Director Name Your Team: How to Brand Your Squad?

[PamperedK]

Does your team have a name? I would like to Brand my team with a name, logo, colour, etc....

I asked my team for their input (at our meeting and in email) and only got ONE response back.

Do you think a team name is silly and maybe they don't want it?. or do you think it's that it's not a priority and if they couldn't think of something off the top of their head they forgot?

Would you go ahead anyway and just come up with your own? What do you all think?

Usually a team is "branded" from their director's last name as far as I have seen. My last name is Easter so we are the Easter Team or if addressing generations 1,2 and 3 then I either address them as (director's last name) Team or the Easter downline.

There are no rules that I know of that address this.

I know there aren't necessarily "rules" but I always thought it was fun when Directors have team names. There's a Director here in Canada that calls her team the "Power Cluster" and there's the "Divas on Fire" etc....I'm just not creative...plus my last name is boring! lol

That was one of the things I did at my very first meeting as a director. We all brainstormed ideas and the winner was "Dream Catchers". We have a logo with a dream catcher with the pc symbols hanging from the feathers (the $, star, clock, heart). My son created it for us and we plan to make tshirts with our logo on them to wear to fall launch.

Love this thanks!! Maybe I'll make it an actual activity at my next team meeting, rather than just asking for ideas.

My upline has a "stars" theme going so we are "Dacey Stars"

My SD's team is "Pampered Possibilities" and my ADs team is "Pampered Peeps". I won't name my consultants until I really have a a true team - not these things that submit every other month.

We all chose names that were not built around the Director b/c we train that we are a team as a whole, not someone's team. I hope to someday have that thing called a 'team' but even then, I hate my last name so I won't include my name in it.

Melissa...I like your point. When I put out the call for suggestions, I told them I didn't want it to have anything to do with my name....it's not about ME, it's about us as a TEAM. I actually had a few people tell me they liked being the "[my last name] team"I started calling us the "[my last name] Power Team" and they seem to like it, so that's what we're going with!Keep the ideas coming though!

Sometimes the answers are just that easy and simple. Before becoming a director, I never thought using the last name of a director was making it all about the director but everyone is different, I guess. Sounds like you have all come up with a great solution.

Allowing a team to choose their name helps with ownership. If they choose to use the directors name, then go for it.

I came up with the name of Dagian's Soup-A-Stars.... My last name was to hard to come up with something clever with! LOL I did ask my team for suggestions for a few months and no one came up with anything so when I suggested three names to them it was the winner!
