Lingk
Roma makes a sale to Lingk in the Chinese restaurant. Lingk is a symbol of the weak types of people that Roma searches to take advantage of in order to press into their weaknesses and take advantage of them for his benefit.
Chinese Restaurant
The Chinese restaurant is one of two sets in the play. It is a symbol that these men can't go home, but they need somewhere to go in order to sulk, be angry and escape the reminder of their failure to provide once again. It also represents an escape from the cold and brutal sales office they work from.
Roma and Levene
Roma at the end of the play is working to create a business partnership with Levene just as Levene is being called into be interrogated by the Detective. This is a symbol for Roma's lack of truly understanding the world around him and only focusing on himself.
The Leads
Williamson has control of the leads, which to these men are gold as they mean money from qualified clients. Williamson holds the leads back though, and this is a symbol of his feeling of having no power within the office. His power and being needed only comes from the leads that he is given to hand out to the salesmen.
Office Manager
Williamson tells Lingk that his check has been cashed, assuming that this will make him accept he has purchased. Roma berates him for saying this. Williamson's statement is a symbol that he doesn't know the art of selling and this is why he is instead the office manager.
