Do not sign up with the first reseller web hosting company you find! In order to conduct a reliable business, the company hosting you has to be reliable as well. You need to do research on the companies you are looking at and decide based on your needs which one is best. Doing research also eliminates the possibility of signing up for a web host that doesn't know what they are doing and has constant downtime. You don't want to become discouraged dealing with a bad host and quit because of frustration.
Having a website that is unprofessional or incomplete is an incredibly common mistake when starting as a reseller. Your website is your business presence and must reflect that. I see far too many hosts that do not have a professional design, misspell words, have broken links, and other problems that will hurt your chances of convincing clients to sign up once you actually get them to your page. How likely would you be to sign up for a service if the site had misspellings or broken links?
Reseller web Host also needs to make sure your site is easy to navigate and clearly explains what you are selling. Make sure everything flows well and that a user can easily find a way to contact you, your company history, and so on. Just remember what you did to research the hosting company you signed up with and keep in mind that your users will be doing the same type of research.

For a new reseller web host, there is no need to start with a dedicated server or high-end reseller plan, start small and expand when you need to. You will have to pay for that costly dedicated server or hosting plan for X months until you finally break even, a small reseller hosting package is much less and will work fine. Do you really need an online account and billing system? A simple order script will work when you are new and later when you get up to around twenty clients it might be time to add one.
