[XCL] Mean Leads [for v0.17bv0.018a] 0.0.3
The lower your sales ranking, the uglier the leads you're given. Don't expect to sell safe, profitable InstaGirl pills as a Rookie Salesman.

Mean Leads
Welcome to the DynaPill family! As a new employee, this mod puts you where you belong: at the bottom of the pecking order.
DynaPill has to move a lot of pills, and not all of them involve huge profit margins or pleasant clients. But why should the senior sales team need to bother with those sales when they have the rookies to dump them on?
Features:
A new lead type
This mod introduces a new type of lead—the Mean Lead—that uses a modified version of lead generation and sales code. Mean Leads typically involve low-revenue companies with poor ethical standards; the kind that typically won’t want to splurge on InstaGirl pills.
Sell them what they want for your best chance, or risk it and put your sales skills to the test by trying to up-sell them one of the more expensive pills. (...and, sometimes, there’s nothing DynaPill offers that will suit them, and these “prospective clients” are just a waste of your time.)
About 80% of all leads a Rookie Salesman gets will be “mean leads,” with the percentage lowering each time you’re promoted. By the time you reach Senior Sales, you won’t need to bother with them at all.
Likely future content
- More lead variety (employee titles, business types and subtypes)
Other future ideas (but, really just wishful thinking):
- Complain about pills to your coworkers.
- Fellow rookies may commiserate, leading to better relationships.
- Higher-ranking sales people might help you off-load the lead…if they happen to like you, or do them a “favor.”
- Dump leads on underlings.
- You can use your position to pawn off bad leads to the Rookies and Junior sales people, but they'll like you a lot less (and maybe want some come-uppance if you do it too much).
