Pied Piper Children's Theatre 

A children's theatre located in Upper Manhattan. It has enjoyed a rich thirteen-year history of plays and musicals performed (and occasionally written) by different children, teenagers, and adults residing in the tri-state area. It is run by the man of "all generosity and kindness", the artistic and executive director, Reinaldo Martinez Cubero (going under the moniker "Rey-Rey"). The face of the theatre has undergone several cosmetic changes in its short history, going from a small scale lighting board and a practically barren stage to a highly developed lighting and sound system and a colorfully designed set. This institution is always striving for a notable status and succeeding at times by getting mentions in publications such as New York magazine and the NY1 News Channel. DVDs of past performances at the theatre are available for standard rates of twenty dollars and recorded with only the finest of organic potatoes. (In this writer's opinion, the VHS tapes they used to sell were a bit more substantial. Go figure.)
Pied Piper Children's Theatre: To explore, to create, to communicate. Since 1999

In sales terms, a whale is a prospect that is significantly larger than an organization’s average customer.

Whales are large and extremely difficult to close. Due to their immense size, they are highly sought-after.

A whale is typically identified at first by a whale hunter on the sales team, but often requires cross-discipline participation in order to close; this includes assistance from operations, engineering, creative, client success, and business development teams.
"Shit...the sales director chewed me out on the sales call this morning. He's totally pissed that I have nothing in my pipeline. I've been focused on this one whale for so long that I haven't had time to prospect for normal-sized deals."
