if your in a mainstream u have to first do the buy in... then chose between if you want to go direct sales with the company or true a distribuitor... if you want to buy small quantities distruibutor is the way to go.. you have to buy each month and if your a dealer u will have to follow their rules.. some of them about the msrp price... if you dont follow them they will put u on a blacklist and u willhave to get the products from somewhere else..
