Prehearsal

Name: Prehearsal Mug
Brand: Urban Dictionary
Price: 25.00 USD
Availability: InStock

A single, comprehensive preparation session where a group learns a brand-new song from scratch and polishes it for a future performance all in one sitting.

It is the hybrid of a "practice" (learning the notes) and a "rehearsal" (running through the finished piece), combined into one marathon event before the actual presentation day.

The word is a portmanteau created by blending the P and R from "Practice" directly into "Rehearsal."

Example Sentences:

"We have a prehearsal this afternoon to learn and perfect the new composition so it is completely ready for Sunday morning."

"If we just need to run through old songs, schedule a rehearsal. If I am bringing a brand-new piece for this weekend, we need a full prehearsal."

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."
