Aftercreep

An event taking place for high schoolers across the nation on Sundays in April; the day after prom, when you spend countless hours on Facebook creeping and looking through photos from prom you either attended or did not attend because you were so excited for aftercreeping and decided to stay home. While aftercreeping, one may find that they have seen the exact same dress on three, four, or maybe five girls, and you may witness several wardrobe malfunctions before they are removed from said social networking site. When you finally stop, it is early Monday morning, at which point you have hours of homework that you planned to do on Sunday. At this time, you may make the decision to skip school monday in order to aftercreep for several more hours.

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."
