poverted 

The state of living in such destitution that an individual has no sense of pride, decorum or decency. Though there is not a definite correlation between poverty and morals, many such individuals never learn proper boundaries due mostly to the fact that they have been stripped of their pride by "the system" and have no sense of self-respect.

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."
