Hey Team! So, we all know how crucial it is to keep everyone engaged during our MS Teams live sessions, especially when it comes to sales training for real estate agencies. If we don't capture the team's attention and ensure they understand each point, they might miss out on key information, which, let's face it, can cost the company big time. So, let's explore how we can pump up the engagement and help everyone retain all the important stuff with the help of StreamAlive's fun features.
Mapping the Audience's World
Magic Maps is like asking your audience, 'Where in the world are you tuning in from?' and seeing it all light up on a world map. For your sales training, start with a warm 'Where are you logging in from?' This not only breaks the ice but also visually connects everyone, making them feel seen and included. What about ending with, 'Share a dream vacation destination you'd close a sale from!' This not only makes the session fun but subtly aligns their dreams with their sales goals. Magic Maps is perfect for visual engagement and geographical insights into your team’s diversity too!

Exploring Perspectives
Open-Ended Opinion Polls allow for deeper dives into what the audience thinks or feels. Ask your team, 'What creative sales tactic are you currently experimenting with?' This invites sharing of insights and unique experiences, sparking discussions. Another one might be, 'Describe in one word how you feel about current market trends.' It’s a great way to gauge the session’s emotional temperature, giving you insights to adapt the flow accordingly and ensure everyone is on the same page.
Power Up with Polls
Power Polls bring in a quick burst of engaging opinion-sharing. When discussing challenges in sales, ask, 'What's the toughest part of your sales process?' and offer options like 'Finding leads' or 'Closing deals.' This helps identify problem areas while involving everyone in decision-making. Or, when wrapping up, a 'Which strategy are you excited to try?' poll can help emphasize the session's main focus. This immediate feedback ensures everyone feels their voice matters, making the training more dynamic and participant-driven.

Spin to Win Engagement
The Winner Wheel is like bringing a game show into your session. Say you’re discussing new sales strategies—encourage input with, 'Share a strategy tip in the chat to spin the Wheel of Fortune!' or 'Comment your current sales challenge.' As you spin, everyone’s eagerly waiting to see who gets chosen, fostering an environment where commenting becomes irresistible. It's a playful way to encourage participation and reward those who are actively contributing. Plus, you can choose to spin for a small prize or recognition, increasing motivation to engage.

Visualizing Thoughts
Wonder Words helps transform chat input into a cool visual word cloud. Start your session with a 'What’s the first word that comes to mind when you hear ‘Sales Success’?' This instantly creates an engaging start, offering a snapshot of your audience’s mindset. Or at the end, 'Sum up today’s training in one word.' This not only captures the essence and impact of the session but also acts as immediate feedback on what resonated most, ensuring everyone leaves with a sense of connection and accomplishment.
