Business Controller: Business Runs YOU!

OK, I have APO I'm just lazy about setting it up, I'll use it on business lots from now on. Goopy was the worst offender, even when he actually left the lot, he'd return again within a short time.

The sim tonight who wouldn't do sales? There were other salespeople operating and finding new customers during this time. Could it be his personality didn't gell with any of the customers? There were generally 3-4 at any one time with bars above their heads.

I didn't know that BUY calculates which customers need sales, that's useful in understanding why the salespeople leave some customers alone.

whats the reason that you can't make your own sim "be salesperson" unless you get a gold badge?
its a pain in the butt to train my own sims manually while i can train my employee by just assign them to be the salesperson regardless of sales skill

Because without a gold badge, sims cannot actually effectively run sales. Employees can be assigned such, but BRY will simply ignore them and let them run crappy Maxis code until they get that gold badge. Nothing worthwhile will actually be sold until then, however. Your sims, however, cannot run this code. There are, however, Skillinator codes aimed at acquiring this badge.

jsalemi:
And Monique's custom computers (over on MTS2) have a 'study at home' option where sims can use the computer to study for the badges.  Pretty handy when you have a sim you know will eventually have a business (or has just started one), and can walk in with gold badges for cashier, sales, and stocking. :)

LordHellscream:
i think this is a bug.
but "be farmer" is not working, the sim (with gold badge in gardening) just walks around the plants without doing anything, they sometimes talk to the plants, but other than that, they never tend or spray
