korean coincidence 

a coincidence that is...well, just too coincidental to really happen. typically found in Korean soap operas, music videos, and movies.
Regular coincidence: You have exact change for the clothes you're buying. Afterwards, you find a dollar in one of the pockets.

Korean coincidence: The store goes up in flames, so the cashier gives you an entire rack of clothing for free. Unfortunately, the store doors close at that exact moment, locking you and the cashier inside. Convinced that you are about to die, you kiss the frankly attractive cashier. The moment you do that, your girlfriend pounds on the store door trying to see if you're inside. She sees you, bursts into tears, and runs into a busy intersection. After firefighters pull you out of the fire, you see your girlfriend being pushed into an ambulance. You donate your organs to her so that she can function normally. She visits your comatose body in the hospital, and birds conveniently begin singing.

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."
