Let's face it, getting your sales team to sit through a Zoom training without checking their phones or getting distracted is tough. But, it's crucial. If they miss out on key info, it could cost your company big. That's why engaging your audience and making sure they actually remember what you taught them is super important. StreamAlive's real-time interaction tools can help you keep your audience connected and invested.
Kick Things Off with Magic Maps
Magic Maps is like your go-to icebreaker. Start your session by asking your audience, 'Where in the world are you joining us from today?' and watch as StreamAlive plots these locations live on a map. For a sales session, consider asking, 'Which city have you closed your most memorable deal in?' or 'If you could teleport anywhere for a sales meeting, where would it be?' This not only breaks the ice but also offers insights into your team's diverse experiences.
Capture Thoughts with Open-Ended Opinion Polls
Sometimes, you need more than a yes or no. Opinion Polls give your audience space to tell you what they really think. For instance, after discussing new communication techniques, ask, 'What's the best tip you've learned today?' or 'Share a sales tactic that's always worked for you.' These responses can guide your follow-up sessions, ensuring you tackle the topics that matter most to your team.
Get Instant Feedback with Power Polls
Power Polls are perfect for those times when you need real-time feedback during your sessions. Maybe you're introducing a new sales strategy and want to know 'Who thinks this approach will improve our client meetings?' or 'On a scale of 1-5, how confident do you feel about implementing this?' Polls let you gauge your team's confidence and understanding on the spot, adjusting your session content as needed.
Spice It Up with the Winner Wheel
Keep your team on their toes with the Winner Wheel. Encourage everyone to participate by letting them know that commenting during certain discussions might win them a prize. For example, after a segment on handling objections during sales calls, you can say, 'Comment your experience or tip, and I'll spin the Winner Wheel for a surprise gift!' It's a fun way to get everyone talking and sharing their insights, and who doesn't love a little bit of friendly competition for a prize?
