gtbos - abbrev. "glad to be of service"; i.e. "I am pleased that the services I have performed for you were in some way beneficial to you." May often be used in a sarcastic sense.

The abbreviation may be written entirely in capitals ("GTBOS") or entirely in lowercase ("gtbos"). Compromises such as "GtboS" are considered by most practitioners to be unacceptable.

While most GTBOSologists will agree that this term ought not to be used in its abbreviated form in spoken discourse, attitudes towards this term are gradually becoming liberalized, and more modern academicians (known to most as neo-GTBOSicians) are willing to accept its use as part of oral vernacular, but only if articulated letter-by-letter (i.e. "jee-tee-bee-oh-ess"). All GTBOSological experts will agree that it is improper to speak this abbreviation as a word in its own right (i.e. "gitboss" or "jetboss").

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."
