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.
Partners who are ready to enter the market, but who don't want to have to manage multiple vendors, or who may not have an end-to-end customer relationship management infrastructure in place, can enroll in Microsoft's Cloud Solution Provider (CSP) program as indirect resellers.
As an indirect reseller in CSP, you work with indirect providers (also known as distributors) who have a direct relationship with Microsoft and can provide you with customer support, pricing, and billing that help to ensure your success. In the provider-reseller (two-tier) model, the provider buys cloud solutions and services from Microsoft. You then resell them to customers.
Company is already a re seller and cos they don't provide support or billing, they only can be Indirect CSP.
"As an indirect reseller in CSP, you work with indirect providers (also known as distributors) who have a direct relationship with Microsoft and can provide you with customer support and billing. Working with indirect providers means you don't have to start your own. Instead, you can work with an experienced technology provider to help ensure your success. In the provider-reseller (two-tier) model, the provider buys cloud solutions and services from Microsoft. You then resell them to customers."
If you're enrolling in the CSP program as an indirect reseller, you don't purchase products directly from or be invoiced directly by Microsoft. Instead, you work with indirect providers (also known as distributors) who transact directly with Microsoft.
from the info it sounds thE company is already an indirect CSP partner so the next step is to buy the licenses, I think this is a trick question and the answer is more likely D
D- If you're enrolling in the CSP program as an indirect reseller, you won't purchase products directly from or be invoiced directly by Microsoft. Instead, you'll work with indirect providers (also known as distributors) who transact directly with Microsoft.

Answer: C
If the company does not provide managed services or direct customer support, the best option would be to sign up as a Cloud Solution Provider indirect reseller. This option allows the company to purchase licenses from a Microsoft Authorized Distributor and resell them to customers while earning commissions. The customers would receive support from a direct reseller or from Microsoft directly.

"Microsoft authorized distributors who have experts to help you configure Microsoft licensing solutions and may offer credit services, marketing support, training, and access to dedicated sales representatives"
I would take D
