Which skills does it have?
These are the eight skills only Sales can draw. They turn up on level-up cards more than twice as often as shared ones. Numbers are at rank 5 with no bonuses, and a skill with a partner listed can evolve once you own that passive at rank 5.

| Cold Call | Bolt | 191.7 | The Phone → Auto-Dialler | Fast, cheap shots at the furthest thing on the floor. It did not ask for them. |

| The Close | Bolt | 49.3 | None | One heavy shot. Anything under 30% health signs on the spot. |
| Warm Lead | Chain | 77.5 | None | Hits one, then follows the referral to the next three. |
