2020 Operation Goals

[Amy_ISS]

What are your goals for your facility next year?

[Dave Scott]

Work to increase our visibility on the internet, and we can rent and receive payments at a higher rate than we are now. Probably use more face book coverage.

[Storman]

Increase all existing tenants to market rates
Install metal security fencing over 150' of exposed chain link
Repair and repaint 3 large buildings
Resurface interior hallway floors
Complete installation of 4 additional security cameras
Repaint interiors of vacated units as they open
Lien letters go out on anybody over 30 days late, without exception
Continue occupancy of over 96% (no more than 15 units open at any time)
Eliminate company unit, put back into inventory
Complete upgrade to all LED lighting with 2 more wall pack installations
Replace sliding chain link gate with decorative wrought iron to match others, paint
Shop business insurance carriers, look for better rate/coverage
Shop credit card processors, look for cheaper fees but with reliable software integration

And all this is paid for by getting #1 done ASAP.

Nice list Storman! It'll definitely help inspire others.

We are really going to work on marketing to our immediate area. Some little up keep issues to take care of but not much. I want this place at 90 - 95% occupancy.

Finish and release the drone photography to our website. Learn to live with vacancy rates being up because of the way better economy. Shoot for year #7, in a row, increase of total sales.

1. Replace existing gate and add additional fencing to frontage
2. Sealcoat all asphalt and repaint fire lines
3. Get all roofs repaired so I can rent units, same for door springs...just attend to all damaged units in general
4. Refinish office flooring and get my office looking as pretty as I want it
5. Paint roll up doors
6. Build more 5x5 units
7. Add online rentals
8. Put in a garden area up front for better curb appeal
9.Get my forklift cert
10. Get the mobile office units and pods refurbished for lease-up
11. Increase occupancy and street rates, which is what all of the above is for. I would love to hit 75% by end of 2020
12. Take a vacation???? I'm going to be so sore and tired from all that lol

[Storman]

That's a great list! It's good to be busy, and even more fun to see the fruits of your labors increase rentals and reviews.

Nice video from SkilCheck that includes "resolutions" for operators. Check it out and tell me what you think.

[Meauxhala]

1. Increase efficiency by improving and streamlining processes.
2. Improve online presence
3. Alter company culture to one that is more open, friendly and educational.

These are just my personal goals for the business, I'm sure that other individuals in the company have different ideas.

#1 on my list completed today. Rent increase letters/emails went out to a couple hundred customers. So far I've gotten one person that wants to prepay for a year to get the discount, and another that sent me a nice email thanking me for trying to keep the rates low for as long as I have. So far so good, and this helps unlock the rest on the list.

2 weeks in, and I've added security fencing over 150' of chain link and installed a replacement wrought iron rolling gate in place of a chain link rolling gate. 3 on my list already done. I need to pace myself, I don't want to get too much done too quickly, or else I'll demand more of myself.
