Make sure to match your supply to the customer base for all of your dealers.
You can’t build a drug empire on your own in Schedule 1, and that’s where dealers come into play. As you grow your network of contacts throughout Hyland Point, some of your customers will put you into contact with dealers that will automatically sell your product for you in exchange for a cut of the profits.
Although it seems simple on the surface, the dealer mechanics in Schedule 1 are actually quite complex. You can miss out on a ton of cash if you mismanage your network of dealers, so assigning the right customers and keeping your dealers supplied with the right mixture of drugs is paramount to success.
How to Unlock Dealers
There are six dealers to recruit in Schedule 1. Each of them is relegated to a specific neighborhood of Hyland Point, so you’ll need to expand your operation to meet the right people that can connect you to them.
Each neighborhood in Schedule 1 has a web of contacts that you can check on your in-game phone and some are denoted as dealers. To unlock them, all you have to do is raise your relationship level with a customer that is directly connected to them with a line.
Since you can’t just sell to random strangers on the street without at least a minor connection, you’ll have to work your way through the customer web until you get close enough to the dealer. Your first move is always to offer a sample to unlock a new customer. Then, once you’ve added someone close to a dealer to your customer network, give them high quality drugs and offer them good prices to make them like you. Eventually, they’ll message you to put you in contact with the dealer they know.

All Schedule 1 dealer locations
These are the locations of all six dealers in Schedule 1 plus the customers that you have to impress to secure an introduction.
Each of these dealers takes a 20% cut of the money they make from selling, but the initial buy-in prices to recruit them get higher as you unlock new areas. For example, Benji only asks for $500 to start dealing for you, while Leo Rivers needs $5,000 from you before he’ll start dealing.
Best dealer customers and products
You can assign up to eight customers to each of your dealers in Schedule 1, and these customers will come to your dealers instead of texting you directly. It’s a good idea to assign customers that are close to each dealer so they can make more deals in a shorter amount of time. You should also align your dealers’ inventories with the tastes of their customers to drive more sales.
Save the city’s biggest spenders for yourself though. Not only will you avoid losing a chunk of profits by dealing with these customers directly, but you’ll also get more frequent texts from them. You can also extort big spenders with higher prices once their addiction levels are high enough.
For example, Jessi Waters is Northtown’s resident crack buyer. If you assign her to Benji, you’ll be missing out on frequent high-value deals. Identify these people, take good care of them personally, and the money will come.

How to fix dealers not dealing
How to fix dealers not dealing
Even if your dealers have a ton of product and an eager customer base, sometimes they just won’t sell anything. Thankfully, there are a few easy ways to fix dealers not dealing in Schedule 1.
First make sure your dealers have enough drugs. It seems obvious, but it’s an easy mistake to make. Also, make sure they have drugs that their customers will actually want to buy. If you stock a dealer with nothing but sedating drugs even though they have a customer base that favors energizing weed, then they won’t sell as fast and it can feel like they’re not working at all.
If your dealers have enough supplies, you can try fully restarting your game. Schedule 1 has some issues with NPC pathfinding, and dealers can be affected as well.
If your dealers are still not dealing after a restart, then take everything out of their inventory and wait for them to text you that they’re out of inventory. Once you get that text, pay them a visit and give them some new drugs. This can refresh their AI and get them to start patrolling the neighborhood again.
Finally, there’s always violence as a last resort. If you knock a dealer out they’ll return to normal when they wake up.
