Our latest TSN Conversations Unplugged podcast is ready for your listening and educational pleasure!
In this episode, Toy Storage Nation President Amy Bix poses questions about third-party management in RV and boat storage to Self Storage Consulting Group’s Greg Ellsworth, RecNation’s Kait Wojtaszek, Copper Storage Management’s Brett Copper and Sydnie Wilda of The Storage Manager. This podcast answers the following questions and more:
- What types of services can third-party management provide? Can owners pick and choose if they don’t need a full takeover over, or is it best for a third party to take over all operations?
- What are the benefits to working with third-party management and how does it differ between self-storage and RV/boat?
- What are the benefits of it regarding reporting/data for multiple facilities? Does this give you information to improve efficiencies or change how things are done?
- What are the advantages/disadvantages of remote management?
- Can they see metrics at any time? Is it tough at first for owners to give up the day-to-day? Do they need to be totally hands-off?
- How important is software in third-party management? Can it work with software the owner is already utilizing or does it need to all be swapped out for what the third-party management company utilizes? Can the software be integrated with the other technologies that may be in place for security, etc?
- Is there a benefit to having a manager on site? If so, do you believe it should be all the time or only through the lease up?
- How can working with third-party management help a facility compete with the larger brands?
