How do I find out how to become a Microsoft Reseller - specifically looking to resell MS Surface Laptops

To become a Microsoft Reseller, specifically for reselling Microsoft Surface laptops, you would need to participate in the Surface Reseller Alliance program. This program is designed for commercial Surface platinum-, gold-, and silver-level resellers who have met specific criteria set by Microsoft.

Here are the steps you should consider:

1. Join the Microsoft AI Cloud Partner Program: You need to have an active reseller agreement and be a member of the Microsoft AI Cloud Partner Program.
2. Meet the Revenue and Assessment Thresholds: Depending on your location, you must meet certain revenue thresholds (e.g., $1M TTM for Silver, $2.5M TTM for Gold, and $50M TTM for Platinum in certain regions). Additionally, you need to complete assessments through the Surface Academy to qualify for different tiers.
3. Understand the Tiering System: The program has a tiering system (Silver, Gold, Platinum) based on revenue and assessments completed, which are calculated monthly.
4. Stay Informed: Keep up with any updates or changes in the program requirements or thresholds.

For more detailed information, you can refer to the official Microsoft documentation on the Surface Reseller Alliance program.
