Building a strong network of dealers is essential for expanding your business empire in Schedule 1. However, sometimes your dealers may not adhere to your strategies as expected.
Unlike traditional employees, dealers operate independently; your role is to supply them with products. You will incur a signing fee, and they earn a percentage of the total sales. Although the system is straightforward, I’ve encountered instances where dealers refuse to execute their roles properly.
Fixing Dealer Issues in Schedule 1
Your dealers may not perform as expected due to potential errors on your part or bugs within the system. Below are some actionable tips to ensure your dealers remain productive.
Ensure a Steady Supply of Products

Your dealers will only sell products if you consistently provide them with an adequate supply. If a dealer runs low on stock, you’ll receive a notification. Always deliver more products than they need to avoid a repeat of this process.
A common bug I’ve noticed is that you might attempt to restock a dealer only to find them still “out dealing.” I’ve determined that the stock has run out message can be glitchy (especially for Benji). If a dealer appears to be unavailable, visit them the next day after resting, and the issue usually resolves itself.
Assign Customers to Your Dealers
It’s crucial to assign customers to your dealers to ensure sales. This step is often overlooked. You can rectify the issue easily through the Dealers app on your device, allowing for the assignment of up to eight customers per dealer.
Utilize Baggies for Product Packaging
While packaging in jars is more efficient (since you can pack five at once), orders may not always arrive in multiples of five. This inconsistency can complicate sales. To avoid hiccups, utilize baggies instead; they allow flexibility in your dealer’s offerings. If packing becomes time-consuming, consider hiring a Handler to assist.
Check Product Availability Regularly

Each region has preferences for certain types of products, making it essential to understand client tastes through your phone. Meeting these preferences will facilitate better sales and higher profits.
Reload Your Game Save
The game auto-saves after each night’s rest. While reloading a save may result in the loss of some in-game progress, it remains a viable fix for bugs. From visual glitches to unresponsive dealers, reloading often resolves these issues. I hope you find the same success when encountering challenges in Schedule 1.
