Hey there Zoom hosts! Let's talk about why it's super important to keep your audience engaged during live sessions, especially when we're talking about sales training for nonprofits and NGOs. If your sales team misses a critical detail, it could end up costing a lot. That's why making sure your participants are tuned in and actually learning is vital. The more engaged they are, the more they'll remember, and that means better outcomes for your organization.
Spice Things Up with Magic Maps
Kick off your live session with a bang by asking your audience where they’re tuning in from, using Magic Maps. This feature lets you visually connect the dots on a global scale as attendees type their locations in the chat—perfect for a diverse non-profit team scattered across the globe. You can also ask them about their dream destinations or special memories attached to a city. Not only does this make for a great ice-breaker, but it also gives everyone a sense of community, which is pretty awesome when you're all logging in from different corners of the world.
Capture Insights with Opinion Polls
Opinion Polls are your go-to for subject matter that needs a personal touch. You could ask open-ended questions like 'Share a fundraising story that had a major impact' or 'What's a sales tip that works for your nonprofit?' Gathering these insights not only sparks interesting discussions but also enriches the learning experience for all attendees. Plus, it’s a great way to share knowledge and collective wisdom within the group.
Engage with Power Polls
To understand your audience better, throw in a Power Poll. Ask them questions like 'What’s your biggest challenge in a sales pitch?' or 'Which part of the sales process confuses you the most?' This not only gives you instant feedback but also helps tailor your session to focus on areas of interest to your audience. Real-time results create a dynamic interaction between your session content and your participants, keeping everyone alert and involved.
Get the Crowd Going with Winner Wheel
Nothing pumps up a session like a bit of friendly competition. Enter the Winner Wheel. Use it to motivate your attendees to comment more by offering fun prizes or recognition for participation throughout the session. Whether it's rewarding someone for their insightful comments or randomly picking a participant who answered a question, the Winner Wheel keeps everyone on their toes and eager to join in. This adds a bit of fun and excitement to your sales training, making it memorable and engaging.
Visualize Ideas with Wonder Words
Using Wonder Words during your session is a fantastic way to visualize audience input. Pose a question like 'What's the one skill you need to improve in sales?' or 'Name a tool that helps you track NGO sales leads.' As responses flood in, they form a dynamic word cloud which highlights key ideas and common themes. This feature can turn abstract responses into something visually engaging, helping you and your attendees to easily spot what's trending in the chat.
Make Decisions Easier with Choice Circle
To understand your audience better, throw in a Power Poll. Ask them questions like 'What’s your biggest challenge in a sales pitch?' or 'Which part of the sales process confuses you the most?' This not only gives you instant feedback but also helps tailor your session to focus on areas of interest to your audience. Real-time results create a dynamic interaction between your session content and your participants, keeping everyone alert and involved.
