Put Them on the Map with Magic Maps
Let's get your audience talking right from the get-go with Magic Maps! When attendees pop into your Zoom chat, ask them to share their location on the globe. You can start with something like, 'Where in the world are you from?' or 'Share a dream travel destination.' As the sales team members respond, watch their locations light up on the map! It’s a fantastic icebreaker and makes everyone feel included. Maybe even toss in a question like, 'Which city has helped inspire your sales strategy?' It’s a fun way to kick things off and get them yapping.
