Also BTW I thought Storage Commander was totally fine as a platform (I liked the EOD reports function) but considering we were in lease up mode we had to make the switch. I think if our facility was more stabilized we would probably stay (it has been a lot of headache migrating over to the new sy... -
Clarkstoragellc just looked and looks like we arent in there yet or we are way down the list of 112 listings. Contacted support and complained and will see where we show up....Leave a comment:

On a side note, I was contacted by Sparefoot to get access to manage our Google My Business listing. Wondering is there any downside to this? I was curious whether leads that might organically get directed to us by Google would now get captured by Sparefoot and we get stuck paying a commission for...Leave a comment:

Update to the marketing. I talked with Sparefoot and I asked how do I increase our ranking and they said it's common to pay more of a commission. We are already at 1.5mo rent and they said if we go to 3-4 mo it will help a lot. My eyeballs fell out of my head.

I'm all new to this biz but one thing I realized is it is a tricky position to fill.

we are getting used to it but the software is really clunky and the employees (and myslef hate it). seems like any little thing will cause it to freeze or require you to start over. Either way, the UHaul guy was very eager to see us ramp up into more trucks and I think we are going to stick with only...Leave a comment:

Clarkstoragellc man totally appreciate this. Can't thank you enough. Glad to hear the Sparefoot recommended issue. I couldn't quite figure out their algo for locating certain facilities at the top and looks like I'll just have to work through it. I have a call with Sparefoot next week and hopefully...Leave a comment:

Clarkstoragellc what you said makes sense regarding UHaul. I'm still in the optimistic camp of 'stirring up activity' per your 10E comment.
The vacant units are pretty much spread out from 4 x 6 to bigger ones at 8 x 10 (don't ask why we have these wonky sizes - I just put up standard...Leave a comment:
