I dunno. It's a toughie. It must have been done in some scripts as I've seen scenes in TV shows which do this trick. I've asked on the FB Into The Script group for ideas.
UPDATE - They are suggesting no scene header on the opening shot and then just put it in once Sally has done her sales pitch. I think that's a great idea. I also think some formatting police will have an aneurysm lol!

Yeah, that's essentially what I was picturing with starting on the closeup:
FADE IN:
CLOSE on SALLY (30s), a wild look in her eyes, etc. (Best to drop the clothing description for this part - since we're tight on her face.)
dialogue
INT. PARKING GARAGE - CONTINUOUS
etc.
I think that works.
