×Truth: If potential renters aren’t answering your calls or emails, it’s because your follow-up process is broken. Most storage owners assume a lead that doesn’t rent right away wasn’t serious—but the real issue is lack of follow-up. People get busy. They compare options. And the facility that stays in front of them wins the rental. In this episode of 3 Minutes with 3 Mile , Jim shares how to fix your follow-up process so leads stop ghosting you—and start converting. Want my Self Storage Follow-Up Script to start converting more leads today? Email jim@3milestorage.com with the subject line “Send Me the Follow-Up Script”, and I’ll send it to you for free. 📞 Book a free consultation: https://www.3milestorage.com…
Truth: AI isn’t coming—it’s already here. And the storage owners who embrace it will have the advantage. The biggest operators are already using AI for call handling, follow-ups, pricing, and customer support. If you’re still doing things manually, you’re falling behind. In this episode of 3 Minutes with 3 Mile , Jim shares how AI is transforming self storage—and how you can start using it today to make more money and work less.

Truth: If your storage business doesn’t run on systems, it runs on guesswork—and that’s costing you time and money. Many owners rely on memory and manual effort to keep things moving. But without clear, repeatable systems, things fall through the cracks—calls go unanswered, fees don’t get applied, and revenue stays inconsistent. In this episode of 3 Minutes with 3 Mile , Jim breaks down how to stop winging it and start running a storage business that’s built to scale.

Truth: The best self storage operators don’t wait for problems to show up—they constantly refine, adjust, and improve. Most owners only make changes when something breaks. But if you want consistent growth in revenue and occupancy, improvement has to be a daily habit—not a one-time fix. In this episode of 3 Minutes with 3 Mile , Jim explains how top operators stay ahead by always testing, tracking, and evolving.

Truth: The way your manager handles the first phone call determines whether a customer rents with you—or your competitor. Most self storage managers answer the phone but don’t actually know how to close the deal. If they’re just giving out prices without creating urgency or asking for the rental, that customer is gone. In this episode of 3 Minutes with 3 Mile , Jim shares the simple phone tactics that turn more calls into move-ins—without being pushy.

Truth: Curb appeal isn’t just about looks—it determines whether a customer walks in or drives to the next facility. First impressions happen before a tenant ever talks to your manager. If your facility looks rundown, messy, or outdated, potential renters will assume your service is the same. A clean, well-maintained property builds trust and attracts more walk-ins. In this episode of 3 Minutes with 3 Mile , Jim shares the most common curb appeal mistakes and how to fix them fast to win more customers on the spot. Want my Self Storage Curb Appeal Checklist to make sure your facility always makes a great first impression? Email jim@3milestorage.com with the subject line “Send Me the Curb Appeal Checklist”, and I’ll send it to you for free. 📞 Book a free consultation: https://www.3milestorage.com…
Truth: If you’re not actively collecting reviews, your competitors are winning before a customer even calls you. When potential tenants search “storage near me,” they don’t just compare prices—they compare reputations. If your competitor has 100+ five-star reviews and you have 12 mediocre ones, they’re going to trust the other guy. In this episode of 3 Minutes with 3 Mile , Jim breaks down the review mistakes that drive renters away—and the simple review strategy that brings them in.

Truth: If you’re not charging for add-ons like locks, admin fees, or tenant insurance, you’re leaving easy money on the table. Most self storage owners focus on rental rates to grow revenue. But the most profitable operators know that ancillary income—small fees and product sales—can add thousands to the bottom line without needing more tenants. In this episode of 3 Minutes with 3 Mile , Jim shares the top missed revenue opportunities and how to start capturing more profit from every rental.

Email jim@3milestorage.com with the subject line “Send Me the Revenue Guide”, and I’ll send it to you for free. 📞 Book a free consultation: https://www.3milestorage.com…
Truth: If tenants don’t feel their belongings are safe, they won’t just move out—they’ll tell others to avoid your facility. Most self storage owners focus on occupancy and pricing. But if your property doesn’t feel secure, even satisfied tenants will second-guess their decision. And perception matters—small security lapses can cost you long-term customers. In this episode of 3 Minutes with 3 Mile , Jim shares how to spot and fix common security mistakes that affect tenant trust—and your bottom line. Want my Self Storage Security Checklist to make sure your facility feels safe to every tenant? Email jim@3milestorage.com with the subject line “Send Me the Security Checklist”, and I’ll send it to you for free. 📞 Book a free consultation: https://www.3milestorage.com…
Truth: Customers don’t choose the cheapest storage facility—they choose the most convenient one. Most self storage owners think price is the biggest factor in renting a unit. But the real deal-breaker is how easy—or hard—you make it to rent. If your process is clunky, slow, or manual, customers will find a facility that makes it simple. In this episode of 3 Minutes with 3 Mile , Jim shares how to eliminate friction in your rental process so you can win more tenants—even against lower-priced competitors.

Truth: Keeping your storage rates the same for too long isn’t helping tenant retention—it’s quietly killing your profits. Many self storage owners avoid raising rates because they’re afraid of losing tenants. But the real risk is letting your margins shrink while your competitors grow. In this episode of 3 Minutes with 3 Mile , Jim shares why smart operators raise rates the right way—and how to do it without pushback or move-outs.

Truth: If your Google Business Profile isn’t updated and optimized, you’re invisible to potential renters. Most self storage owners think having a website is enough. But when customers search “storage near me,” Google decides who shows up first—and it’s not random. If your competitor has optimized their profile and you haven’t, they’re getting the call. You’re not. In this episode of 3 Minutes with 3 Mile , Jim breaks down the top mistakes self storage owners make with their Google listing—and how to fix them fast to start getting more rentals.

Truth: Tenants don’t leave because of price—they leave because they feel ignored. Most self storage owners assume move-outs happen after rate increases. But the reality is, tenants are willing to pay more—if they feel taken care of. In this episode of 3 Minutes with 3 Mile , Jim breaks down the 3 biggest tenant experience mistakes that push customers away—and the simple fixes that increase retention without lowering rates. What You’ll Learn: Why ignoring tenants is worse than raising rates The 3 most common customer service failures in self storage How to build loyalty with fast response times and clear communication The easiest way to make your property feel well-managed and secure Want my Self Storage Retention Guide to keep tenants longer and reduce move-outs?

If your marketing is focused on “brand awareness” instead of generating leads, you’re wasting money. Most self storage owners think marketing means getting their name out there—running ads, sponsoring events, or posting on social media without a clear strategy. But here’s the truth: 🚨 Awareness doesn’t rent units—lead generation does. If your marketing isn’t making the phone ring or driving online rentals, it’s just noise. In this episode of 3 Minutes with 3 Mile , I’ll show you the biggest marketing mistakes storage owners make—and how to fix them to get real results. What You’ll Learn: Why Google beats social media for storage marketing How to track your marketing so you stop wasting money The simple website fix that converts more leads into rentals 📩 Want my Self Storage Marketing Checklist?

Self storage owners—customers will pay higher rates if they believe they’re getting more value. Most owners hesitate to raise rates because they’re afraid of losing tenants. But here’s the truth: People don’t leave over small price increases. They leave when they feel like they’re overpaying for a bad experience. Your competitors are already raising rates—and still filling units. The key isn’t price—it’s perceived value. In this episode of 3 Minutes with 3 Mile , I’ll show you how to raise rates the right way—without pushing tenants out. What You’ll Learn: Why tenants accept rent increases when they see value The three factors that make people willing to pay more A step-by-step strategy to increase rates without losing customers 📩 Want my Self Storage Rate Increase Script?

The most expensive thing at your self storage facility isn’t your property, payroll, or marketing—it’s your empty units. Every vacant unit is lost recurring revenue, yet many storage owners don’t realize how much money they’re leaving on the table. For example: 📌 If your average unit rent is $150/month and you have 10 empty units, that’s $1,500 lost every month—or $18,000 per year from just 10 vacancies. Now multiply that by 20 or 30 units... See the problem? In this episode of 3 Minutes with 3 Mile , I’ll show you why units stay empty—and the simple steps to fill them faster. What You’ll Learn: The real cost of empty units (and how much you’re losing) The three biggest reasons your vacancies aren’t filling How to fix your pricing, online rental process, and marketing to attract more renters 📩 Want my Self Storage Occupancy Playbook?

If you’re not charging (or enforcing) late fees, you’re losing thousands in revenue every year. Many self storage owners hesitate to enforce late fees because they don’t want to upset tenants. But here’s the truth: Late fees aren’t about punishment—they’re about behavior. If you don’t enforce them, tenants have no reason to pay on time, leading to more delinquencies and costly auctions. In this episode of 3 Minutes with 3 Mile , I’ll break down the biggest late fee mistakes and how to fix them to increase your cash flow immediately. What You’ll Learn: Why inconsistent or waived late fees cost you money How to automate late fees so they’re applied every time The simple way to reduce delinquent accounts and improve cash flow 📩 Want my Self Storage Late Fee Policy Template?

If you’re not optimizing your Google Business Profile, you’re handing customers to your competitors. Most self storage owners focus on ads and promotions, but when people need storage, the first thing they do is Google "storage near me."

If your self storage facility isn’t filling up, it’s not just a marketing problem—it’s a follow-up problem.
