Obviously 3000 selections is a bit much for a single drop down list. How about 2 drop down lists - one for choosing a letter of the alphabet, and a second which is filtered by the first drop down? So you choose A in the first list and that gives you all sales people whose names start with A in the second list.

There are a few posts which discuss that approach like this one:

I don't think you can do drop down lists on explorations only on reports. Can you do your forecast in a report instead?
