    Like initially we have one department named as Sales.
    But now to different department heads will be managing the sales department only. So we are forming 2 Sub departments of Sales department. and I am looking for the names.
    Both the departments will be doing sales only but I want to differentiate the depart for more clarity in the org chart.

    Segment A and Segment B sales
    North and South Sales Teams
    Key Accounts Sales, General Sales Team
    Existing account managers and New accounts acquisition
    SME sales and Corporate sales
    Consumer and Business sales
    Channel managers and Direct sales teams

    Now turn it around. A potential customer phones. How will you know which sales team they go to? How will the customer understand this? And what happens if they call in a second time but can't remember their contact's details? The division you choose to make, how you manage it, and how easy it is to use are more important than what you call it. (When you're allocating commission/promotion it's very easy to end up with turf wars between competing sales divisions unless it's really really clear).

    [Hard to get any more clarity on the org chart.]

    I get the impression your bosses need to do a little more thinking ...

    how about

    Hot and Cold - after all, you do have hot and cold leads. A little unfair, but hey, that's life.
    Asia - - - Pacific (or any other geographical differences that are meaningful)

    Or something more imaginative, perhaps?

    East Wing, West Wing
    Maharajas - Palaces
