Being overconfident and reckless. Not knowing your limits. The phrase comes from the tale of Icarus, a young man who flew too close to the sun and fell from the sky when his wings melted. It's a tale of caution, warning us to remember our limitations.

Person #1: That man was killed by the gang leader, thinking he can take him on.
Person #2: I guess he flew too close to the sun.

Whale

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."
