Hey there, Zoom hosts! We all know how crucial it is to keep your audience engaged in those live sessions, especially when it comes to sales training for manufacturing companies. If your sales team misses out on key details, it could cost the company big time. That's why keeping the audience's attention and ensuring they retain that knowledge is super important. So, let’s dive into some fun and effective ways to boost engagement using StreamAlive's features!
Bring Out the Magic with Magic Maps
Picture this: you start your session by asking ‘Where's everyone tuning in from today?’ and boom, as folks type in their locations, a world map starts filling up in real-time! Magic Maps is not just a fun icebreaker but a great way to visually connect the dots about where your audience is based. For a sales training session, you could ask, 'If you could sell our products anywhere in the world, where would it be?' or 'Which manufacturing hub are you closest to?' This gives everyone a feel of being part of a global community and gets them interacting right from the start.
Open the Floor with Opinion Polls
It's open-mic time with Opinion Polls. Encourage sharing by asking, 'What’s one piece of advice for dealing with hesitant buyers?' or 'Share a success story from your sales journey last month.' This format allows for more extensive answers, and by displaying them as they come in, you foster a sense of community knowledge-sharing. Perfect for drawing in quieter attendees who might have gold-level insights!
Get Smart with Power Polls
To really know what your attendees are thinking, Power Polls come in handy. Imagine polling your audience on 'What's the most challenging part of the sales process for you?' or 'How confident do you feel closing a deal?' By showing polling results in real-time, you make sure everyone’s voice is heard, and topics can be adjusted on the fly to address majority concerns. A direct and real-time way to read the room!
Spin Up Engagement with the Winner Wheel
Alright, you've got your audience warmed up, but how do you keep them commenting? Enter the Winner Wheel! Give your sales trainees an incentive to participate by picking out a random winner for the most insightful comment or question. Say, after discussing a key sales strategy, spin the wheel to reward those who share actionable insights or ideas. Or select a winner from a list of attendees who successfully completed a task you’ve set during the session. This keeps everyone on their toes and eager to share their thoughts.
Reveal Key Themes with Wonder Words
Now let’s make those comments and answers pop with Wonder Words. Ask your sales trainees, 'What’s the one word you think of when selling our products?' or 'Name a skill that’s crucial for closing deals.' As the word cloud forms, you can highlight the most recurring themes in your session, making it easier for everyone to focus on what truly matters. A word cloud can also serve as a visual recap that can help retention—everyone sees the highlights in big, bold letters!
Decisions Made Fun with Choice Circle
