An amazing, intelligent and extremely brave young woman who sacrifices herself for the people she loves. She is a fighter and has an interesting story as well as a love triangle which actually makes sense, unlike the obvious Edward - obsessed one from Twilight. Also, Katniss has a powerful skill and is both a talented archer and an athletic person.
She is a role model for young girls, regarding her courageous, quick thinking attitude, and her ultimate non - dependency on men. Even better, Katniss Everdeen is portrayed by the wonderful, hilarious Jennifer Lawrence, who never fails to make people smile.

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."
