  • Info on Markham Storage Units
    By admin on August 6, 2010 | No Comments Comments

    There is an overwhelming amount of information to know about Markham storage units and you have come to the right place to find out about it. The first thing that you will want to become familiar with is all of the different terms that you will encounter when you are looking around for storage. The first has to do with the different unit types that are available for you. The most convenient space is generally considered to be the drive up access space. With these spaces, you can just drive up to the space in order to load and unload. It really could not be any simpler. There are also units that are inside units meaning you would need to enter a building to access the space. If you have every lived in an apartment, you have had to move stuff in a similar manner.

    In addition to the inside first floor units, there are some Markham storage units that are going to be on the second floor and above. Most sites will offer elevator access in order to get to the upper floors so you do not have to carry anything upstairs. However, you should not assume that they have elevators. You should ask the manager if they have them when you make the initial call for prices. At the very least, they should have a freight elevator for your stuff and then you would walk up the stairs to get to the second floor. The inside units, and particularly the upstairs units, are going to be less money per month than the drive up spaces. There are exceptions to this rule.

    There are Markham storage units that are climate controlled and they will tend to cost more than a standard space. So you could have a standard drive up space potentially cost less than an inside unit if it was a climate controlled space. Climate controlled spaces are kept at room temperature year round. That way, they are heated in the winter and cooled in the summer. They are essential if you are looking to store many types of electronics, such as flat screen tvs and computer stuff. They are also good for leather furniture and many types of antiques. Ask the manager if he would recommend a climate controlled space when you go to see the property.

    When looking for Markham storage units in your area, you may run into many different types of move in specials. The first month may be free or some Markham storage units offer the first month for one dollar. Either way, make sure to inquire about additional costs that are associated with getting set up. There could be admin fees or deposits or locks so there is more to it than a free month. Some sites offer a move in special of thirty dollars for everything. This may be the better value if you do the math. Some sites will offer a discount on the first few months. You may find a special that is half price for the first three months or something like that. No matter what the special is, make sure that you are not getting signed up for a long term contract. Request that you remain on a plan that is just month to month. Good luck in the search.

  • Overcoming Objections With Calgary Self Storage Facil...
    By admin on August 5, 2010 | No Comments Comments

    The biggest thing that a Calgary self storage manager has to do be able to do is overcome objections that the customer may give to them. It is true that the Calgary self storage manager has a lot on their plate, such as keeping the facility clean, managing the occupancy level, advertising and many other tasks. On top of those duties they need to be very good sales people. Depending on the management of the Calgary self storage facilities, the owner might not want the manger at the location to do much selling. They might want the manager to be more of the storage informant or a good customer service representative. Depending on the market, that might actually work, but in the competitive market of self storage, the manager will need to ensure that they can handle how to overcome an objection from a customer.

    It is natural that many people will not just feel comfortable deciding to rent on the spot or reserving a storage unit on the spot. The customer will want time to do a couple of things. They will want time to consult their spouse to ensure that they are making the right decision and also to ensure that they actually do want to use a Calgary self storage facility. Sometimes the customers are close to making that decision but they are really not close to needing storage right now so they are not going to say yes when suggesting they rent now. 

    It would seem as though many people are not in a hurry as they once were. They do not want to make the impulse decision to rent right now. When a manager tells them that they only have one storage space left on their Calgary self storage facility, the customer will say they will go somewhere that has a space open for them to use. For customer might actually need a space right now and they tell the manager that fact, but they will not be pressured to rent now when they still want to check the prices elsewhere. The customer feels they know their situation the best and they will allow the manager to help them but they still want to make the decision on their own.

    So what the manager has to understand that no matter what, there will be a number of people that will not rent no matter what is being thrown at them. The Calgary self storage managers have to follow the steps of how to overcome an objection very closely and they will be very surprised on what they find. They will find that a customer will change their mind a large percentage of the time when executed correctly. First the manager needs to ask as many questions that will get the customer to say yes as in is the location convenient, the size is found, and they have the availability the customer desires. Next the manger needs to truly understand the situation of the customer first. When they understand the needs of the customer, they are able really determine if their facility can assist them. Then when it comes time to reserve of offer to begin the paperwork, the customer will either say yes or give some reason they cannot at this time. Understand truly what they are saying no to. When that is discovered, you can let them know you understand, but here is an option to consider. Present it to the customer in a way that you are trying to help and not trying to pressure. Practice always makes perfect. Overcoming objections is a key element to getting business.
