low-barrier

What is the meaning of "low-barrier" in this sentence:

Since it’s the first client call, you need to ask some low-barrier questions that will get the person to open up enough that you can get an idea of their personality, without probing so much that you’re off-putting.

Anonymous low-barrier I find this new business jargon rather distasteful. Anyway, it means questions that are non-threatening, easily answered or engaging.

Easy, simple questions. Questions that are not hard to answer. These are more about building a personal relationship than getting the information you need to make the sale.
