Storage Asset MGMT
Storage Asset MGMT
Shop Scenario:
• Visit solo or with one adult guest. Children not permitted.
• You must follow the establishment’s requirements for Covid protocols, if applicable.
• You must verify the location is open and meet all client requirements outlined below
• You MUST take a tour of the property UNLESS there are extenuating circumstances which would prevent this from happening. IF you
arrive and no one is there (very unlikely), you MUST call and speak with someone to see how it's handled.
Client Objective:
You will be calling AND visiting your assigned location and inquiring about renting a space for storage. Allow the sales associate to ask qualifying
questions to determine your needs. MUST have a scenario in mind prior to your visit (see Shop Details below). During call, if it does not appear that
a tour will be offered, you must ask to look at a unit. If you are told that no units are available, please ask when they may be and say you may come
by to take a look anyway. You MUST still visit and tour, even if no units are currently available.
Key Observations/Elements:
• Visit client’s website: http://storageassetmanagement.com/ - familiarize yourself with the establishment AND verify hours*
*Locations may close during lunch hours, avoid calling/visiting between 1:30-2PM
• Pre-Visit Call and Onsite Tour required
• Obtain staff member names. Name tags not required, must ask their name(s).

mark questions ‘N/A’

Pre-Visit Call:
RECORDED – to record your call, you will initiate your call from your event online. You must ensure you have reached the location and not the call
center. If your call rolls to the automated greeting recording (click link to listen to Call Center Greeting), you have been transferred to the call
center and need to try your call again. All calls should be during open, business hours and must be at least 4 hours apart. On the first two attempts,
you must ensure you have reached the location and not the customer care center (call center). Press 1 for English (or 2 for Spanish). Press 1 again to
speak to the store manager. ON THE FIRST TWO ATTEMPTS: If the store manager does not answer, hang up and call again later. ON THE THIRD
ATTEMPT: If the store manager does not answer, select option to speak to Customer Care Center representative.
• Assess phone efficiency and skill of the sales associate. Let the staff member guide the conversation by asking you questions.
• DO NOT start the call by saying what size storage you are interested in. Most people do not know what specific size unit they need.
• Start simple - “I am looking for a storage unit,” or, “I just wanted to get some pricing for storage.”
• Be prepared to answer questions about what or how much you need to store.
• DO NOT indicate a mystery shopper is coming NOR follow up on the subject of your call when you arrive, unless brought up by them
Photo requirements
= 1 photo of the exterior of the building with signage showing address (to show you have visited the correct location)
**IMPORTANT: This photo may ONLY be taken AFTER your tour, as you are leaving the location. DO NOT take the photo in view of the staff,
as this WILL identify you as a shopper.
Contact Information/Follow-up:

ADDRESS AND PHONE NUMBER to the sales associate.
• During your on-site tour, if asked, you should provide an accurate phone number and email address. Do not decline to provide a phone
