Hey there, training warriors! We all know how crucial it is to keep your audience engaged during sales training sessions. It's not just about getting attendees to tune in; it's about making sure they walk away with knowledge that sticks. If your sales team misses important details, it could cost your company big time! That's why upping your game with live audience engagement on Zoom is key, especially when you’re training sales folks in the education and EdTech sectors. Let's dive into some cool ways to ramp up that engagement and make your sessions impactful with StreamAlive's real-time features.
Start with a Bang Using Magic Maps
Let's kick off your session with a fun global roll call using Magic Maps. Ask your sales trainees to share where they’re logging in from. Watch as StreamAlive plots everyone’s locations on a world map right there in real time. It’s a great icebreaker and shows everyone the diverse places your team covers. You can spice it up by asking about their dream travel destinations or the city they have the fondest memories in—perfect for sparking those warm vibes before diving into the nitty-gritty.

Explore Deeper Insights with Open-Ended Opinion Polls
Dive a bit deeper with Open-Ended Opinion Polls. This is perfect when you want to gather a range of responses from your trainees, maybe about the tools they find most effective in closing sales or what they think could improve your current sales approach. StreamAlive collects these insights and helps you visualize them, which is awesome for sparking a group brainstorm.
Get Instant Feedback with Power Polls
Let’s talk Power Polls—your go-to for capturing instant feedback or gauging your sales team’s knowledge.

Get Everyone Involved with the Winner Wheel
Keep the momentum going by introducing the Winner Wheel! This is your secret weapon for encouraging participation in the chat. Let's say you’ve just wrapped up a segment on new sales strategies.
