Hey there, session hosts! We all know how critical it is to keep the audience engaged during a live session, especially when it's sales training for banking services on MS Teams. If your audience isn't tuned in and misses key information, it could seriously cost the company big time. So we're here to give you the rundown on how to use StreamAlive's interaction features to boost engagement, attendance, and knowledge retention. Let's dive into some cool techniques that'll keep your audience from zoning out and help them remember those crucial sales pitch details.
Make Geography Fun with Magic Maps
To kick off your sales training session on MS Teams, why not start with a question like, 'Where are you joining us from today?' or 'Which city holds your most memorable sales deal?' Using StreamAlive's Magic Maps, you can plot their responses right on a real-time map. This way, you instantly visualize the diverse locations of your participants, making everyone feel connected and involved. Plus, it's a great way to break the ice and add a personal touch to your session. It's like turning your regular intros into a global tour of your audience’s sales adventures!
Capture Thoughts with Open-Ended Polls
Want to dive deep into your audience's thoughts? Use Open-Ended Polls to ask questions like, 'What was your biggest sales win?' or 'Describe a time you turned a difficult client around.' Attendees can share their experiences, and you'll see a range of insights in real time. It's a fantastic way to gather qualitative feedback and crowdsource solutions to common challenges. Plus, it turns learning into a collective experience, making everyone feel valued for their contributions. Plus, those shared stories can be great conversation starters!
Engage Them with Power Polls
Keep your audience on their toes and get instant feedback with Power Polls. Ask them about their preferred sales approach—'Do you prefer cold calling or networking?'—and watch as the live results roll in. This not only keeps participants engaged but also makes them a part of shaping the session’s focus. Maybe ask them about their experience with a particular banking service challenge and see which ones resonate the most. You’ll get valuable insights right away and can adjust your session accordingly. It's audience feedback and market research, all in one.
Create Excitement with the Winner Wheel
During your training session, you might notice some attendees are quieter than others. Why not shake things up with the Winner Wheel? You can encourage participation by selecting a random winner from those who comment on a particular sales strategy discussion. Or, if you're discussing sales scenarios, pick a winner from those who were most active. This adds an element of surprise and incentivizes everyone to join in. And, who doesn't love winning a small prize or even just the recognition in front of their peers? It's all about keeping that energy going throughout your session.
Summarize Discussions with Wonder Words
As the session progresses, you might want a quick visual summary of what’s been discussed. That’s where Wonder Words come in handy. Ask your participants to summarize key strategies they've learned in one or two words. As they type into the chat, create a word cloud that grows and changes with their input. Use prompts like 'One word that describes a successful sales technique' or 'A key takeaway from today.' You’ll not only reinforce what’s been learned but also see which concepts stood out the most. It’s a fun, creative way to close or recap a session! This makes it so much easier for your sales team to remember key points even after the session ends.
Decide with Ease using Choice Circle
Keep your audience on their toes and get instant feedback with Power Polls. Ask them about their preferred sales approach—'Do you prefer cold calling or networking?'—and watch as the live results roll in. This not only keeps participants engaged but also makes them a part of shaping the session’s focus. Maybe ask them about their experience with a particular banking service challenge and see which ones resonate the most. You’ll get valuable insights right away and can adjust your session accordingly. It's audience feedback and market research, all in one.
