neutral  Robert Carter: No lo leí como la resistencia inicial del cliente, sino los filtros, es decir, los recepcionistas, los subordinados, etc., con quienes tienes que lidiar antes de hablar con quién tome las decisiones de compras/contrataciones. Saludos.

  -> Sí, la frase es ambigüa, pero la primera parte (body language) sugiere que el vendedor está en presencia del cliente y, por lo tanto, ya ha pasado el "filtro" físico. Saludos Robert.
