Join us for this essential webinar exploring how to keep your self storage facility operating at its best long term.

Do you ever wish you had a clone to answer your business calls when you're off the clock? In this session, Tom Hornby from Spare Space Storage shares how he built an AI phone agent to handle customer calls when he’s unavailable - including evenings, weekends, and those inconvenient moments when it isn’t practical to take a call. Tom believes that reaching voicemail when contacting a business can mean the difference between getting a booking, or your competitor taking the business.

Automation is the new buzz word in self storage and clever automation can save you money and improve the customer experience, but sometimes a human touch is better than a machine.

Practical steps for self storage operators to build an automated follow-up system that closes more bookings and increases revenue, without adding to your marketing budget. It’s about managing the low-hanging fruit, plugging the leaks in your sales funnel, and ensuring no opportunity slips through the cracks.

If you’re scratching your head wondering what Google Ads is all about; or it’s already a big chunk of your marketing budget but not convinced it’s working as well as it could, then this session is for you.
