What is Reseller?

    RESELLER

    A reseller is a partner that buys product from a vendor or distributor and sells it to end customers, with or without additional services.

    DEFINITION

    A reseller is any partner that resells a vendor's product to end customers. The term is a broad umbrella that includes VARs, MSPs, dealers, and pure-transactional resellers. Reseller agreements govern pricing, discounts, territory, and rules of engagement.

    HOW IT WORKS

    The reseller signs a partner agreement, gets access to partner pricing, quotes end customers, purchases through the vendor or distributor, and fulfills the order.

    WHY IT MATTERS

    Resellers are the volume engine of most B2B channels. A well-run reseller program can multiply a vendor's reach without proportional headcount.
