Losing reputation / losing customers possible ?

[IndigoFighter]

The way I'm playing the game at the moment, it sometimes happens that I don't sell anything for 1 or 2 days because I'm trying out mixtures or other things. It can also happen that I have not grown / packed anything for the dealer etc.

My questions about this:

- can I lose my "general" reputation as a result?
- Can I lose reputation / satisfaction with individual customers if I don't accept orders for 1-2 or more days?

I would like to approach the game very casually, at my own pace, without the "pressure" of having to accept orders every day for fear of losing customers / reputation.

So is there no answer ? Does no one know it ?

Addiction / price plays a big role; Mixing is a slow burn, it takes a bit to ramp up.

As you level up, and sell more product, customer wallet caps increase slightly. Some folk could barely afford my 8mix coca, only ordering x1 at a time and couldn't be haggled with for 2. Now I'm getting x3-x5 coca orders daily ($3200 - $4900).

If you attack your supplier, your rep goes down and you have to gain their trust for meetups again; if you attack customers, they're only gone for the rest of the day, without penalty. (though if your dealers cater to them, that's a deal skipped); If you machete, explode or shoot someone, they're out for 3 days without penalty. (pick pocketing also has no penalty, tho the % chance to recover product seems to decrease upon success)

Depending on your level, your product might just be too expensive for clients; same with dealer clients, I only give them base stuff these days, and I am KingPin 10 rank; they just get bricks of base stuff.

I sell all the mixing stuff myself in the phone, haggling is very important; don't just accept their offer. save/reload and experiment with haggles, you can find a sweet spot for almost all orders.

Unless you need extra XP (or giving samples), don't do in-person deals randomly on the street, only use the phone.

If you don't want to take orders on some day, just delist your product in the phone.

@DescipleOfZen

Thank you for the detailed information. But my original question remains: can I simply ignore orders for several days and not bring any goods to my dealer without damaging my reputation with customers? Or is it better / necessary to actually delist the products in the phone first?

[DescipleOfZen]

Nothing happens (in my experience), you just get notifications of people ordering / saying "nevermind", which gets annoying. If you're busy, just delist.

Bro do you do all the x3-x5 coca orders daily ($3200 - $4900) through phone or meet up deals? Do you also get rejected sometimes?

Hey so this is the closest thread I could find to my problem, but I logged on last night with my co-op friend and found that I had lost all of my customers, dealers, suppliers, and been reset to neutral standing with all people. Also the only customer I have left is mick lubin which is controlled by one of my dealers which I can no longer edit or talk to.
