Alright folks, let’s talk about keeping that Zoom room buzzing during your Request for Information (RFI) Training. We all know that holding someone's attention online isn’t as easy as it sounds. The more your audience is engaged, the better they’ll retain the info you’re sharing. Think of it like this: engaged attendees are active learners, which means they're more likely to absorb all those crucial details about RFI processes.
Map the World with Magic Maps
Here’s the deal—asking 'Where are you joining us from?' isn't just a cliché. Use Magic Maps to turn this into an exciting kickoff. Maybe ask, 'Where have you submitted RFIs around the world?' or 'Which PQQ (pre-qualification questionnaire) location was most memorable for you?' Then watch as StreamAlive populates a live map showing where everyone’s logging in from. It breaks the ice and all of a sudden, you’ve got a room full of shared experiences, and who doesn’t love that?

Get Personal with Opinion Polls
When you want to dig into more detailed feedback, open-ended Opinion Polls are your go-to. Think about asking, 'What’s your biggest challenge in RFI coordination today?' Allow your attendees to type out responses in their own words. This kind of interaction helps you understand their struggles, letting you tailor the rest of your session to address real concerns.
Engage with Power Polls
Polls are a great way to keep everyone on their toes. Use Power Polls to ask, 'How familiar are you with RFI documentation?' or 'Which part of the RFI process do you find most challenging?' You’ll get instant insights into your audience's knowledge level, and adjust your session to suit their needs. Plus, seeing live poll results can spark interesting discussions.

Spin the Excitement with Winner Wheel
A little competition never hurt anyone, right? Once your RFI session is rolling, use the Winner Wheel to add a fun twist. Try picking a random winner from the group for a fun prize or spotlight who asked the best RFI-related question. This is a super neat way to encourage participation, especially since everyone loves a chance to win!

Visualize Insights with Wonder Words
Using Wonder Words is like creating a living visual conversation piece. Ask 'What ONE word describes your experience with RFIs?' or 'Name ONE tool you can’t live without during RFI preparation.' As answers roll in, those key phrases materialize into a word cloud. It’s not just a pretty graphic, it shows in real-time what’s on your attendees’ minds, helping you drive home key points. Plus, it’s visually engaging, keeping everyone locked in.

Decision-Making Made Fun with Choice Circle
Polls are a great way to keep everyone on their toes. Use Power Polls to ask, 'How familiar are you with RFI documentation?' or 'Which part of the RFI process do you find most challenging?' You’ll get instant insights into your audience's knowledge level, and adjust your session to suit their needs. Plus, seeing live poll results can spark interesting discussions.
