Self-storage is a highly manger-centric business. There are few business models in which the success or failure of the business is so clearly and intricately intertwined with the manager's skills, personality, customer-service attitude and common sense. Professional self-storage managers need three primary skills to succeed: sales, collections and time management. In his book, author Bob Copper discusses all three in detail, helping managers to succeed at the highest levels of performance. Readers will learn how to rent more space, collect more money and get it all done in an efficient manner through this comprehensive yet simple-to-understand book.

Topics include:

  • Why self-storage managers fail to succeed
  • Characteristics of a successful manager
  • Customer motivations
  • Why you need and how to create an effective sales presentation
  • Why collections are important
  • Types of collections calls
  • Steps to effective collections
  • Documenting collections efforts
  • Effective time-management skills and tools
  • Time-management exercises

The workbook is a companion training tool facility operators can use as part of their own in-house training program. It walks the facility manager through the tools for operational success in an easy-to-understand manner.
