Let's face it, a sales training session, especially on Google Meet, isn't just about ticking off a box on your to-do list. It's about making sure every sales employee is locked in, getting the info they need so when they're out there selling, they aren't missing a beat. Because missing out? That could cost the company big time. So, getting that engagement right means your team’s ready to rock their sales game.

Using Magic Maps to Know Your Sales Team

Start your session by breaking the ice and bringing everyone together with Magic Maps. Ask participants, 'Where in the world are you joining us from?' or 'Which city is your next big sales goal located in?' This makes everyone feel like they're a part of a larger community. For sales teams who could be scattered across various manufacturing hubs, seeing those locations pop up on a map in real-time can spark connection and pride. It's not just locations; it’s showing that every individual is an important part of the bigger picture.

Sharing Thoughts with Opinion Polls

Having a diverse sales team means tons of valuable insights can be shared. Use Open-Ended Polls to encourage the sharing of thoughts on topics like 'What's the most effective strategy you've used in closing a deal?' or 'Share one improvement you'd like to see in our training.' This helps everyone learn from each other’s experiences, creating a vibrant pool of knowledge and ideas that can make the session more enriching and meaningful.

Gauge Understanding with Power Polls

You want to ensure your session is sinking in, right? Use Power Polls to throw in quick questions and see instantly how well your team is absorbing the session's content. Ask things like, 'Which part of the sales funnel do you find most challenging?' or 'How confident are you with the new pricing strategy?' This not only gives you a real-time snapshot of their understanding but allows you to tweak your approach if needed during the session.

Getting the Buzz with Winner Wheel

Who doesn't love a bit of healthy competition? Using the Winner Wheel during your session can crank up the energy. For instance, after discussing a new sales strategy, announce a random winner who contributed during that discussion. Or, create a challenge—like who can recall the key points the fastest and let the wheel pick! This not only encourages participation but ensures everyone’s actively listening, knowing they might win a fun prize. Remember, it’s all about keeping things exciting and dynamic!

Capture Key Takeaways with Wonder Words

Wrap up your session by getting everyone to think about what they’ve learned. Use Wonder Words to ask, 'What’s the top takeaway from today’s session?' or 'Name one new tactic you're eager to try.' As words pop up, everyone sees a visual of what stood out most. It not only reinforces their learning but also gets them to reflect on the session's value. It’s a simple, effective way of making those final thoughts stick!

Simplifying Decisions with Choice Circle
