Limiting Belief

Sales Tip #618 From The Sales Doctor
Limiting Belief
I have always said and truly believe in the statement, whether you think you can or you think you can’t – you are right.
Having a Limiting Belief has the same effect.
A limiting belief is a thought or state of mind that you think is the absolute truth and stops you from doing certain things.
These beliefs don’t always have to be about yourself, either. They could be about how the world works, ideas, and how you interact with people.
Often, we are unconscious of what we believe and how those beliefs affect our actions.
Our limiting beliefs can cause us to miss out on the things that we want most, and our empowering beliefs can drive us toward the life we want to live.
What is a goal that you have always wanted to achieve and haven’t?
Don’t let your beliefs limit you!

Miele Update: Inventory Report 11.9.2022
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.
- 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.

HURRICANE NICOLE and PINNACLE SALES GROUP
ANNOUNCEMENT – HURRICANE NICOLE
Office Communication and Shipping
Dear Valued Customers,
Please be advised that we expect the next weather update on Tropical Storm Nicole to upgrade it to a Category 1 hurricane making landfall late Wednesday evening into early Thursday morning along the east coast of Florida and impacting the entire state. Our Customer Service, After Sales, Accounting, Purchasing and Marketing teams will be operational tomorrow, November 10th, with limited staffing as weather permits.
We have diligently improved our technology and equipment to allow our office staff to work remotely to deliver minimal disruptions to our customers and clients. This could obviously change if Pinnacle team members experience a loss of power.
We have been notified that this weather event will impact our shipping services. All of our carriers have informed us that they will not be operating on Thursday as it will not be safe for their trucks to be on the road. There also is a possibility that carriers will pause the movement of trucks late Wednesday afternoon as wind speeds increase, which would decrease the number of shipments our warehouse team can ship to dealers today. We anticipate being back to full normal operation on Friday, November 11th.
We hope that everyone remains safe during the storm.
We greatly appreciate your support and patience during this emergency and will let you know once we are back to normal operation after this weather event.
Smart People Know What to Say, But Wise People Know When to Say It

Sales Tip #617 From The Sales Doctor
Smart People Know What to Say, But Wise People Know When to Say It
When I saw this quote, I immediately thought of how some salespeople start off the appointment with an information dump that contains knowledge of the company and their product or service, instead of conducting a thorough needs assessment first.
Don’t forget that people couldn’t care less about what you know until they know how much you care.
