A company is a Microsoft 365 reseller. The company does not provide managed services or direct customer support.
You need to provide licenses for customers and earn commissions for each license sold.
What should you do?
A. Buy licenses for customers by using the Microsoft admin portal.
B. Sign up as a Cloud Solution Provider direct reseller.
C. Sign up as a Cloud Solution Provider indirect reseller.
D. Buy licenses for customers from a Microsoft Authorized distributor.
If you’re getting a commission on selling licenses then you are an Authorized Distributor, not a CSP or buying from the portal, so the answer is D
D is indeed the correct nswer
Explanation/Reference:
Sign up as a Cloud Solution Provider indirect reseller. get money back from each license,
So for me C and not D is the answer
