The Herrero Vortex

The Herrero Vortex is named for the situation, whereby one finds themselves in the company of someone who talks continually, non-stop, about stuff no one wants to hear, and apparently has the stamina to go for hours. It's coupled with the circumstance, where you cannot easily get away. At first there may be an interesting point made, or you just want to be polite. After a while, it becomes annoying and you just want it to end. It could even affect your mental state, as eventually, your only goal is to escape. It gets its name from the Spanish word for blacksmith - someone who tirelessly and with fortitude, hammers away at something for hours at a time.
Dude, I got caught in the Herrero Vortex last night, at that poker game. This guy just would not stop talking, and I made some bad calls.

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."
