
