Swedish term or phrase: att rynka på näsan
Context - text from the course in Sales Techniques:

Försäljning är - konstigt nog tycker vi - ett ord som av många förknippas med något negativt. Det finns många som rynkar lite på näsan när man berättar att man är försäljare. En del försäljare skäms t o m över att erkänna att de jobbar med försäljning.
