How Are You Getting Sales/Leads?
Good day all, I am a Disabled Military Veteran and can't drive because of that. I am really trying to push getting clients and I am assuming I need to be going door to door (business to business) in person, but if I go that route I need to do this very effectively to avoid high costs of ubers (public transportation not really an option where I am). How are you all going about getting new clients and what types of businesses would you suggest going after for getting your first few clients? Are all even doing in person sales, and what would you say your process is like. Would also like to know how are you targeting your ideal client so that I can see if I can apply to mine. I am offering the Microsoft products as well as maintenance services for those. My ideal target would be small businesses and maybe nonprofits (but would be willing to see if I should switch to a different target market to start if something else would give me a higher return at least starting out until I can afford to switch back to small businesses perhaps). For anyone that can provide insights on here or through DM, thank you very much in advance.

Microsoft Partner Center is asking for "Identity Verification" but we already completed it!
Hello, We went through the process of being registered as a Microsoft CSP Reseller. We followed all of the steps and finally got a green check mark but are not fully verified! Our Status says "Pending Qualification" and it has said this for about 3 weeks now. I have tried opening a support ticket and I get the same canned generic answer: "Thank you for your email. Thank you for your inquiry about your Microsoft AI Cloud Partner Program account in Partner Center. Your MPN 6915438 and 6915439 is pending for Identity Verification. Please follow the below steps to get Identity Verification. Sign in to Partner Center, select Settings (gear icon) > Account Settings. Select the Legal info tab on the left. The Legal business profile section shows your Verification status in the Microsoft AI Cloud Partner Program. Under identity verification, select Fix Now. Install the Microsoft Authenticator app on your iOS or Android mobile device. Get your valid government ID, for example, a passport, a driver's license, or other national ID. The ID should be a physical form of ID that is current and up to date. Verify that the name on your ID matches either the Partner Center primary contact or your tenant username. Select Start next to a trusted partner. We still see that identity verification appears to be in progress. Please confirm if your account is now fully authorized so that we can proceed to close this ticket. If you're still facing any issues, kindly let us know—feel free to share a screenshot of the error so we can assist you more effectively." When I navigate to MS Partner Center > Account Settings > Legal Info my Verification Status is Authorized, but under "program info" my Indirect Reseller status is Pending qualification. There is no fix now button because we already verified! Someone please tell me what I have to do to resolve this, Microsoft support has been absolutely no help.
Problems Registering for the Hardware Program
Hello! Over a week ago I found, that my organization account for some reason disappeared/deleted without notification and I couldn't log in to it anymore... Last year our company participated in the Hardware Developer program, had the verified Developer profile, and successfully submitted the hardware programs. Just after that, I registered the organization again, entered the same company data for the verification, and also passed the Developer verification again very quickly, then clicked to participate in the Hardware Program again. For some reason, I still don't see the Hardware Program active in my account, but together with that I can't activate it again in the list of available programs. So it is not active and I can't select it to activate it... I created a support ticket 10 days ago and I still waiting for the resolution... I have tried to ask what is the issue, but received a response - "Account Verification is still under review". After that, I asked another question about the issue and how much time will it take to resolve it - but received no response... Could someone explain what happened? Why the organization was deleted? Why after successful Developer profile verification the support team tell, that verification is still going on? Why I don't see the Hardware program dashboard if I have activated it already?Do More with Microsoft 365 E3 promo

CSP Partner Licensing Question - Dynamics / CRM Online Portal Additional Portal
Recently I was asked to locate a part number for the Dynamics 365 Enterprise Edition - Addnl Portal(QO) in the perpetual and NCE CSP price lists, but cannot find it. The PowerShell returned that they are being billed for a CRM_ONLINE_PORTAL 1d4e9cb1-708d-449c-9f71-943aa8ed1d6a. I believe the part number is a legacy sku that was moved to Dynamics 365 Portals, but then deprecated or moved to Power Pages, but the client is still getting billed and uses it. Any guidance/ assistance would be appreciated.
