You Have A ChoiceBy Joel on February 24, 2012 | No Comments
Many would say that in life you do not have a choice on many things that you encounter. They will say that life will deal you whatever hand it chooses for you and you just have to deal with it. What a great existence and thought process. On the other side many people who feel this way still role with punches and try to feel that they are the ones that are making the correct choices for them and the people in their lives. If you tell the majority of people that they do not have a choice in a particular matter, they might not be happy at all and would tend to pull out of that situation. We all, no matter what we say, like to be in control.
When you are looking for a self storage unit, you should be the one who is making the decisions. You are the one that is saying that you want or do not want a self storage space. No one can talk you into renting a space month to month. All decisions you have to agree with. The manager on site is just there to help aid you to make decisions but they will not make the decision for you. So when it comes to storage versus life, you are in the driver’s seat.
Some times when it comes to self storage, there are a lot of decisions to make. The great thing about self storage is that you have more than a handful of not so complicated decisions. When a manger is listening to your situation and they are offering you their help, they might give you alternate choices. They will use alternative choices in order to help you to narrow down things to make your decision easier, but they are not the one making the ultimate decision. Alternate choices could be as simple as do you want to come down today or tomorrow. Would you like a climate controlled space or a standard space? So they are asking you these questions to help get you to the point where you can make a decision that is beneficial to your situation.
There are some people that feel that when a manager gives them an alternate choice, it is their way of controlling the sale. This is true and not true at the same time. The managers at the self storage facilities know how to interact with customers so they are trying to lead you to a conclusion. Again they are there to aid you to make a decision. The alternate choice questions are there to give you choices to help you along the process. So don’t think that the property manger is not there to help, they are there to help you make choices. Never feel that the end all decision is in the hands of the manager. What you decide to do with your self storage situation is yours. -
Time to do BusinessBy Joel on October 30, 2011 | No Comments
When you need a storage unit, it should be game time. You should be ready to go. There should not be any playing around. You have your note pad out, your internet browser open, and you are ready to do business. There are to many times in which people are calling around but they do not need storage for months to come. That is great to plan ahead, but you will have to do the same thing around the time in which you need storage. By the time you need self storage, there are elements that could be different.
It is best to shop around for storage as a serious customer. When you call in for prices, it should be time to do business. You should be ready to move in and you should have your plan of action in mind on how to get your belongings to the self storage facility. You are not calling around to get an idea on self storage, you are calling around to figure out who wants your business. Pick up the phone with that mindset.
Specials come and go. Just because there was a special when you called a couple of months ago does not mean that it will still be available. For this reason you should not be solely dependant on the special to help you out. Maybe there is something else that you need from the self storage unit. Whether it is great security, location or what not. Ensure that you are not just relying on the special to tell you where you want to rent from.
Pretty much anything that you could ever need as far as moving and storage supplies can just be picked up at the store you are renting from. Most storage facilities now pride their selves on being a one stop shop for self storage. So do not bother going to the hardware store looking for a lock or what ever else you need, just visit your local storage facility to help you out.
