Brief – Reseller Partnership Brief
A reseller partnership is one in which one partner sells and distributes a product created by another company. They may also have their own products for sale, but the other company’s products and solutions are added to their catalog. For the reseller, this means easy access to a new revenue stream. There’s no need to develop a new product; instead, you can simply begin selling a new one immediately. For the company who owns and develops the product, they gain a new audience and new potential customers. We demonstrate both in “How to Benefit from a Reseller Partnership.”
This partnership brief explores the ins and outs of a reseller partnership. We discuss the benefits to both the company doing the reselling and the company whose products are being sold, going as far as to illustrate how the relationship can maintain mutual supportiveness.

Case Study – Making a Profit by Reselling IoT Solutions
Reselling IoT solutions is a great way for your company to bring in additional revenue. If you don’t have a solution of your own that can account for your customers’ needs, they’re going to go elsewhere to find it, and you won’t be able to sell to them. But at the same time it takes years of trial, error, and advancements to create a workable IoT solution that truly provides unique value to customers. It costs a lot of money, too. Luckily, as we detail in our “Making a Profit by Reselling IoT Solutions” case study, there’s another solution in choosing to resell another company’s product.
