Hey there live session hosts! We know that keeping your audience engaged during online sales training can be a real challenge. And let's face it, in the middle of a Zoom call, distractions are just a click away. But here's the thing – if our sales folks miss out on some key info, it can cost the company big time. That's why nailing audience engagement and knowledge retention is super important. Lucky for us, StreamAlive offers some awesome tools to help make your sessions fun and engaging.
Bring the World to Your Zoom with Magic Maps
Let's spice up your 'Where's everyone from?' Icebreaker by using StreamAlive's Magic Maps. Instead of the usual round-the-table intro, ask your audience to type their location in the chat. Magic Maps will work its magic and instantly plot these on a real-time map for everyone to see. Start your session by saying, 'Drop your location in the chat, and let’s see where our global marketing gurus are tuning in from!' This not only creates a visually dynamic map but kicks off the session with a sense of community. You could also ask attendees to share their dream travel destinations if you want to sprinkle in some personal flair.
Capture Insights with Opinion Polls
Engagement isn’t just about fun—it's about gathering meaningful insights. Use Opinion Polls to get a deeper look at what your trainees are thinking. Maybe ask them, 'What’s the biggest challenge you're facing in closing sales this quarter?' StreamAlive will gather their responses into a handy poll. This isn't just knowledge for you; compiling these insights can lead your team to better strategies that actually address what's on your audience's minds.
Engage with Power Polls
Want to keep your audience's attention razor-sharp? Drop a Power Poll in the middle of your sales session! It's perfect for getting real-time feedback on what topics are most relevant to them today. You could ask, 'What's your favorite digital marketing tool of the year?' and watch as participants vote and the dominant choice emerges. The instant results can guide your presentation on the fly, tailoring the session to what's most beneficial to the group right then and there.
Make Participation Fun with the Winner Wheel
Got some shy attendees who are not quite ready to come off mute? Use the Winner Wheel to nudge them into the conversation. Throughout your session, ask questions or have attendees share their thoughts. Everyone who engages gets entered into a spin for fun prizes—maybe a Starbucks gift card or a shout-out on your agency's LinkedIn. For example, prompt them to comment on what digital marketing trends they find exciting. This little nudge will get the chat buzzing, and you can celebrate participants by spinning the wheel at key moments.
Illustrate Ideas with Wonder Words
Words hold power, especially when they're visual. Wonder Words lets you build a real-time word cloud from your audience's responses. During your training, ask a question like, 'What's the one word that describes how you feel about social media marketing?' As they type their answers, watch as popular choices become prominent in size and color on screen. It's not only a creative way to see shared sentiments but an opportunity to address what’s most important right there on the call. It turns collective thoughts into stunning visuals, adding depth to your digital marketing discussions.
