Break down barriers - what does it mean?
"I am really proud of you Ken, that is the kind of behavior I am trying to foster in this department",
and then "
As you know we've been trying to break down barriers we've created, and I emphasize that, especially when it comes to our customers, we need to do whatever it takes. keep up the good work!"
The punctuation may be incorrect as I had to write the transcript myself, but I suppose you'll be able to understand what she meant. What barriers does she refer to?
Thank you!

To "break down barriers" means "to overcome differences (between or among groups)", in this case the company and its customers. Regards, Pieter Rautenbach

Could the actress say those lines without smirking? Because if so, she's got a future in the movie biz.
