Hey there, live session rockstars! We all know how crucial it is to keep your audience hooked during a live session, especially when talking about something as detailed as sales training for government contractors. It’s all about keeping everyone engaged so they walk away with the knowledge they need. Why? Because if the sales team misses a key piece of info, it could mean big troubles down the road. That’s why keeping folks involved and making sure they remember what you’re sharing is so important.
Use Magic Maps to Connect Globally
Alright hosts, let’s get this party started with Magic Maps! Imagine kicking off your session by asking everyone "Where are you joining us from today?" and then BAM! All those locations pop up on a world map. It’s a brilliant icebreaker and gets everyone talking right off the bat. You could spice things up by asking about dream travel destinations or which city has their best work memory. Not only does this make your session fun, but it also makes everyone feel like they’re part of a global community. And on MS Teams, seeing these locations mapped out live is a pretty neat way to start a sales training session.
Gather Insights with Opinion Polls
Open-ended questions are gold, and that’s where Opinion Polls come in. Ask your participants how they handle a tough negotiation or what creative solutions they’ve used in sales. StreamAlive will gather all these responses and display them during the session. It’s an excellent way for everyone to learn from each other and for you to tailor your session content based on what your audience actually cares about. More engagement means more learning, which is perfect for ensuring nothing important slips through the cracks.
Power Polls to Drive Engagement
Keep everyone on their toes with Power Polls. You can run quick polls on which sales techniques are the most effective, or perhaps vote on the most common challenges faced in government contracting. With Power Polls, your attendees can just type the option number, making it super easy and interactive. And here's the magic – as results appear in real time, your audience can see how their opinions match up with others, sparking conversation and deeper interest in your training content.
Winner Wheel: Make Participation Rewarding
Who doesn’t love to win something, right? During your session, use the Winner Wheel to randomly pick a winner from those actively participating in the chat. It’s like adding a sprinkle of fun and competition. For sales training, consider selecting a winner who can share a key takeaway from a discussion or perhaps the best pitch idea. Not only does this encourage more active participation, but it also helps reinforce learning as everyone pays attention to see if their contribution is chosen.
Wonder Words: Visualize Thoughts in Real Time
Last but not least, let’s talk Wonder Words. As your session unfolds, use this feature to create real-time word clouds from responses in the chat. Ask questions like, "What’s the first word that comes to mind when you think of government sales?" or "Name one strategy you always rely on." As words appear and grow based on popularity, this visual tool ensures everyone sees the common themes or new ideas popping up. It’s a simple yet compelling way to reinforce key points and make your session visually dynamic on MS Teams.
Choice Circle: Decisions Made Easy
Keep everyone on their toes with Power Polls. You can run quick polls on which sales techniques are the most effective, or perhaps vote on the most common challenges faced in government contracting. With Power Polls, your attendees can just type the option number, making it super easy and interactive.
