Roll 1d6 twice, each roll is half the day.

- For whatever reason it seems someone who is enamoured with a competitor's brand has come in just to argue with you about their merits and not buy anything at all. FAIL
- The sale is very easy indeed, after all your customer is dressed in branded clothing and came here with plenty of money, you even sell them some accessories at three times the markup. SUCCESS
- This sale is all right, the person doesn't want much and no amount of convincing them seems to get anywhere, they buy a case for their existing product and leave SUCCESS
- Tyr stops by while you are making a very tough sell and the customer is so distracted by meeting the CEO that they relent and spend more than they intended to, even taking out some insurance on their product. SUCCESS
- Customer wastes your time by seeming very interested for most of the morning, asking about every single product on sale, going through tests and examples and ultimately saying they will "come back tommorow" as they leave. FAIL
- An older customer is getting rid of their hugely outdated phone and is only too happy to take you up on the latest hPhone along with lessons for it SUCCESS

Pale Horse Enterprises was another of those high falutin businesses that made Bjorn cringe - not due to anything particularly wrong with the company itself, but due to the fact that it was another sign of how much the clans in general had been moving forward. How long had he been gone again? Gods damn, why was social media suddenly a commodity, and why did it matter so much? His mind was against it, his being even, but Bjornbrandr marched into the establishment and found himself with a part time job nonetheless.
He might as well try to understand the new age of technology, even if he was against investing in it.
From the start it was going to be hard, and he knew it. Bjorn's brand of honesty and gregariousness could easily take a customer in, but within several questions' worth of conversation, his target could sense how very, very in over his head the guardian was. Bjornbrandr was struggling with basic instructions with the hPad, which came at odds with his charming introduction to the product and its features. (One could recite bullshit without comprehending it after all.)
But as luck would have it, the company owner decided to stop by. Immediately Bjorn clammed up, almost saluting (how did one address the boss?) as the horseman passed by. Luckily for him, his would be customer was much more amenable to being sold on the thing after that. Thank the gods for starstruck fans, he supposed.
The latter half of the day went a little more smoothly. He took from several other employees' conversations and added it into his own spiel. Even better, it was with an older customer who seemed to get less about the hPhone than he did. It was quick and easy to upgrade his plan and give him resources on how to handle the new features. By the end of the day, his generous pay and successes led the guardian to having higher spirits than he had when he first walked in.
