.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.

You're absolutely right.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.

SINCE UBIQUITI DOESN'T USE RESELLERS
https://www.ui.com/distributors/
They do, but it looks very limited.
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?

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?

as an AP for a new software we are using/selling now. we just got the contract for a mobile solution to POS systems.
The business you work for sells and supports POS systems correct?
yes, the new software is IPAD based and needs an AP to connect wireless network to run the system correctly.

How are you confused?
ipad based software so it can not have a physical connection like the rest of the systems we support(hardware wise) so we need ap's for ipads that runt the software. -

Trying to convince the sales man to go with Unifi AP's instead of the Cisco Meraki MR33 for another new software they have added to our list.

What I was taking from it is we cant be a reseller, but we can buy and sell as used, never opened.. it would be more of a headache, and super confusing, and probably less than adequate for the sales rep, but it was still a suggestion.
