Here at the StorageMart location on Northwest Prairie View, we like the fact that we are considered a very friendly staff. We can say that we try to know everyone that we come in contact with and try to address them by their first name. We always answer the phone with our names, so we always ask the customer for their name upfront. We believe this will help us build rapport for the conversation that is to come.
There will be people that will call our Kansas City storage facility that will not want to give us their name up front. We do not want to press the issue, but we do like to know who we are talking to. This is especially true when the customer is calling us by our first name and then they do not give us their name. We believe that a friendly introduction is always good when trying to conduct business. Some people believe that it is an invasion of privacy. There is no mistaken that people will not say we are not a friendly facility.
There are people that call around to different Kansas City Storage facilities and they will not be received with a smiling face. We believe that when the start of a business transition is going to take place, then the customer feels comfortable doing business. No one wants to be pressured or feel like from the beginning to the end of the transaction it is an emotionless time. Hopefully most people we come in contact with will see that we are just trying to introduce ourselves then move on to regular business.
All of his life Greg had heard how much he looked like a cartoon character. There was a popular show on television and Greg looked just like on of the characters. Random people would always come up to him and ask him to do the voice for his character. It used to bother him, but he is use to it by now.
On this cartoon the main character drives around in a van. Greg had always thought that it would be cool to get a van just like the one in the cartoon. It would just enhance the perception. So he began to search for a van like the one from the cartoon. It took him a while to find one, but he eventually did.
He bought the van and moved it into a Kansas City Car Storage unit. He was going to save up enough money to get it painted to resemble the cartoon version. It took him a few months to save up, but eventually he got what he waned.
He brought all his friends down to the Kansas City Car Storage unit to see the unveiling of the finished van. They all had a good laugh about him doing something crazy like this. They laughed even harder when he came out in an outfit that they cartoon character usually wore. With the van painted, and him dressed as the part, he really did look like the twin of the cartoon. He planned to drive it down to the mall later on and see if anyone thought it was Greg or an actor.
Today in Mrs. Schmit class they were going to learn about different types of storage. Everything from small containers that you use to store food in, to huge airplane hangers where planes are stored when they are not flying. She had all different types of pictures to show and she even had a guest speaker. Mrs. Schmit had contacted a local Kansas City storage company and the manager had agreed to come and speak to the class about the types of storage that they offered, as well as different reasons why people need storage.
The kids were all excited to be doing something fun and new. It was not the same thing every day with Mrs. Schmit and they loved that about her. Every year when school was starting all the kids coming into the forth grade hoped that they would be in her class.
They stated the class talking about the small containers around their house and what types of things they store in them. Then they all came to the listening circle to sit on the floor and hear the manager speak. He told them about the different types of storage like Kansas City Moving Storage . He ended his talk with some of the strange requests that they had for storage. Things like live animals, and people wanting to live inside the units. The children were all well behaved and listened to his speak.
At the end of the day Mrs. Schmit asked the children what their favorite part of the day were. Most of them said listening to the manager talk about Kansas City Moving Storage .
Pattie was sitting out on her deck drinking her coffee before heading off to work. She had to bring a blanket out with her this morning because it was a little cold, but she was not going to let that stop her from sitting in her chair and drinking her morning coffee. She loved to take this moment to relax before the day began.
It had been getting colder every morning and she knew that soon she was going to have to move the patio furniture to her Kansas City Furniture Storage unit soon. She loved her furniture so when the winter came she moved it indoors so that it would not be sitting in the snow and cold of the Missouri winters.
Pattie waited one more week until she moved her patio set to the Kansas City Furniture Storage facility. When the blanket and coffee were no longer enough to keep her warm in the morning she knew it was time to put it away for the winter.
She had a little breakfast nook on the side of her kitchen that she drank her coffee at in the winter. She had a bird feeder that she hung out the window and she liked to watch the birds feed and look at the snow when it eventually came. It was not as nice as sitting outside, but it was not a bad view.
Soon it would be the spring time again and she would be back outside with her coffee. Her favorite time of year.
Emma was moving from a small town in the boot hill of Missouri to Kansas City. It was so different from where she came from that it took her a while to adjust. She was not use to having the so many options. There were so many restaurants for her to choose from sometimes Emma had a hard time deciding where to eat. Back in her home town there were two apartment complexes. If you were going to live in town those were your options. When Emma first decided to move to Kansas City she had two pages of apartment complexes to look into.
When Emma was living in her home town there was one storage company if you needed extra space. When Emma decided to look into Kansas City Local Storage she could not believe all of the options available to her. It took her an hour just to look at the units in her price range.
When she found the Kansas City Local Storage unit that had everything that she was looking for she was happy to have found one that was still close to her apartment. She was not sure where it was exactly, but she knew where the street was so she set out with her boxes to find the location.
Thanks to the great sign that they had by the road she was able to see it before she got to the turn. She went in to the office and the manager was very helpful in getting her into a five by five unit. Choices are nice to have, but it is nice when you choose and are done.

Orion knew that it was time to make a change in her life. For the past two years she had been running and hiding from life. No more hiding she decided. It was time to clean out all of the things that she had been holding on to and keeping in her house. Her mother had passed away two years ago and instead of dealing with it in a healthy way, Orion put everything in the garage and refused to go near the door.
She decided that it was time to deal with the boxes and furniture left from her mom house. It was the first time that she had opened the door in two years. She took a deep breath and walked in. it was tough to begin, but eventually she found that it was not as painful as she thought. That first day she managed to sort through a large portion of the boxes. She made two different stacks, one for the things she wanted to keep, and one for things that she had no attachment to and was going to take to the second hand store in town. She was proud of the progress that she had made.
When she was all done cleaning out the garage she was happy that the pile to donate was larger than the pile that she was keeping. Some of the furniture that she kept she used in her house. The remaining furniture and a few pieces from her house she moved into a Kansas City Storage unit.
Orion knew that her mom would be so proud of the way that she had finally decided to live her life again. She knew that she would not just leave everything hiding away in her Kansas City Storage unit anymore.
Kim could not have been more surprised when her husband Joe suggested they stop at the furniture store on their way home from dinner and look at new living room furniture. He did not like shopping and the last few times they bought any new furniture she had picked it out by herself.
Kim and Joe walked into the furniture store and Joe began talking to the sales man who came to help them about needing new living room furniture. Kim was so speechless she just followed along behind Joe and the salesman. Joe picked out a beautiful love seat and sofa set. He also picked new end tables and a coffee table. The furniture store offered free delivery and Joe set up the delivery date for the end of the week.
When they got back to the car Joe explained that he wanted to store the furniture in their living room now for the summer and give it to their daughter Beth who was getting married at the end of the summer. Kim held back her tears and told him what a lovely idea it was.
The next day Kim set out to find a Kansas City Household Storage unit for the summer. Their furniture was only four years old and with the kids grown and not in the house much it was in great condition. Kim called around to the storage companies close to her house and found a location that had just what she was looking for.
She drove down to have a look at the Kansas City Household Storage facilities unit, and found that it was exactly what they needed. They moved the old furniture into storage and the new furniture into their house. Beth was so amazed by her parents generous gift.
In order to follow up with the customer after they have inquired about Kansas City storage facilities we usually want to get their name and number. We cannot think of any other way in order to follow up with the customer. It is good for us to build a relationship with the caller by introducing ourselves to them and to be able have the customer to trust us. We pride ourselves on being able to adapt to any situation the customer might through at us or some offer another Kansas City storage facilities would offer. We do not feel that is much a customer can say that will prevent them from renting with us.
So in order to ensure that the customer has all the information that they need to make the best choice we get their name and number and try calling them back occasionally. We do not want to be overbearing or pushy, we simply want to present the best scenario for them to want to rent. When customers trust us with their name and number they are telling us in a small way that they trust us. With that trust built we can take it one more step each time we talk to them. We can maybe ask them next what it would take for them to reserve a space. We obtain the name and number because we want to ensure we document our discussion.
When Josh and Karen began struggling financially the one thing that they tried to keep up most on was their house payment. They had their electricity shut off for a few days, but they managed it. They had no phone at the moment but they were managing.
All of the struggles were putting a strain on the marriage. They were both scarred and worried, which led to fighting. They both were trying to find more work, but there was just nothing available to them.
After struggling to survive for so long when Karens job began laying off people their struggles ended. Their home was foreclosed on Karen and Josh began to look for a new home.
Josh found them a one bedroom apartment that they could afford. What they could not move into the tiny apartment they moved into a Kansas City storage facilities unit that they had found.
Being in the apartment was a little easier for them. Sure they did not have a lot of space, but they were no longer struggling each month to pay their bills. They began to work on their marriage to make it strong again.
At the end of the year Karen was able to find a new job. They did move into a bigger apartment, but it was one that they could easily afford. They still used the Kansas City storage facilities unit because they still had all of the possessions of a home owner, but for now they were happier in the apartment.
