Effective Management Of A Self Storage Unit

The concept of storing the extra stuff in your homes and offices is fast catching up

. Given the huge amount of stuff that one wishes to store, but the dearth of space that prevents him from doing so, the concept of storing all the important things in a secure and easily accessible place is being more than welcomed. The popularity of storage units ushers in clients in huge numbers, thus making a self storage unit a place abuzz with activity. All the responsibilities tied up with such a unit warrant the need for good care and maintenance of the space at all times.

It is prudent to enlist the various day-to-day as well as monthly tasks, responsibilities and plans in a systematic manner, so that effective management can be realized. Keeping a check on the cleanliness of the place, intimating new clients of the rules and procedures followed, overlooking the moving of stuff, attending client queries on phone as well as in person, delegating work to the staff, ensuring proper delivery of stuff, and keeping a check on the cash inflow and outflow are some of the many responsibilities under the belt of the facility manager. The maintenance plans must sync with the need to have the facility function at its best. The management of the unit also entails selling the service on phone, as well as selling ancillary products and services. It is desirable that weekly reports are prepared in an organized fashion, to make sure of the progress of each task. This step, when taken care of, would go a long way in keeping every assignment in order.

Managing a large unit at times calls for the intervention of a specialist. The tasks at hand make for a busy and extremely demanding workload, which is difficult to manage by a single person. Also, managing the less important tasks will take your time and focus away from the real issues and expansion plans of your storage space. Thus, hiring a manager to deal with tasks relating to keeping a check on the cleanliness of the space, making sure there is ample stock of boxes, locks and other requisites for packing, taking steps to ensure complete security of the place, and other such chores is a really good option. Responding to internet leads and client calls is a task that can be effectively delegated to facility managers.

It is important that you define the parameters of your unit manager's responsibilities. This is how large operators focus on automating processes and limit the manager's role to tasks that are physically done on site. This can work out as a good arrangement, wherein all tasks have been assigned and timed properly.
