a term used by Jason Mraz and friends to describe someone whose main purpose or job is to bring joy to others.

"Calling her {Tricia} our 'Joyologist' is the way we acknowledge her for the extraordinary job she’s created. Her knowledge of the road, raw food, and rowdy men, partnered with the practice of yoga and patience empowers her to bring so much peace, love, and joy to everyone in our touring community and the extended families (including you) affected by our travels." (from Jason Mraz's blog)

"when Jimmy bakes me those vegan cookies I could swear he's my very own joyologist"

Joyology

Definition of Joyology- The study and practice of joyful living. The essence of joy defined. A joyologist builds a life expressing inner joy outwardly so as to share it with others. It is a calling.

A joyologist I know always seems to be happy- thinking of becoming one myself.

The theology of joyology is a given grace; it exudes from within and cannot be withheld.

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."
