the shawshank redemption

Awesome movie. Many people consider it to be "cliche" following generic prison plots, but it was based on King's novel, which came out in the 80's people! Also, Morgan Freeman, Tim Robbins, and James Whitmore (as Brooks) were brilliant.

Brooks suicide note was one of the saddest scenes in a movie I've ever seen.

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."
