PHOENIX, Arizona – April 16th, 2014 –OpenTech Alliance, Inc. today announced record-breaking sales for the first quarter in 2014. The company’s strong growth was led by an 81% percent increase over the same period last year in INSOMNIAC® kiosk sales. Overall, OpenTech’s Business Development Team sold more kiosks, INSOMNIAC Live! Call center services and INSOMNIAC Online rental solutions in Q1 than any other quarter since establishing the company in 2003.
“In OpenTech’s early days I was trying to sell a couple of kiosks to an industry veteran in Texas named George Watson. He asked me a question that I never forgot… What percentage of your kiosk sales are repeat business? Watson explained that he wanted to know how many operators had installed a kiosk, then after using it, wanted to buy more. George is a wise man,” said Robert Chiti, President and CEO at OpenTech.
OpenTech reported that during 2013 and Q1 2014, over 40% of their kiosks sales were driven by existing customers. The numbers clearly demonstrate that self storage operators who have already implemented a self service option at their facilities are finding it helps them rent more units and reduce costs. The near 60% of sales that went to new customers indicated that more and more operators are embracing technology and looking for ways to improve the profits of their business.
“I am looking forward to catching up to Mr. Watson at the Texas Self Storage Association conference and tradeshow later this year; because we are ready for him this time,” commented Chiti.
