Hey there MS Teams rockstars! We all know how crucial it is to keep the room buzzing with energy during a sales training session, right? Especially in the retail industry, missing out on essential sales tips can really cost us. Engaging with your audience isn’t just about making your live session lively, it’s about ensuring every sales trick sticks with your team like glue. Let’s dive into how we can make that happen!
Map Out Your Audience Energy with Magic Maps
Let’s begin by setting the stage with a little geographical energy using Magic Maps. Right at the start of your sales training session, ask participants, 'Where are you joining us from today?' Watch as StreamAlive brings this info to life by plotting these locations on a real-time map! This doesn’t just break the ice; it also forms a connection among the team, creating a sense of belonging. You can also spice things up a bit by asking a question like, 'If you could train anywhere in the world, where would it be?' It's an engaging way to transition into your session while everyone feels seen and heard.
Open Up the Floor with Opinion Polls
When you want unstructured feedback or insights, Opinion Polls are fantastic. Pose a question like ‘What’s the most challenging part of upselling in-store?’ and let your audience take the stage by populating their responses in real-time. This can be used to foster discussions that address real challenges your team faces in the retail arena. It’s a prime way to ensure your training aligns perfectly with their on-ground challenges.
Get the Pulse of Your Team with Power Polls
Understanding your team’s experiences can provide you with real-time insights, and that's where Power Polls come in. Ask them questions like 'Which sales tactic brings you the most success?' or 'How confident do you feel implementing new training tips?' Not only do these polls gather important feedback, but they can highlight trends and insights that shape future training. Plus, it’s visually immediate, giving everyone a peek into team dynamics at a glance.
Rev up the Excitement with Winner Wheel
Now, nothing grabs attention like a little suspense, right? The Winner Wheel is the perfect tool to sprinkle some excitement throughout your session. Use it to randomly select someone from the chat to share their biggest sales success story or a quick tip. You could also spin to decide who gets to ask the next question, or even spice it up with small prizes for those super engaged participants. It’s a fun and inclusive way to keep everyone on their toes and involved in the conversation.
Capture Ideas in Real-Time with Wonder Words
Last but definitely not least, Wonder Words is an awesome way to visualize collective thoughts. During your session, throw in questions like ‘What’s one word that describes a perfect customer experience?’ or ‘Add a word that represents a successful sale’. As team members type in their responses, these words grow bigger on the screen, visually capturing the pulse of your group. It’s creative, it’s interactive, and it gives voice to everyone involved, making the session memorable and impactful.
Let the Choice Circle Decide for the Team
