On June 21, the Texas and Georgia Self Storage Associations will co-sponsor a live webinar, "Motivating Managers for Monster Performance," which will help to improve the performance of self-storage facility operators. Taught by industry expert Anne Ballard, the online seminar will take place from 10 a.m. to 11: 15 a.m. CDT, including 15 minutes for Q&A. The cost is $25 per connection for association members and $50 for non-members.
"Monster performance" refers to a manager's ability to meet and exceed sales and marketing goals, hit facility budgeting target, and provide great customer service. During this webinar, Ballard will explain how to guide self-storage managers toward greater performance and profit. She'll discuss:
- The fundamental traits displayed by "monster" performers

- Methods to get commitment from employees on controlling expenses
- Three important performance measurements: traffic generation, closing ratios and box sales
