Pro-actionary 

There are two distinct forms of Teams, Proactive & Reactionary, while both serve their individual purposes well, it is often a recipe for disaster when against all the laws of physics, reason, common sense and proven business history are against it, someone gets the bright idea to create a hybrid. And so from the Alchemy that is Management Philosophy a creature that is meant to dwell at the point in the middle where these two worlds collide is born



The Pro-actionary..

“Man I’m really not sure about this Pro-actionary thing, all I do is catch hell for not knowing when I’m supposed to be doing one or the other. I get yelled at for not responding fast enough, then I get clobbered for not putting a system in place to have known the thing was going to happen in advance”

murderhobo 

In a tabletop game, a murderhobo is a player who murders NPCs indiscriminately. This is normally derogatory, referring to a player who totally ignores quests, dialog, backstory, trade, world building etc.

The term is most common with Dungeons and Dragons, but it can be applied to most RPGs where the player is allowed to kill most quest-giving NPCs and NPC traders. E.g. Elder Scrolls, Fallout, Divinity original sin.

Dave: I call dibs on the dog.
DM: You murderhobos disgust me.

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."
