Details of being a retailer
ADVERTS 1
Hi, I wonder if any could tell me about being a retailer for Dish Network. Anybody out there a retailer? Wonder if any could tell me the details about how the relationship with Dish works and also with installers if you don't want to install yourself. Possible? Startup costs? Any startup cost to pay Dish? Positives, negatives? You can reply to this thread or send me a message, and I'd appreciate it.

Please explain your statements. Why has the day long since passed to make money? And who is the 1-800 number calling?
Short statements with no explanation don't really help me.

The 800# goes to Dish.
The easy money has all ready been made. Dish has some onerous (in my opinion) retailer requirements.
You could still make some money, but will need to do more than just sell Dish.
Good Luck, Eric

So what are the "onerous" retailer requirements?

You pretty much must be an established storefront operation before they'll consider you. Your experience may be different than mine!
I suggest that you either call them or go to their website and drill down through the menus to fill out the dealer application paperwork.
It is more complex and individual than should be discussed in this forum. (not to mention that it has little to do with the general theme of this particular site)
Best Regards, Eric

I see but I checked out the dishretailer forum and looks like you have to be a retailer to be part of it and can't find another. Also there was nothing on it.
