Do native speakers say a "window person" to mean a "contact person"?
For example:
1. Someone is interested in a product of your company. You recommend that he should contact Mr. Brown, who is the "window person" of the department in charge of the product.
2. How about a case where there is actually a window? For instance, a clerk sitting behind the window of a ticket booth to sell ticket to customers?
Japanese people sometimes use "window person", but I guess it's an English phrase created in Japan and native speakers don't use it.
But I read someone's blog which says the author heard it in CNN news, so I wanted to confirm if it's used by native speakers.
