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 Laurie Montanaro and Stephanie Martinez as the April 2022 recipients.

Laurie Montanaro, District Team Lead

When a customer needed a quick solution, District Team Lead Laurie Montanaro listened and put the customer’s needs ahead of her busy schedule as a manager and trainer. She didn’t just give the customer options at her store; she used the Extra Space Storage network of more than 2,000 properties. By looking into other facilities, Montanaro gave this customer the information they needed to make an informed decision. Ultimately, it gave them more time to focus on what was most important: their family.

“Truly a pleasant and efficient experience. After a death in the family, I needed to move swiftly! I didn’t know what size I needed, how long I would need to store, etc. Fortunately for me, Laurie Montanaro went out of her way to not only help with questions, but also call other Extra Space locations to assist me in making the right choice of size, location, and price for my budget! Laurie, thank you!”

This example is just one of the many times customers have praised Montanaro for how much she cares. When she joined Extra Space Storage in 2005, we knew we got lucky; Montanaro has provided excellent customer service to self storage customers for 36 years!

Laurie Montanaro, thank you for being a part of the Extra Space Storage family and ensuring every customer has a world-class experience.

Stephanie Martinez, Inbound Sales Representative

When our customers call 1-888-STORAGE for some extra space, we strive to take care of all their needs in one single call. Our team members are always ready to answer questions and provide the best solution for their storage needs.

Stephanie Martinez, an Inbound Sales Representative at the National Solutions Center, understands how busy customers are. She uses her tools and knowledge to move through each conversation with ease. And when Martinez tells her customers that she can complete the entire rental process over the phone so they can move in right away, customers are dazzled!

“The agent helped me navigate through my storage questions. She was extremely knowledgeable and super friendly. Definitely top-notch customer service. I was able to sign my lease today at a great rate and just excited to have this taken care of. Thank you for the excellent service!”

Martinez has nailed down what it means to provide top-notch customer service! She’s made the customers’ task of renting storage effortless.

Thank you, Stephanie Martinez, for being part of the team and making storage easy!

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.
