Happy Friday, Store Nation!  

Welcome back to the Hacking Self Storage podcast.  

Today’s episode is all about something simple but powerful: it’s free to be nice, and being rude can cost you a whole lot more.  

This applies to both life and business. Whether it's how you treat your team, your customers, or your barista, small moments of kindness can have a huge ripple effect.

Hope you enjoy this episode.  

Please give it a listen!

Happy Wednesday, Store Nation!    

Welcome back to the Hacking Self Storage podcast.  

I'm your host, Dean Booty.    

Today, we're talking about a powerful two-step framework for evaluating team members, inspired by entrepreneur Bedros Keuilian.    

From measuring ROI to applying the GWC filter (Get it, Want it, Capacity), this is a sharp way to assess whether someone is truly right for their role.    

If you lead a team or are part of one, there’s a lot to take away.  

Hope you gain some fresh insight from this episode.  

Give it a listen!

Happy Monday, Store Nation!  

Welcome to the Hacking Self Storage podcast.  

I'm your host, Dean Booty.  

Last week was a bit of a meh week. Nothing great, but nothing too worrying either.  

Conversion rates dipped slightly, which we’ll be keeping an eye on. That said, it follows a solid few weeks overall.  

Hope you enjoy this episode.  

Give it a listen!

Good morning, Store Nation!  

Welcome back to the Hacking Self-Storage podcast.  

Today, we’re diving into the monthly figures for our Glasgow site. 

We saw our highest-ever move-ins and revenue this month, with strong quote volume backing it all up.  

But conversion rates still need work, and churn was higher than we’d like.  

Hope you enjoy the episode.  

Give it a listen.

Good morning, Store Nation!  

Welcome back to the Hacking Self-Storage podcast.  

Today, we’re reviewing the monthly figures for our Mansfield site.

Conversions were strong this time, and reservations hit an all-time high. But churn was still too high, and there’s plenty of room for improvement. 

Overall, a step in the right direction after a tough couple of months.  

Hope you enjoy the episode.  

Give it a listen.

Good morning, Store Nation!

Today I’ve got a special guest on the podcast — Adrian from Active CCTV & Surveillance. Adrian isn’t just someone I work with; he’s become a mate, and I genuinely wouldn’t use anyone else.

We chat about:

✅ What CCTV really costs for a new site ✅ Why phasing your cameras makes sense when cash is tight ✅ Mistakes I made (so you don’t have to) ✅ And why keeping your cameras up to date is more important than you might think

If you’re opening your first site or looking to improve your current setup, you’ll get loads of value from this one.

Hope you enjoy.

Give it a listen!

Good morning, Store Nation!  

Thank you for tuning in to the Hacking Self-Storage podcast.  

Today we’re looking at the monthly figures for our Beverley site.  

It was a solid month with record quotes and strong move-ins, but conversion rates still left room for improvement.  

We finished with more space occupied, steady reservations, and one of our best revenue months to date.  

Hope you enjoy the episode.  

Give it a listen.

Happy Monday, Store Nation!  

Welcome to the Hacking Self Storage podcast.  

I'm your host, Dean Booty.  

Today, we’re diving into our latest figures. Quotes were solid, move-ins were steady, and revenue held strong across all sites.  

Some sites smashed it, others still have room to grow, but overall, it was a very solid week, and there’s lots to take away.  

Hope you enjoy this episode.  

Give it a listen!

Good morning, Store Nation.  

Thank you for tuning in to the Hacking Self Storage.

Today we’re looking at Clough Road’s June figures, and what a month it was.

We hit our highest ever square footage moved in, the lowest churn in over three years, and the best net square footage increase we’ve ever recorded.

Conversions were strong, and reservations and move-ins were both the best in 13 months.

Revenue still has room to grow, but overall, it was a brilliant month for Clough Road.  

Hope you enjoy this episode.  

Please give it a listen!

Good morning, Store Nation.  

Welcome to the Hacking Self Storage podcast.

Today, we’re diving into Willerby’s June figures. It was a mixed month with plenty of positives and a few areas that need work.

Conversions were fantastic, quotes were strong, and revenue landed in our third-best month ever.

But the square footage moved in was lower than we’d like, so there’s still room to improve.  

Hope you enjoy this episode.
