The list is long and we can’t wait to share the details with Franchisees very soon.
Self Storage Profit Centers – Locks & Boxes
This month’s staff training was on locks and boxes. Sounds like small potatoes. But big profits are made by being good at a lot of profit centers. Just learning and implementing one a month for a year is an extra 6 figure income.
What is the best way to implement profit centers for maximum profits? The best way is to have Scripts for each one.
Here is our New Script For Storage Genie App that helps us rent more units:
Our Storage Geni phone App provides easy hands-free access. You don’t have to worry about hitting the entrance keypad and you don’t even have to take your phone out of your pocket.
And you get our incredible Storage Geni app for just $4.99/month. Pause And if you rent today I will give it to you free for life.
The Economy & Self Storage Rates
Many things are heading back to pre COVID 19 levels. This can be seen with this chart on new Mortgages, an important indicator for self-storage.
Now is not the time to get into the COVID 19 syndrome I see some self-storage owners falling into: “Because of COVID 19, I need to reduce rates or give a discount, waive late fees or defer payments.”
In the last recession (2009) the self storages that did just the opposite and expected to get paid did the best.

Development & Construction Tips and Reminders
Land:
How many people are you asking if they know anyone who has 5 acres of land on a main street? Set yourself s goal. We find half our land offline.
Are you spending 3 hours every Saturday or Sunday driving down the main roads you scouted on Radius looking for land?
We are developing a new web/social marketing presents that will allow landowners to find us if they have land in areas where new franchisees are looking for a property!
Conversions:
As noted above a lot of the economy is improving quickly but some areas are not. And I bet new commercial development is not one of them. Which means better land prices.
The Office
The Office and Entrance is a key component of any self-storage because this is the potential renters’ first impression of a facility. And first impressions are huge in self-storage.
What’s holding you back? You can do it! You deserve it!
