The psychology behind social media posts, and the psychoanalysis of people who post, oftentimes to seek recognition, approval, gratification, and/or to boost their ego, as well as the reasoning behind those who provide reactions to social media posts.

When we studied social media posts in psychology class, we focused on the postology of a Facebook post about what someone ate for dinner last night.

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."
