Got Any Ideas??

Ok folks - I fully admit.....I am stumped.

I'm finishing up my books for my reps and need some "creative guidance". That would be where you come in.

Let me give you some background.

My company has 15 Independent Sales Reps that work for us. 1 is international and he reports directly to the VP. 1 handles the "big boys" and stays with whom ever is running those accounts. 1 handles the other "big boys" and reports to our National Account Director. 1 works closely with another sales manager on a certain account. That leaves 11.

They belong to me.

Now they all work on their own - hence the term Independent Rep. Duh (sorry). My job is to motiviate and bring them together as a team. Well, that and get them to sell a hell of a lot more product, but that goes without saying.

I'm good at the motivating, I can build a team - what I can't do right now is think of a "name" for this team. I'm not a hoocky kinda gal. And I just hate those stupid games so many companies play. BUT - I've got to get them to start thinking of working together. Without that, my plans for next year might as well be a pile of horse shit.

For the books that I'm putting together for this meeting I need a cover page. On that cover page I'd like to introduce our name and logo. The logo will then go on the hats I'll order for them, the shirts, the pens - you get the idea. So I want something that a grown man wouldn't be embarrassed to explain about if he gets asked.

My only idea right now is The A Team. But that just leads me to that stupid line "I pity the fool..." and while I can finish that one easy, it's a little more negative than I'm looking for.

So - got any ideas? For a name, you can throw a catch line in to if you want and hell - I'll even take suggestions on a logo. I'm kicking myself that I didn't think about needing this until tonite. Thank Gott most of the work is already done. I can throw this together in a flash.

But first - I need ideas.......

I'll make it worth your while.......
