Two Wrongs Don't Make A Right

Revenge is not the answer to all of your problems.
Whether or not the saying "Two wrongs don't make a right" is morally correct has been heavily disputed to this day.

For the most part, the saying has been demonized due to it being used as a quick comeback for when an asshole who just got what he deserved cannot think of anything better to say. Think of The Golden Rule: "Treat others the way you wish to be treated."

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."
