Having mathematical skills is necessary if you work in the personal storage industry. It is not just about an 8x8 square foot unit that has an 8 foot tall ceiling. If you are dealing with a customer who knows little about storage it may not matter much and they will simply take the advice that the storage specialist recommends.

However this is not the case 100% of the time. You will come across an individual from time to time who wants the low down. Who want to account for every square inch of space in order to get their moneys worth.

Your basic renter will be satisfied enough to know that an 8x8 unit offers 64 square feet. There are the far and few in between that want to know how many cubic feet are in a particular unit. So it helps to know that an 8x8x8 square foot space offers 512 cubic feet.

So, brush up on your mathematical skills if it has been a while. It will come in handy.
