Engaging your audience during a live session isn't just a nice idea—it's absolutely essential. Especially when you're training sales teams, like those in the construction industry. If salespeople miss something crucial during training, it could lead to costly mistakes and lost deals. That's why keeping your audience tuned in and retaining what they learn is super important. With StreamAlive's cool features integrated with MS Teams, you can make your sessions more lively and engaging, ensuring your attendees stay focused and absorb everything they need to know.
Putting Magic Maps to Work
Magic Maps is a fantastic feature to kick off your MS Teams sales training with a bang. You can ask attendees 'Where in the world are you joining us from?' and watch as their locations light up on a real-time earth map! This not only breaks the ice but also visually connects your team, no matter where they are in the world. You could also ask them to share a dream construction project location they've always wanted to visit or work on. By seeing all these locations, your attendees feel more connected as a team!

Open Up the Floor with Opinion Polls
Use Open-Ended Opinion Polls to let your attendees share their thoughts freely. You could ask them about the most memorable sales experience they’ve had or what they'd do differently in a challenging sale. This encourages them to share personal insights and learn from each other’s experiences. With real-time updates, everyone feels like their input matters, enhancing engagement and retention.
Get Instant Feedback with Power Polls
Power Polls are perfect for gauging your audience’s opinions or understanding where they stand on certain topics. Ask them about the biggest challenges they face in the construction sales process or what kind of projects they're most interested in. The instant feedback not only guides your training but also makes attendees feel heard and valued. Plus, seeing poll results live on MS Teams keeps everyone engaged and part of the conversation.

Spice Things Up with Winner Wheel
Winner Wheel is your go-to for sparking a little competition and boosting participation during your training. During a session, pick a random winner based on who's active in the chat—just ask everyone to share their best sales tip for the construction industry and pick a winner! Another fun idea is to reward someone who answers the most correct quiz questions about the latest safety protocols. The random element keeps your audience on their toes and encourages even the shy ones to join in.

Visualize Ideas with Wonder Words
Wonder Words is great for capturing the collective thoughts of your audience in real-time. Ask a question like 'What's the most important skill for a construction sales rep?' As they type in their replies, you’ll see the most popular words or phrases appear larger in the word cloud. It's a quick and visual way to understand what your audience values or prioritizes, and it's a fantastic way to wrap up a session by reflecting on key takeaways. It's simple, fun, and keeps everyone participating actively right till the end.

Decide Easily with Choice Circle
Power Polls are perfect for gauging your audience’s opinions or understanding where they stand on certain topics. Ask them about the biggest challenges they face in the construction sales process or what kind of projects they're most interested in.
