what do you call large deals? (e.g. whale)

Have a team member that recently got promoted into management.


Right now we got whales, dolphin, catfish, minnow, etc depending on deal size.


She wants to find something new for her own team. What do we got?

😃 Fun

At my old job it was just tiered: tier 1 - tier 2 -....

I like the idea of naming them

Same, we go by tiers.  Naming them would be more exciting.  I call anything that completes my monthly quota a whale.

Great White Shark? If you're keeping it nautical... We call them transformers because those accounts transform the business. Autobots assemble!

200k+ are good-sized deals, 500k+ are massive-sized deals, 1M+ are blue whales- you kill one and you can feed yourself for the whole year.
