Abrahms Pursuit

An intensely difficult and particularly evil piece written for concert band by David Holsinger.

Coming in at just about 174 beats per minute this heart-racing piece spells hell in big, red, capitol letters in an obscenely large font for all those who have to play.

It features flutes and trumepts in an epic battle-type mayhem with its main melody switching every few bars to create an exciting but extremely confusing piece.
Band instructor: Alright, lets try this piece by David Holsinger.
Band: What's it called?
Band Instructor: (Tentatively) Abrahms Pursuit
Band: DEATH!

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."
