What would you do exactly?

Drive Sales Growth:

• Help customers to understand the products and services we have to offer.
• Follow-up with the ones that are still on the fence.
• Explain Lease Agreements and execute them when they are ready to move forward (yay!)

Customer Service:

• Self-Storage units is not rocket science, but some questions will come up, so it’s important to answer any questions they might have.
• Not everything is rainbows and butterflies, so helping customers with complaints is part of your duties.
• It can be hard to remember all the bills we have to pay, so Calling tenants with past due accounts is crucial.
• Other departments are also considered customers, so you have to keep clear communication with other teams.
• Provide a good customer experience so they know they can count on us!

Property Maintenance and Cleaning:

• With customers moving in and out, cleaning the units is required. Do you know that joy you feel when you enter a clean room? That’s what we want for our customers.
• Cleaning around the property and office is also part of it. This is not just for the customers; you also deserve to work in a clean environment.
• Daily walks around the property to make sure everything is working properly. As a handy person some things you will know how to fix, and for all the other ones contacting vendors to get the job done is the way to go.

Some Other things:

• Some customers like to pay with cash, so you will have to drive to the bank to make deposits.
• Some boring (or not) paperwork like auction files, tenant letters, reports and other office activities.

What do we need from you?

• You may be responsible for multiple stores and making trips to the bank so reliable transportation and a valid driver's license is required.
• A year of experience in the Storage Rental Industry would be great, but we are not picky, so if you have a couple of years in Customer Service Management, this should be an easy transition for you.
• Our schedule is a little different, so to be successful in this role you must be available during business hours Monday through Saturday, including weekends and holidays as needed. Team members work a 5-day workweek based on business needs and property schedules.
• Our properties are open Monday through Friday from 9:30 AM to 5:30 PM and Saturdays from 9 AM to 5:00 PM. Some locations are also closed on Wednesdays. All properties are closed on Sundays.
• You don’t need to be tech savvy, but computers are everywhere these days, so proficiency in Microsoft Office is necessary.
• You will be working alone or in a small team most of the time, so we hope that’s something you look forward to it.
• Cleaning and maintaining the property requires some physical activities, so make sure you are able to lift up to 50 lbs. as well as push, pull, bend and lift. Regularly walking the property is required.
