Hey there! We all know during sales training, keeping your audience engaged is crucial, especially when you're training sales teams in insurance companies. If they miss out on key info, it could cost the company big time. So getting them involved and making sure they remember what you taught is super important. Let's dive into some cool ways to keep your audience wide awake and interactive using MS Teams and StreamAlive features.
Bring Locations to Life with Magic Maps
Imagine this: You're kicking off your sales training session and want to break the ice. Ask your attendees, 'Where are you joining us from today?' or 'Share a dream destination you want to visit.' As they type in their locations in the MS Teams chat, you can use the Magic Maps feature to populate their answers on a real-time world map. This gets everyone excited by seeing their locations pop up, and it’s a great way to show how diverse your team is. Plus, it sparks conversation and helps attendees connect over shared locations or dreams of travel. It’s an instant boost in engagement right from the start!
Spark Conversations with Open-Ended Polls
One of the best ways to get genuine feedback and spark discussions is through open-ended polls. Use StreamAlive's Open-Ended Polls during your session to ask questions like 'What’s a game-changing tip that’s helped you in sales?' or 'Share a sales success story.' Participants can type their thoughts directly in the chat, and you'll see a live feed of responses. This not only generates insightful content for discussion but also encourages open communication and sharing of best practices among your sales team.
Boost Interaction with Power Polls
During your session, live interaction is key. Use Power Polls to gauge opinions or test knowledge on various topics, like 'How confident do you feel about selling our new product?' or 'What’s the biggest challenge you face?' As they vote, results appear instantly, turning the session into a lively discussion point. It not only helps you gauge your team's current mood but also lets you address their concerns or uncertainties in real time, tailoring the session to their needs.
Spin Up the Excitement with Winner Wheel
Keep your sales team on their toes by using the Winner Wheel midway through your session. Let's say you've just finished explaining a tricky part of the sales process and want to see who's been paying attention. Encourage participants to drop their key takeaways or a quick comment in the chat. Then, use the Winner Wheel to pick a random winner from those who commented. Not only does this get people to participate actively, but it's also a fun way to reward engagement and keep everyone eager for the next opportunity to win.
Visualize Thoughts with Wonder Words
Wrap up sections of your training by asking participants to sum up their thoughts in a word or two. With Wonder Words, create a live word cloud from answers given in the chat like 'What’s your key takeaway from today’s session?' or 'How do you feel about tackling new sales targets?' As popular words become larger, this gives everyone an at-a-glance view of the group's mindset, sparking further discussion where needed. It’s a dynamic way to bring everyone's voice into the spotlight and ensure you're all on the same page.
Make Tough Decisions Fun with Choice Circle
During your session, live interaction is key. Use Power Polls to gauge opinions or test knowledge on various topics, like 'How confident do you feel about selling our new product?' or 'What’s the biggest challenge you face?' As they vote, results appear instantly, turning the session into a lively discussion point. It not only helps you gauge your team's current mood but also lets you address their concerns or uncertainties in real time, tailoring the session to their needs.
