Hey there, live session hosts! We all know how crucial it is for our sales teams to get every bit of information during training sessions. Missing out on key details can cost a lot, right? That’s why keeping your audience engaged and ensuring they retain what they learn in these sales training sessions are super important. Let’s dive into some cool ways to make your Zoom sessions not just interactive but also memorable!
Get Geographical with Magic Maps
Kicking off a session with something visually engaging can capture everyone's attention right from the get-go. Magic Maps is perfect for this. Just imagine starting your sales training by asking, 'Where's everyone tuning in from today?' As responses light up the map with locations, it becomes a great icebreaker, making everyone feel a bit closer despite being miles apart. You could also ask, 'Which education hub have you admired the most and why?' or 'If you could hold a seminar anywhere in the world, where would you choose?' These geographical touches can stimulate some interesting opening chats.
Capture Thoughts with Open-Ended Opinion Polls
Opinion Polls are perfect for those 'let's see what everyone thinks' moments. During a session, ask something like, 'What’s the biggest challenge you face when selling to educational institutions?' or 'What teaching method do you think resonates most with the modern-day student?' The open-ended nature gathers a variety of inputs, sparking discussions that might have gone unnoticed. It's a brilliant way to keep the conversation fluid and inclusive, allowing every attendee to voice their unique perspective.
Engage Instantly with Power Polls
Power Polls are your go-to when you want immediate feedback or participation. Say you’re covering various sales techniques in the education sector and want to know which ones resonate most with your audience. Launch a quick Power Poll with options for them to choose from, like digital marketing, face-to-face, or perhaps partnerships with educational institutions. Not only does this keep your session dynamic, but it also gives you insights into what content engages your audience most, tailoring your approach as you go.
Spice Things Up with the Winner Wheel
The Winner Wheel is like adding a fun game show element to your session. It's perfect for rewarding those actively participating. Say you've just covered a complex topic on CRM software and attendees are sharing their thoughts in the chat. Use the Winner Wheel to randomly select one of the commenters as a prize winner! You can do this in between sessions to keep energy levels up. Another idea? Use it to reward those who take part in role-play exercises - a little incentive never hurt anyone! You'll find your attendees keen to chip in, just to have a spin at the wheel.
Visualize Ideas with Wonder Words
Using Wonder Words is like crafting a colorful tapestry of your audience’s thoughts. You can pop questions like, 'Sum up a successful sales pitch in one word,' or 'What’s the most important quality in an education industry salesperson?' As answers stream in, they beautifully visualize in the word cloud, with popular answers growing bigger. It’s not only engaging but also provides a snapshot of what collectively stands out to everyone, which can be a great discussion starter! Plus, it adds a visually stimulating element to your presentation—who doesn’t love that?
