PhoneSmart brings real results from even only a few missed calls

One of our clients that uses us to answer calls when the staff people are unavailable has five self storage properties in a medium sized mid western college town. Their offices are generally open from 8:30 am to 5:30 pm Monday through Friday. They are closed on the weekends.

In a twelve month period we created approximately $141,600.00 in revenue from the rentals of PhoneSmart leads and reservations. If you assume an average rental in this market is worth $600.00. The average cost per rental was below $100.00, which means the cost per sale was only in the 16% range. This was from phone calls they could not answer. Show me another revenue stream where the cost of acquisition is sub 20% …and the business came from missed opportunities. If you take pride in your abilities as an investor, you could sure feel good about returns like this, couldn’t you?

Here is the breakdown of when the leads and reservations were acquired.

• 351 leads and reservations or 45% came during the week.
• 39 were before hours
• 187 came during business hours
• 125 were from after hours calls

The rest came on weekends and holidays.

• 29 on holidays
• 279 on Saturdays
• 111 on Sundays

If you average out the leads and reservations, it only amounts to about 3 leads or reservations per store per week. But when you add that up, you find the value of a seemingly small effort adds up to $141,600.00 in revenue. How would you like a bump in your business of this magnitude?
