Welcome to the February ’06 PhoneSmart New Letter

1. PhoneSmart writes lead/reservation number 250,000

On January 24th, our rep Jeanette brought PhoneSmart over the quarter of a million mark by sending a Hot Lead to one of our client stores in Van Nuys, California. This is quite an accomplishment. Considering we wrote lead/ reservation number 200,000 in April of 2005, we are averaging better than 5,000 leads and reservations a month for our self storage clients. That amounts to a lot of rentals. Assuming average conversion rates, rental rates and lengths of stay, these 250,000 leads and reservations add up to more than $57,000,000 in revenue for our clients. These are rentals that would have most likely gone to a competitor, because PhoneSmart answered the call when the store staff was unavailable.

2. Tron Jordheim is asked to chair the Affiliated Association Council (AAC) of the Self Storage Association

In January all the affiliated associations of the SSA met in Virginia to talk about working together to further the self storage business on local, national and international levels. Tron Jordheim, the PhoneSmart director, was present as a member of the Missouri Self Storage Association and was named the Chair of the AAC group for ’06. This will be a great honor to work with the state and international association leaders on the issues of the day. If your state or national organization has not yet affiliated with the SSA, you should consider it. There are many benefits to being an affiliate and no real downside that we can think of. Look at www.selfstorage.org .

3. See us in Las Vegas at the Mandalay Bay ISS conference Feb 28-March 3, 2006

PhoneSmart will be exhibiting in the booth hall. Come by the booth and ask for your Free PhoneSmart Rocks Las Vegas T-Shirt and take home a cool new shirt! Tron Jordheim will be involved in two great sessions: “Maximizing Profits” and “Selling Self Storage”. Check the show guide for times and locations. We will also be hosting a Vendor Presentation on Friday morning where we will talk about how our sales support services help you rent more units. More info is at www.insideselfstorage.com .

4. PhoneSmart invites clients to “work the booth” in Las Vegas or Chicago

We would like to invite any of our clients to have some fun and give a few testimonials at our booth at the Inside Self Storage show in Vegas or the Self Storage Association Show in Chicago.
