      They do, but it looks very limited.

      Yes, I said that they did initially, but only insanely large, national ones. The scale that you have to be at to qualify is crazy.

          Just uninstall em all. You know that's what the Microsoft people want to say, but they aren't allowed too.

              Ha! We live and breathe Microsoft here. These things aren't going away.

                Sales is REALLY simple.

                1. You have to have something to sell.
                2. You convince someone to buy it that wasn't going to buy it on their own.
                3. You charge more than it would cost without needing to pay a sales person.

                That's it. It is step 1 we keep saying you need to think about.

                Using it, yes. But selling it is the problem. You'd have to sell it as used, because you'd have to buy it, be the end customer, then sell it. Can cause all kinds of issues, like with warranties and stocking and accounting.

                Ok. So we can use it but we cant sell it. Got it.

                You can sell it, but it must legally be sold as "Used - never opened" because you aren't a licensed reseller! SINCE UBIQUITI DOESN'T USE RESELLERS

                Do not yell at me.
                I understand what you are saying .

                          It was a 10 minute conversation because the sales guy asked for suggestions on what to use for an AP for a new software.
                          I gave him the information on Ubquiti ( like I always do ) and said something about it here.
                          he asked for a suggestion, I gave him one. Made a post about it and everyone jumps on it telling me Im wrong when i gave a suggestion.
                          Nothing more, nothing less- Am I sure he knew that by looking? sure, But it was a suggestion, as that's what he wanted.
                          But no, continue to tell me how wrong I am .

                          thanks for the information though.

                              Because, a 5 minute investigation into the sales practices would've told you enough that reselling isn't viable. But you can recommend and support the equipment, just not sell it direct.

                              Have your sales dick look at it in the approach of "Ubiquiti is enterprise grade gear, but due to volume limits we can't sell direct but can sell our advice on what equipment to use and we can also support said recommendations with professional support."

                                Trying to freshen up the OS on a 2016 VM that has become super slow and barely responsive. I would have rebuilt it from scratch, but the last time I did that, there were tons of complaints from dev and testing departments.

                                  Distributors are not the same thing at all. Technically, a reseller? Yes.

                                  But that is how the entire distribution channel works.

                                  The term "Reseller" implies, to most people, smaller partner agents.

                                    His list goes to the distributor page, but lower on that page are resellers, too. I had to look to see what was there, but it has both.

                                      what's funny is I never said anything about reselling or selling the equipment.
                                      I said I was trying to convince the salesman to go to with unifi ap's rather than cisco.

                                      reselling came about from you guys, Not me.

                                        What purpose does the sale guy have to the conversation if not to be convinced to sell something?

                                          @WrCombs said in What Are You Doing Right Now:

                                          what's funny is I never said anything about reselling or selling the equipment.
                                          I said I was trying to convince the salesman to go to with unifi ap's rather than cisco.

                                          Aren't those one and the same? what is he doing with them if not selling them? I'm confused.

                                          Is he the sales guy, or a consultant?

                                            @WrCombs you need to help separate this conversation.

                                            You mentioning Ubiquiti to your Sales guy, was for what purpose?

                                            The business you work for sells and supports POS systems correct?
