self-storage auditing for fraud

Come and talk with Carol. She'll be there.

Carol Mixon has trained countless self-storage managers, conducted over 1,000 facility audits, owned sites, managed sites, and has spoken at just about every major self-storage industry event you could think of.  Her SkilCheck Secret Shopping firm has evaluated a staggering number of self-storage phone calls. She has written several books and manuals for the business. 

Her latest book is called "Self-Storage Auditing for Fraud". If there is  away to catch fraud in an operation, Carol knows about it. Where else could you get personal time with someone with this sort of experience? Just as an aside...Carol also wrote the Hawaii Lien Sale Manual, so she knows a thing or two about The Aloha State. 

In 2022, Carol took a group to tour sites on the Big Island that she helped develop.

        Session Topics May include:

        Future Proofing

        We'll take time to explore trends, look at upcoming innovations, and talk about the future. We'll take a broad look at what is going on in the world today, what is likely to happen soon, and how we can prepare ourselves. We are going to run a future-proofing game to see how things could turn out. 

        The Disruptors

        Hear from our experts in residence and other attendees about  the most interesting and daunting potential disruptions to the traditional self storage business. There will be plenty of time for Q and A at this self storage conference. There is plenty of time for discussions among the group as we try to make sense of what may or may not upend our businesses. 

        Private Equity

        The speed and intensity in which private equity groups have recently built self storage portfolios should be of great interest to everyone in the business. What is next for them? How will that impact the rest of us? How do we apply their practices? This self storage conference is about asking big questions. 

        Tax Strategies

        We all love to pay taxes because it means we are making money, growing asset value, and contributing to the well-being of our communities. But no one wants to pay more than their fair share. What strategies can be used to manage your tax liabilities in the right direction?

        The REITs

        Pay attention as we dig deeper into the practices and performance of the self storage REITs. We'll discuss their impressions of the business, and their plans for the future. Anyone in the self storage business needs to listen carefully since the REITs carry so much power and influence.  The REITs drive some sectors of our business and some of the major markets. Will they further dominate and continue to roll-up the industry?

        Sustainable Practices

        How do we make money and save money while reducing pollution, waste, and global warming? We have proven to be business innovators by inventing the self-storage industry. How do we use our drive and creativity to create the next wave of prosperity?

        Serving the un-housed

        Explore strategies for serving your un-housed or homeless tenants for their self-storage needs, without having people use your units for prohibited activities.  

        Register Now

        Fraud Prevention

        Employees are our partners in successful operations. But it only takes one bad apple to wreak havoc. We'll discuss best practices for preventing and diagnosing fraudulent behavior. 

        Automation

        No self-storage discussion is complete without talking about automation, self-service, and contact-less business strategies. We'll share successes and talk about the challenges. 

        Conversion Science

        How well is your online booking engine performing? We'll be focusing on your web and app conversions as we explore Conversion Science. 

        Portables

        What are the latest trends and best practices around using portable storage units? Are they really only for filling up space you can't build on? How are they being used to build entire projects? What could you do with them?  What about pick and delivery of portable units?
