Miele Update- Refrigeration

Hi Everyone!

Sending a quick highlight regarding current Miele refrigeration inventory. I have received quite a few inquiries lately, and we have units currently in stock / shorter lead times. I am attaching our updated Miele Cooling price book, as well as a snapshot of today’s inventory.

  • Inventory levels shown are as of this morning’s start of business.
  • IF QUOTING A CUSTOMER, please add 30-45 days to the date shown at time of order to account for any processing/shipping delays; if you do not have direct access to the Miele Dealer Portal, please reach out.

Growth and Comfort Do Not Coexist

Updates from Marvin Montgomery
Sales Tip #599 From The Sales Doctor
“Growth and Comfort Do Not Coexist.” 

– Ginni Rometty
Ginni Rometty, the former CEO of IBM, reminds us that if you are too comfortable where you’re at, you may not be growing, and it may be time to step out of your comfort zone.

Do something this week that will take you out of your comfort zone at home or at work that will perpetuate growth.

If you keep on doing what you have always done, you will get what you have always gotten.

Sound familiar?

Miele Inventory Report 7/1/22

Attached you will find our current/inbound inventory report, updated daily on our Miele Dealer Portal.

A FEW THINGS TO NOTE:

  • Inventory levels shown are as of this morning’s start of business.
  • We are not taking new orders on dish yet—I will update everyone as the situation develops.
  • Unless the unit is physically in stock, we cannot guarantee ETA’s provided by the dealer portal due to the continuing global supply chain disruption and congestion at our inbound ports .
  • Availability will change and fluctuate as a result of orders and stock movements throughout the day.
  • The inventory available is determined by the warehouse that serves your location:
    • OH & KY pull from our NJ warehouse.
    • IN accounts pull from our IL warehouse.
    • Orders can only be fulfilled out of your designated warehouse location.
  • The report that I am attaching has been slightly edited to show the most relevant information:
    • Column ‘F’ should be utilized via drop-down feature to look for specific product.
    • Column ‘K’ should be utilized when searching for availability by category (i.e. ‘Refrigeration’ or ‘Ovens,’ which we are looking great on!).  
    • Column ‘I’ and column ‘J’ show incoming inventory levels with arrival dates, respectively—again, this will change based on the amount of orders we receive daily.
  • Incoming units shown are available as of this morning—more accurate ETA’s will be shown when reviewing an order before submitting.
    • If there is no date provided, we are 11+ weeks out due to demand exceeding capacity and U.S. ports currently behind by 4-6 weeks.
