Wow, did you see her hustle that 18 year old boy outside the club last night? She's definitely a pre-cougar at 26.

pre-cougar syndrome

A woman in her late 20's to early 30's who is starting to yearn for the taste of yummy young 18 to 23 year old men. She is willing to do anything to them with no strings attached. When her much older husband or boyfriend pisses her off, her inward craving is intensified by wanting to try something new and exciting. This is nothing serious, just something to satisfy her appetite. She can have as many morsels as she pleases; if they get their hearts or backs broken, its not her fault. Beware!

Look at the way she is staring at me, she looks like she wants to jump my bones! She is almost thirty, and I am barely legal! Okay! She definately has pre-cougar syndrome.

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."
