There is not much more I can add that Jill has not already provided.
Becoming the right type of partner is the key and understanding the requirements, obligations, and restrictions.
It is not as simple as becoming a partner and then being able to sell licenses or keys worldwide. You will likely need a business and partnership in each of the geographic regions you wish to sell.
For example, CSP partners are restricted to sell to geographic regions based on where their partner business is located and operating. E.g. a CSP partner in the US, cannot sell to customers in Europe. CSP may not be the best partner choice for your business model, but equally there will be terms and conditions with other partnership models that may not work.
