Running with Scissors

A chaotic, zero-regret lifestyle where a rebellious lesbian ignores every warning label in existence—emotionally, socially, and occasionally literally—charging headfirst into bad decisions, hot girls, and situations that could end in either a great story or minor property damage. Equal parts defiance and thrill-seeking, usually fueled by spite, attraction to the worst possible choice, and the firm belief that rules are just suggestions for people with less personality.
“She met a girl with a shaved head, three red flags, and a motorcycle—moved in two days later and adopted a dog together. Absolute running with scissors behavior.”

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."
