Incoming Call...

Customer

"Hi, I need a climate-controlled unit. Do you have any 10x10 units available?"

AI Receptionist

"Yes! We have Unit C-204 available—10x10 climate-controlled, $145/month. Would you like to reserve it today?"

✓ Unit Reserved • C-204

The Problem

SELF STORAGE FACILITIES
LOSE CUSTOMERS DAILY

You're losing money every day your storage units sit empty. Prospects call at midnight, no-shows waste your time, and your team can't keep up. There's a better way.

You Miss Calls When It Matters Most

Someone needs a storage unit at 11 PM, calls, and gets voicemail. By the time you check messages in the morning, they've already reserved with a competitor who answered immediately.

The Cost
$1,800/month
Lost per empty storage unit

Your Team Is Drowning in Calls

While you're showing a storage unit, three more calls come in. Gate access issues, reservation requests, pricing questions—you can't be everywhere at once. Customers get frustrated waiting, and you lose deals.

The Cost
50+ calls/day
Per facility manager

Walk-ins No-Show and You Lose Them Forever

You clear your schedule, prep the storage unit, and show up. They don't. You send one follow-up email that gets ignored. That's it—they're gone. No second chance, no recovery, just wasted time and another empty unit.
