Could not find an error with your code, but don't have the rest of
your form info to test it properly. However, this works:
<form name="form1" method="post" action="erika.cfm">
<select name="QISALESPERSON">
<cfif isdefined("go")>
<cfoutput>
<option value="Mike" <cfif trim(form.QISALESPERSON) EQ
"Mike">selected</cfif>>Mike</option>
<option value="Jay" <cfif trim(form.QISALESPERSON) EQ
"Jay">selected</cfif>>Jay</option>
</cfoutput>
<cfelse>
<option value="">Please Choose</option>
<option value="Mike">Mike</option>
<option value="Jay">Jay</option>
</cfif>
</select>
<input type="submit" name= "go" value="go" />
</form>
