Unfortunately the movie script was never changed to reflect the New York City filming location. The Machine' Levene on the phone with his sick daughter. Moss arranging a sit moments before the dreaded sales conference. As we will soon see, these customers are mostly tricked into sending in these cards with promises of free prizes, or are crackpots who just like to talk to salesmen. Intensity and desperation are clearly evident in Moss's face.
Leads are the above-mentioned cards sent in by prospective customers.
The premium leads are the Glengarry leads and they are only going to be given to the top salesmen, as the poor men at Premier Properties are about to find out at the upcoming sales conference. On the way out of the bathroom at the Chinese restaurant Kevin Spacey's character, the office manager John Williamson, is introduced. Moss complains to him about the leads and then Shelley quickly follows suit. It is just a hint of the abuse that Williamson will be on the other end of during the movie. The insults that are tossed his way are some of the most wickedly creative ever seen on film.
