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. You could ask them which customer pain points they encounter most or how confident they feel about the EdTech product line after your training segment. As responses come in, everyone gets to see how the group feels in real time, encouraging more discussion and engagement right there on Zoom.

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. Encourage your team to chime in with their thoughts or questions about the topic. Once the chat's buzzing, use the Winner Wheel to randomly select a commenter to win a fun prize—maybe a coffee voucher or company swag. It keeps everyone on their toes and eager to get involved.

Ask them what they think is the most important skill for a salesperson in the EdTech industry, and watch as common answers float larger on screen. This not only attracts attention but also highlights the collective wisdom and focus points of your team. Great for visual learners and adds a whole new layer of interaction.
