Am I selling product wrong?

[Oathbringer™]

Hey, in the beginning of the game they tell you to use your phone to set up deals with customers.

I stopped doing that and instead just run up to people and sell them meth or bud that way. Am I losing out on potential gains??? I'm usually selling a couple baggies for 125$ or a jar for 350$ sometimes more if i know they will buy it.

Has anyone else tried this way?

App has higher prices, but selling on the street can help you farm exp faster since you get it from sales. I just set everyone to meet me at the same time and deal with it all at once.

The most important thing early on is to make money, so chasing customers to get a dealwill work, but is not ideal. Time is better spent managing the operation, restock supply for the next batch, etc.
They will pay more if calling you for a sell, and will pay even more if the deals happen after curfew.
Just do it the way you want, it's fine. You don;t really need anyone's approval 🙂

I do all my deals Late Night. I only ever do spontaneous street deals if I'm low on cash on a new save or need the XP.

Depends on how you want to play the game. If you're in it for the max amount of money, selling via phone deals is the way to go. Especially once all your customers have very high loyalty, you can almost always raise their initial price to 30% or 40% the suggested fair price, and they will agree.

The only thing you need to keep in mind when doing counter-offers is that each customer has their own "budget," thus, if you make an offer out of their budget, they'll just flat out refuse. A good counter-offer I've always done is +30% and it pretty much always works, especially if it's the product they offered to buy.

Selling face-to-face is much harder, and is only really good for rushing EXP or if you need to burn excess product for storage space, why? Well, it's much harder to get your customers to agree to anything that isn't 1:1 with the fair price, heck, even sometimes if the price is at its fairest they'll only get a 90% - 92% chance of accepting the deal which is annoying, even more annoying with those late night visits you get from customers that are really "in need." if you just wanna chill, then pay no mind, just keep doing what you're doing, the game's pretty much a sandbox anyway.

That may be true from a price standpoint, but phone deals are always generally better because there's very high chance that when you lowball them, they'll agree to that price, do that face-to-face and they'll probably just ask you to GTFO of their face.

Literally does. Why would I sell 2x unmixed coca for $350 in-person when you can get $720 from a app meeting? You can haggle prices consistently.

2100 for x5 coca via meeting; it's based.
