Hey there, fellow MS Teams host! We all know that hosting a live sales training session for healthcare staff can be pretty intense, right? With so much riding on these sessions, missing key info during the sales process can seriously dent the company's bottom line. That's why keeping our audience engaged and ensuring they really retain the knowledge is super important. Let’s dive into how StreamAlive can help us do just that—because nobody wants to nod off in a meeting when we’re talking serious sales stuff.
Make It Global with Magic Maps
Kicking off your session with StreamAlive's Magic Maps is a brilliant way to immediately draw folks in. When you start your MS Teams training and ask, 'Where's everyone joining us from today?', you can watch as Magic Maps plots these locations on a real-time world map. It's a perfect icebreaker! Not only does this visualize the diversity in your session, but it also sets a friendly, inclusive tone. Moreover, when you ask something like 'Which city do you think we'd make the most sales in?', it gets your healthcare sales team thinking strategically from the get-go. A surprise travel-themed question can lighten the mood: 'Dreaming of vacation—where would you teleport if you could right after this session?' These ideas make your team feel part of a bigger picture.
Express Ideas with Opinion Polls
Opinion Polls get the conversation flowing on MS Teams. Ask open-ended questions to prompt thoughtful input, like 'What's one thing you learned today that you'd use ASAP in your sales process?' Watching responses roll in real time keeps the energy high. For a deeper dive, you might prompt ideas on 'How would you improve our current sales pitch for healthcare services?' giving everyone a space to contribute creatively. Closing with a question about what they want to explore in the next session ensures continuous improvement and personalized learning.
Interact Dynamically with Power Polls
Power Polls are a powerhouse for real-time engagement. During your session, run a quick poll like 'What's the biggest challenge you face in closing healthcare deals?' The live results can guide a vibrant discussion. Or perhaps get feedback on a sales technique you're introducing: 'Think this new strategy will boost our numbers?' Having the team vote and discuss their views makes them feel part of the process and ensures they’re not just passive listeners. You can even have fun with it: 'How many cups of coffee have you had today?'—light-hearted but engaging!
Bring Excitement with Winner Wheel
The Winner Wheel is your secret weapon to keep everyone attentive and participating. Suppose you ask your sales folks to comment on strategies they've successfully used in healthcare sales. You can pick a winner among the most insightful comments—encouraging everyone to share and learn from each other. Midway through, maybe around a tricky part of the training, spice it up with a quick draw based on participation. Rewards don't have to be huge; think recognition in front of peers or a small incentive like a gift card. It not only livens up the session but gets even the shy ones typing away!
Capture Thoughts with Wonder Words
Wonder Words are fantastic for reflecting collective thinking. Create a live word cloud by asking 'What’s the one-word that best describes our healthcare sales strategy?' As responses pour in, common themes visually stand out. This can lead to insightful discussion and highlight areas for improvement. Inject a bit of fun by querying a quick 'What's one word to describe today's session?'—seeing words like 'insightful', 'engaging', or 'motivating' show up can be incredibly rewarding and validating for both host and attendees. Plus, it wraps the session on an energetic, engaged note, setting robust ground for future interactions.
Let Choice Circle Make Decisions Easy
Power Polls are a powerhouse for real-time engagement. During your session, run a quick poll like 'What's the biggest challenge you face in closing healthcare deals?' The live results can guide a vibrant discussion. Or perhaps get feedback on a sales technique you're introducing: 'Think this new strategy will boost our numbers?' Having the team vote and discuss their views makes them feel part of the process and ensures they’re not just passive listeners. You can even have fun with it: 'How many cups of coffee have you had today?'—light-hearted but engaging!
