Miami FL- August 1, 2008

Are you looking for your next Super Star?

Are you are looking for your next big challenge?

Having the right people doing the right job is crucial to the success of any business. Having a job that gives each day meaning is crucial to everyone’s mental health. Having the ability to match these two needs up is a win-win situation for everyone involved. Over the past few years most industry sectors have developed their own niche career websites where employers post their openings and candidates post their resumes. One sector that up till now never harnessed the power of the internet is Self Storage.

The Self Storage sector is now being served by the website Storage Career Center. ‘The storage industry is composed of mostly small operators and notoriously fragmented’ stated Bill Miller, President of Self Storage Management, a Fort Lauderdale, FL based consultancy and Management Company. ‘While determining what services are needed for the industry we came upon the utter lack of any central repository to bring candidates and employers together.’ he added.

This discovery led to the creation of Storage Career Center . ‘We all know the success the major job websites have enjoyed. Because of this success, much of what we created for the Self Storage niche is modeled after them. An employer not only lists their openings, but they can search our on-line resume bank by keyword, geographic area and experience levels to zero in on the candidate who best suits them. They can also choose to manage contacts by having candidates directly contact them, or use our on-line system. Our on-line system eliminates the cluttered inbox of an employer and puts all communications in one central location for ease of use and efficiency.’

A candidate using Storage Career Center is able to create searches and have updates emailed to them when a position matching their criteria is posted. They can use their private area to save positions they are interested in while they do further investigation about the company. A user can either upload their current resume, or use the unique ‘resume wizard’ to create a brand new one. The wizard makes creating a resume painless and formats the resume in 6 different styles. The candidate can then publish to the website, and can download for their personal use.

‘We are excited about the technology used on the site and being able to create a solution that has been sorely missing in the Self Storage industry. Initial response from both employers and candidates has been extremely positive.’ Mr. Miller stated. ‘Bringing Super Star candidates and employers together is our goal. A goal where everyone wins.’

Miami FL- June 1, 2007

It was announced today Self Storage Management has been formed. Self Storage Management was formed by Bill Miller to serve the self storage industry in a wide array of services. These services include market studies all the way to day to day operations of a location. “I have taken my 12 years of multi unit and executive management experience and packaged programs to help local and regional operators perform at, or above, the level of the national companies.” Said Mr. Miller. “The company is a member of the industry national trade associations as well as those serving the state of FL”.

This packaging of services has led to several innovative approaches. Mr. Miller explains “The majority of the management companies serving the industry charge the owner a percentage of gross revenues. We believe the owner hires us to do a job and managing the revenue to the most profitable levels is part of what we are hired to do. We do not need an additional financial incentive to do our job. So, we charge a flat monthly fee and the owner gets to enjoy the additional profit without the need to share any with us. We also offer the unheard of unconditional guarantee. What this means is if the owner is unhappy, and we cannot make it right, they can fire us without any consequences. It is written right into our contracts.”

Self Storage Management also deploys proprietary revenue management programs that adjust rates on a constant basis. “The hotel and airline industries have been using this type revenue maximization approach for decades. We are bringing it to self storage in a big way. By adhering to our programs a location can see as much as an 8% growth in storage revenue without any gains in occupancy.” Mr. Miller stated while explaining this innovative program.

The offices for Self Storage Management are located at 16210 Laurel Drive, Suite 103, Weston FL 33326. The phone is 954-336-3947 and toll free is 866-411-2376.
