Even Self Storage Needs Storage

Does your self storage business need a storage unit? I know PhoneSmart shares a few storage units with our parent company, StorageMart. Located in the same building as StorageMart’s corporate headquarters, we all acquire boxes of stuff we think we might need someday and file cabinets full of last year’s paperwork. I’m sure we’ve contributed a few broken cubicles or office chairs with only one arm.

It’s probably more often that things go in than they ever come out again. Recently, we decided it was time to clear out the clutter. The office looked much bigger when the posterboards weren’t stuffed behind the filing cabinet and the corner in the hallway didn’t have boxes piled up. Although our callers on the phone never see us, having an organized working space will filter through into our phone conversations.

A rep with some elbow room is much happier than one crunched between old air conditioning units and boxes of broken telephones. Deciding what to discard versus what you should put into storage is sometimes obvious, but other times it might be a toss up. Ask yourself if there’s value in keeping it and why you might need it again. (Will you even remember you have it?)
