Hey there, live session host! We both know that keeping your audience glued to their screens during a virtual sales training isn't easy. Yet, it's super important. Why? Because if sales reps miss crucial bits of info during training, yikes—it can end up costing your company big time. That's why keeping your sessions lively and interactive is a game-changer. We want more of that information sticking with the attendees so they can ace those high-end retail skills!

Spice Up Your Session with Magic Maps

Alright, let's talk Magic Maps. It's such a cool feature! When you're kicking off your session, ask your audience where they're tuning in from. It's always fun and a nice icebreaker! Imagine having a map up on your screen, and a lively pattern fills as folks drop their locations in the chat. It brings a sense of community, like we're all on a virtual global journey together! You could even tie it into your sales training by asking, 'Which top-tier global destination would you love to shop at next?' or 'Which city do you think has the poshest stores?' Using Magic Maps makes everyone feel more connected, even from miles apart. Plus, it sets a fun tone right from the start.

Deep Dive with Open-Ended Opinion Polls

Opinion Polls are your chance to hear those unique voices. Use these during discussions where you want more detail or varied responses. For instance, ask 'What does excellent customer service in high-end retail look to you?' or 'Share your best closing line in a luxury sales pitch.' It's engaging because everyone gets to type out their thoughts, and it sparks interesting exchanges. These insights are gold, often prompting further discussions that dive deeper into your training topic. Plus, when people voice their opinions and see they're being heard, it triggers a sense of belonging and validation.

Keep Everyone Involved with Power Polls

Let's not forget about Power Polls! They get everyone typing and sharing opinions. Ask a question like 'What's the biggest challenge you face selling luxury items?' or 'How do you initiate a conversation in a high-end store?' and watch the real-time responses roll in. This not only gets everyone talking but also provides you with instant feedback to tailor your sessions better. Seeing those results pop up in real-time creates a collective learning moment that's hard to ignore. Plus, it's a way to spotlight various perspectives, making the session richer for everyone involved.

Add Some Excitement with the Winner Wheel

Let's be real—who doesn't love a little surprise giveaway? The Winner Wheel is perfect for keeping the energy up and getting everyone involved. Use it to reward participation during your session. Say you're discussing selling techniques, ask folks to share a tip in the chat, then spin the wheel to pick a random winner from contributors. Maybe give a small prize or an 'Employee of the Week' spotlight. Or, use it to break the monotony—say, 'Everyone who shares a question during Q&A gets entered!'. It keeps your audience on their toes and eager to participate, knowing there's a little reward waiting on that wheel!

Capture Insights in Seconds with Wonder Words

Wonder Words is all about creating those eye-catching word clouds that visually represent group thoughts. During your sales training, ask 'What's one word you'd use to describe successful luxury sales?' or 'Name one key trait of a great sales rep?' As answers pour in, popular words grow larger, giving you—and everyone else—a snapshot of collective priorities and mindsets. It’s like taking your group's pulse in a fun and visual way, perfect for summing up key training points or closing on an optimistic note. Attendees love seeing their contributions come together to form a big picture, literally! It leaves them with a memorable takeaway they’re likely to remember long after the session ends.
