"When Linnea Appleby and Jill Robert joined the StorageWorld team in 1998 they came to us with strong marketing and general business skills but no prior self-storage experience. During their six years at StorageWorld/Storage Spot Linnea and Jill applied their marketing and business skills to the work required by our growing company while not only learning about but ultimately becoming responsible for the most important components of the development, acquisition and operations functions for the company.
Both Linnea and Jill are cross-trained in most if not all parts of self-storage operations and management. As such, as PDQ Management Solutions, they constitute one of the foremost operations management and consulting teams in the industry."

During the two years I worked with Jill Robert and Linnea Appleby, I found them both to be very dependable, honest, ethical and hardworking. They are extremely organized professionals who always meet project deadlines in a timely manner. Their combined experience of over 15 years in the self-storage industry provides a solid well-rounded base of industry-specific knowledge. Using their experience they helped our company with 26 new construction start-ups and site acquisitions, operational staff training, audits, policies & procedures development and implementation, computer and network start-up and maintenance, advertising, signage design and installation, marketing brochure design, budgets, forecasts, unit pricing and operational reporting. Their invaluable experience showed in the high quality of their work and the improvement in our company’s bottom line net profit!

We used PDQ's consulting services for start-up facilities prior to opening, and we're glad we did. They got to work immediately in helping us draft our operations manual, ordering signage, printing, inventory, computers, printers, office supplies, etc. They set up our Sitelink software. They analyzed the competition. They also prepared an updated proforma, marketing plan, and helped in the hiring and training of our manager and assistant manager. They also made several facility construction design recommendations that we followed. In addition, they even helped us with insurance related questions. We have certainly benefited from their help and recommend their services. It is likely that we will also use their audit services in the future.

PDQ Management has managed our Ruskin Self Storage Facility from start up in mid 2006 to present. Linnea Appleby and Jill Robert have done a tremendous job and are both very professional. They have done a great job of keeping me informed, managing the facility, hiring and supervising the staff, keeping the financial records and leasing the facility up according to the Performa. I highly recommend PDQ to anyone interested in hiring out the management of a self storage facility.
