Intro

This game will start off in the conference room...where an excited trainer is teaching the newcomers the basics of selling. 

Scene will close with the rivals racing for a lead.  Your rival will get there first.  Your rival will then make a phone sale, showcasing the  elements of the sales system. 

After successfully closing, the trainer will congratulate your rival, and chode the rest of your colleagues.  He'll then tell you you'll have to find your first lead and close it before he'd give any leads out...then he sends you off.

After making your first sale, your rival makes it abundantly clear to you that she's already landed five sales...and there's talk of her moving up a floor.  For the rest of the game, your rival will be one step ahead of you.

While trying to become the top salesperson, many sidequests will ensue.  Whatever the sidequests happen to be, typically they'll be requests from co-workers to go out of the way for them.  While this will take you away from your present business, accomplishing this will grant you access to leads later on in the game, as the co-workers will return the favor.

Although it is possible to win every co-worker over...some will be more loyal to your rival.  These will be more difficult to persuade. 

Interaction with NPCs outside the office will consume time, however, over time, many will develop into leads. 

Your first goal is to advance from a Junior Sales Rep to a

The plot will play out like this.  The initial trainer will be friendly and outgoing...but not very helpful...or motivating.  As a result, most of the senior sales staff have stagnated...and they're not really earning their keep.  This becomes a problem as corporate HQ starts cracking down on your location.  Your trainer asks you to beef up your sales...and attain a certain goal...but no matter what, it won't be enough for corporate.  Eventually, they remove your friendly trainer and instead install a new one.  This guy is a real asshole.  He's a motivator, but he's a balls to the wall dick.  Like a slave driver, he will push the team to work harder than ever before, and he'll play favorites with the leads as well...giving most of them to your rival.  Eventually, he'll announce that commission rates will be halved...so you'll have to sell twice as much to maintain the same standard of living. 

Your co-workers will start dropping out and burning out like flies...sales will plummet...and your new trainer will reduce commission yet again "to make up for the slack".  Now, your rival and you are finally on the same page.  And you both agree to work together to get inside corporate HQ and talk to the CEO about this dire situation.  Using your negotiation skills (AKA selling skills), you'll have to work past secretaries, guards, and more...to get to the CEO. 

Once you get a forum with the CEO, he tells you that he is appalled to hear of this guy's tactics.  But it seems as if you're too late.  Due to slow sales, the Board of Directors has decided to sell off the company...unless you can convince them not to.  Going to the board room, you'll have one chance to save the company and the jobs of your co-workers.  You'll do this by entering a "sales battle".  Once you convince them, the CEO brings in the bad trainer and fires him on the spot. 

This leaves your branch office with no trainer/manager.  So...a member of the board, an older fellow, steps up to the plate and agrees to serve as a temporary trainer.  He believes that he can help turn the branch around.  This guy represents everything that a salesman should be.  He's got integrity, honesty, and charm...he's aggressive, yet compassionate about serving customers.  He'll be the most inspirational trainer yet. 

So now, you'll need to work as a team to close leads...bouncing off each other...encouraging each other, and ultimately, saving the company.  Your efforts will land you the position of Branch Manager/Trainer...effectively ending the game with a promotion!

Tom lives with his girlfriend.  They're struggling to pay the bills...they've amassed huge amounts of debt through credit cards and student loans, and now, they're facing eviction.  To top it off...Tom finds out early in the game that his girlfriend is pregnant.  Although a brilliant student, Tom was forced out of college to take care of these impending circumstances.

You'll start off the game with bills and a bit of savings.  If your expenses can not be paid...you'll have to buy on credit, which will add to your monthly expenses.  Spend your credit limit...and your girlfriend will leave you.
