A pricing markup factor used when preparing price quotes, job estimates, or work proposals for prospects you forsee as Pain in the Ass clients.

This fee is charged so that you can mentally tolerate the bullshit you must endure.

Can be a hidden or actual line item on the submitted job estimate. If used, disguise as "Management fee."

Use when prospects try to lowball you, who are over inquisitive about your business, who are control freaks, who have short tempers, who fail to respond in timely manner, who come ill prepared, who are always late, who are high maintenance, or other characteristics that make it difficult for you to conduct orderly business.

Our standard PITA factor is 10%. But this guy seems like an ass. Let's bump up the PITA fee by 15%.

This buyer came 2 hours late and is making us drive her dog to the dog hotel before the contract signing? I'm sick and tired of his bullshit! Fuck dat, we gotta add 30% PITA or we're not taking this job!

murderhobo

In a tabletop game, a murderhobo is a player who murders NPCs indiscriminately. This is normally derogatory, referring to a player who totally ignores quests, dialog, backstory, trade, world building etc.

The term is most common with Dungeons and Dragons, but it can be applied to most RPGs where the player is allowed to kill most quest-giving NPCs and NPC traders. E.g. Elder Scrolls, Fallout, Divinity original sin.

DM: The sad little orphan girl tugs at Steve's trenchcoat to get his attention, and ask for help saving her pet dog from...

Dave: I call dibs on the dog.

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."
