Hey there, live session hosts! We all know how tricky it can be to keep everyone engaged during a Zoom session, especially one about sales training. If your sales team misses out on key information, it could cost the pharma company a lot in lost opportunities. That’s why keeping your audience involved and boosting their knowledge retention is super important. StreamAlive's features can help you do just that, ensuring every training session is as impactful as possible.
Kick Off with Magic Maps
Starting a session by asking, 'Where is everyone logging in from today?' using Magic Maps is a great icebreaker. For a sales training context, you can tweak the question to something like, 'Which city are you currently selling in?' or 'Where do you see the biggest potential for our products?' This way, not only do you make a geographical connection with your participants, but you also focus on the market areas they relate to. It’s fun to see those spots lighting up on the map and it adds a personal touch which will keep them paying attention.
Engage with Open-Ended Opinion Polls
Open-Ended Polls are perfect for when you need a broader range of answers. Prompt the audience with questions like, 'What potential hurdles do you face in sales meetings?' or 'Describe one customer interaction that taught you something valuable.' These interactive moments allow you to gather insights you'll treasure, if you want to tailor future sales training even better. You'll be surprised at the level of engagement and unfiltered insights this can bring.
Gauge Understanding with Power Polls
Kick off discussions by dropping a Power Poll into your session. You can poll questions like, 'Which sales technique have you had the most success with?' or 'Rate your comfort level with the new product regulations.' Those participating can quickly respond, letting you know where the group stands. Seeing those live results can help you tailor the session to focus on areas that need more attention or celebrate the techniques already working well.
Create Buzz with Winner Wheel
Once into the session, use the Winner Wheel to keep the energy high. This could be a fun way to reward contributions in the chat about role-play scenarios or sales pitches you've gone over. You could say, 'Everyone who adds a unique selling tip gets entered into a draw,' and let the wheel pick a winner. Or, maybe after a session on 'Closing Techniques,' reward the person who asks the most insightful question. It adds a competitive element that might just prompt more involvement from quieter members.
Visualize Ideas with Wonder Words
Wonder Words is a fantastic way to gather quick feedback or brainstorm in real-time. Ask participants questions like, 'Sum up the biggest sales challenge in one word,' or 'What’s one word to describe our competitive edge?'. As participants drop their answers in the chat, you'll see which concepts take the lead, visually represented in a word cloud. Not only does this keep everyone engaged, it also visually reinforces the key points that need addressing or celebrating.
Decision-Making with Choice Circle
Kick off discussions by dropping a Power Poll into your session. You can poll questions like, 'Which sales technique have you had the most success with?' or 'Rate your comfort level with the new product regulations.' Those participating can quickly respond, letting you know where the group stands. Seeing those live results can help you tailor the session to focus on areas that need more attention or celebrate the techniques already working well.
