Hey there, MS Teams session hosts! We've all been there, trying to hold our audience's attention while delivering crucial sales training. Imagine this: crucial information gets missed, and the impact? Well, that could be costly, especially in sales. That’s why keeping your audience engaged is not just important—it's absolutely necessary. Lucky for us, StreamAlive steps in as an engagement superhero. Whether you're hosting a sales training session for nonprofits or NGOs, you want your attendees to not only stay attentive but to retain the knowledge shared throughout. Let’s dive into some fun, engaging, and super effective StreamAlive features that can elevate your live session from 'so-so' to unforgettable!
Engage Attendees with Magic Maps
Magic Maps is the go-to feature to get everyone in your MS Teams sales training session talking right from the start. Begin with a classic 'Where are you joining us from?' as you kick off the session. This feature helps paint a real-time picture of the diverse locations your attendees are tuning in from, giving everyone a quick geography lesson and starting conversations. Besides, you can ask a fun question like 'Which location has your dream client?' This not only gets them talking but subtly nudges them to think about prospects worldwide. These Magic Maps make everyone feel seen and part of a community, keeping the excitement and interest alive from the get-go.
Spark Discussions with Open-Ended Opinion Polls
Open-Ended Opinion Polls are fantastic for inviting detailed responses and sparking discussions in your sales training session. Try asking, 'What’s one sales tactic that always works for you?' With this setup in the chat, attendees can share strategies while learning from peers. This can turn into a valuable idea-sharing opportunity, encouraging shared learning experiences. You could also ask for feedback on a role-play or exercise, fostering an open dialogue. It’s a natural way to encourage everyone to voice their thoughts and supports a culture of continual improvement.
Boost Engagement with Power Polls
Power Polls are a fantastic way to gather instant feedback during your MS Teams session. You might want to know, 'What sales technique do you struggle with the most?' Tap into StreamAlive’s power polls to get a feel for the room. This instant feedback lets you tweak the session on-the-fly based on audience input. Even more, you can use these during a mock sales call exercise to choose which closing strategy to practice. By involving attendees actively using Power Polls, you get them thinking critically about the topics and consolidating their learning through participation.
Drive Comment Participation with Winner Wheel
Give your MS Teams chat a boost with the Winner Wheel! This nifty tool is perfect for getting more comments during your sales training session. Let your participants know that you’ll be using the winner wheel to pick a lucky commenter at random. This is perfect for, let’s say, rewarding someone who shares how they overcame a sales challenge in the chat. You can also use it to select someone who answers a mock sales question correctly, turning learning into a game-like experience. The Winner Wheel takes the edge off and makes answering feel rewarding, not daunting, keeping the chat lively and engaging throughout your session.
Reflect Audience Ideas with Wonder Words
Use Wonder Words to visualize the room's mind map. For your sales training session, drop a question like 'Describe our target audience in one word.' As people respond, you'll quickly create a lively, engaging visual reflecting everyone's thoughts. It's a great icebreaker at the start or after a break to get people talking, like asking 'What’s one word that embodies this training?' Later, you can use this in strategy discussions, making abstract ideas more tangible and memorable. Word clouds are not just fun—they’re a brilliant way to reinforce learning as attendees see their input directly impacting the session.
