Self Storage Insight -

I was having a conversation with my awesome friend Dave Davies yesterday and I wanted to share that insight with you!

We were talking about how self storage operators can increase their lets

Dave had loads of thoughts as you would expect :-)

One thing he did say really stood out … He asked me -

How long does it take to get back to your prospect when they do an online quote?

For me the maximum time should never exceed 10 minutes

Dave 100% agreed … HOWEVER!

He asked me do I ever mystery shop my own facility … I said NO

Dave went on to say that I would be really surprised how many storage operators take hours to get back to their prospects … He does mystery shop day in day out!

This is such a massive mistake!!! It shocked me!!

When you get a quote you need to act immediately .... Your prospect is engaged right there and then ... dont miss this opportunity!

So my message to operators today is … Mystery shop your facility

You need to treat your prospects and quotes like gold dust

Ask yourself how would YOU like to be treat … You wouldn’t want to wait hours before someone got back to you … We want the information right there and then

Ring the customer as soon as humanly possible … As if your business relies on it … Because it does!
