Each month at Extra Space Storage, we recognize employees who go above and beyond in caring for our customers with our Customer Care Award. We’re happy to announce Becky North and Glenthea James as the December 2022 recipients.
Becky North, Store Manager
Becky North is a Store Manager in the Phoenix, AZ, area. She shows her expertise in storage by effortlessly providing customers with the right solutions. She understands that each customer has unique needs and is always eager to help anyone as soon as they walk into her store.
“I recently rented a storage space when moving, and Becky was so great. She listened to what I needed the second time around as I needed space to store bicycles. Becky showed me two of the smaller units when I asked to see them so I could see what I needed, and she was right there on top of it. She did not hesitate, and she remembered me from months before by name, now that is customer service. Extra Space is hands down the best place I have rented from. The building is always clean and, for the most part, dust free, as I have personally witnessed Becky and others walking the building cleaning, sweeping, and dusting. I love this Extra Space Storage.”
North personalized and elevated this customer’s experience by remembering their name—even though it was months after their first interaction. This small detail made the customer feel welcomed, important, and validated. Another way we ensure customers feel welcome at our stores is by keeping them extra clean. Everyone deserves a clean, safe environment to store their valuables, and North and her team work hard to stay on top of that. Way to go, Becky North, thanks for all you do!
Glenthea James, Inbound Sales Representative
Glenthea James, an Inbound Sales Representative for the National Solutions Center, instills our customers with confidence by turning any frustrating experience into a pleasant one.
“The website gave me an error to complete the process. So, I called the number and was frustrated until the cheerful lady answered my call on a Sunday. She told me everything went through, and she would get me into my unit, and I had nothing to worry about. Her voice was very reassuring and vibrant. She made all my frustrations disappear. And then I was in my unit even faster than what she said. Very, very pleased. She made the whole experience. Thank you, wonderful lady, out there in storage land.”
We’ve all experienced the frustrations of technology—that’s why having team members like James is essential to our business. In just one call, she was able to comfort and support this customer, help answer questions, troubleshoot issues, and make frustrations disappear. James teaches us that showing up to work with a positive attitude can turn someone’s day around. At Extra Space, we love being there for our customers whenever they want to do business with us—even on weekends! Thank you, Glenthea James, for your around-the-clock teamwork to take the customer experience to another level in “storage land.”
Each month, outstanding team members are recognized as the Customer Care Award recipients with a company-wide announcement and sent a personalized care package from the Extra Space Storage Customer Experience team.
