Hey there, live session hosts! We all know the hustle of keeping your audience engaged in live sessions, right? It’s like herding cats sometimes. But here's the thing: when it comes to sales training, especially for higher education institutions, keeping your audience tuned in is super important. Missing even a tiny bit of info in sales could cost the company big time. But don't worry, we've got your back! Grabbing attention and holding onto it through the whole session can help improve understanding and keep those nuggets of wisdom from slipping through the cracks. We're about to dive into some awesome StreamAlive features that can really make a difference in creating an interactive and memorable session on Google Meet.

Mapping Out Engaging Connections with Magic Maps

Kickstart your Google Meet session with a bang using Magic Maps! Picture this: your attendees drop their locations in the chat, and voila! They see their spots pop up on the map in real-time. It's like opening a window into everyone’s world. For a sales training session, start by asking, 'Which city is your institution located in?' Or how about getting everyone to share their dream campus destination? Even simple questions like, 'If you could host a sales seminar anywhere globally, where would it be?' can break the ice and get people chatting. Magic Maps not only brings the audience together visually, but it also adds a fun, engaging twist right at the beginning.

Dive Deep into Thoughts with Open-Ended Opinion Polls

Want to spark a deeper conversation? Open-Ended Opinion Polls are your go-to. They allow attendees to share what's on their minds directly through the chat. Questions like, 'What’s one thing you hope to learn today about B2B sales?’ or ‘Share your top sales success story’ give you insight into your audience's thoughts while encouraging them to engage more with the content. This real-time interaction creates a sense of community and keeps participants eager to contribute.

Get Instant Feedback with Power Polls

Engage your audience by taking their pulse instantly with Power Polls. It's all about creating those Aha! moments together. Pose questions like, 'What’s the most challenging part of a sales negotiation?' with predefined options to get quick, valuable feedback. You could also ask, 'How confident are you in your current sales strategy?' and watch the live response unfold to tailor your discussion accordingly. This interaction makes attendees feel heard and valued, directly impacting how they absorb and process the training info.

Spinning Up Excitement with Winner Wheel

Keep that energy flowing with the Winner Wheel. Let's face it, not everyone speaks up during a session. So why not give them a little nudge with some random rewards? You can set the wheel to choose a winner from those who actively comment, perhaps at certain checkpoints during your session. Think about hyping it up by saying, 'We're giving away an exclusive case study download to one lucky commentator!' Or maybe spin the wheel to surprise someone who answered a tricky sales challenge question. It's all about encouraging interaction and activity!

Visualize Ideas with Wonder Words

Turn your Google Meet chat into a colorful sea of ideas with Wonder Words. As sales folks type their answers, you'll see a word cloud emerge right before your eyes, emphasizing the most popular ideas. Try questions like, 'What’s your go-to sales closing technique?' or 'Share a keyword that best describes your approach to higher education sales.' These word clouds show trends at a glance and can even uncover unexpected commonalities among participants, boosting a sense of camaraderie and shared purpose.

Decisions Made Simple with Choice Circle

Engage your audience by taking their pulse instantly with Power Polls. It's all about creating those Aha! moments together. Pose questions like, 'What’s the most challenging part of a sales negotiation?' with predefined options to get quick, valuable feedback. You could also ask, 'How confident are you in your current sales strategy?' and watch the live response unfold to tailor your discussion accordingly. This interaction makes attendees feel heard and valued, directly impacting how they absorb and process the training info.
