If you’re looking to scale up in Schedule 1, knowing the best customers for your dealers can make a huge difference. Not all customers are created equal—some are more loyal, pay better, and are less likely to attract heat. Picking the right clientele means your product moves faster, profits rise, and your dealers stay safe.
The best customers for dealers in Schedule 1 are typically found in middle-income and nightlife zones. These areas have a high concentration of reliable buyers who consistently place large orders and rarely cause trouble. You’ll want to scout these neighborhoods early in the game to build strong repeat business.
Here’s what to look for when identifying good customers:
- Loyalty level: Customers with high loyalty will return frequently, recommend your product, and spend more. You can boost loyalty by consistently delivering high-quality product, offering good deals, and avoiding late drop-offs.
- Spending habits: Some NPCs have larger budgets. You can check spending potential by tapping on the customer or reviewing your dealer’s client stats. Focus your dealers on these higher-tier buyers.
- Low risk profile: Customers with lower risk profiles are less likely to tip off the police or start fights. Stay away from customers marked as “hot” or who have snitched in the past—especially in high-surveillance zones.
- Preferred strains or effects: Matching the right strain to the customer’s preference—like relaxing, uplifting, or “schizophrenic” effects—will result in better sales. Dealers assigned to these customers will have higher success rates.
Once you’ve identified the best customers, assign dealers who match their vibe. If a customer hangs out in a club district, use a high-charisma dealer. For suburban clientele, a discreet, loyalty-driven dealer works better.
Tracking these details takes a little extra time, but it’s totally worth it. Good customers mean smooth deals, better profits, and fewer problems.
