Afro-American origin; early 1960s; jazz musicians would criticize a player who obviously had no talent or originality, who would try to play "hip" lines on his horn a half step outside of the key, in an attempt to copy master jazz saxophonist John Coltrane. Ex: "he ain't playin' nothin'.... he's just half steppin'.... (i.e., playing musical melodies momentarily a half step out of the key to create harmonic tension resolved by moving back inside the key, a cheap imitation of the real thing).

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."
