Hey there, MS Teams hosts! We all know training without engagement is like selling a car without wheels—it just won't go anywhere! Especially for sales pros in recruitment agencies, where missing a key detail in the sales process can really cost the company big bucks. That's why keeping your audience engaged is super crucial. If your folks aren't tuned in, they won't soak up the vital knowledge they need for success. So, let's dive into how you can keep them engaged, attentive, and, most importantly, how you can help them remember what they've learned long after your session's over.
Put Your Audience on the Map
Start your MS Teams live session with a bang using StreamAlive's Magic Maps. It's a brilliant way to get folks chatting right at the start. Kick things off by asking attendees, 'Where in the world are you joining us from today?' StreamAlive plots these locations on a real-time map, helping everyone to feel connected right from the get-go. Or, make it fun by asking 'If you could teleport anywhere for your next sales pitch meeting, where would it be?' This feature brings a sense of community, reminds everyone they're part of a global team, and keeps them checking back in to see where everyone's from.
Gather Insights with Open-Ended Polls
Sometimes it's not just about choosing options, but hearing full-on opinions. That’s where StreamAlive’s Open-Ended Polls come in handy. These polls let you capture your team’s thoughts in a more detailed way. Ask questions like 'What’s the hardest part about pitching to new clients?' or 'Share a quick tip that’s helped you recently.' Their answers appear live, making everyone feel heard and sparking new ideas in your sales training. It's a fantastic way to get everyone thinking creatively and sharing personal insights.
Get Real-Time Feedback with Power Polls
Polls are a staple of any training session, but StreamAlive's Power Polls take things to the next level on MS Teams. Want to know what part of the sales process your team struggles with most? Or which new strategy they'd like to explore more? Fire up a poll during your session. It’s super easy to set up, and your team can respond right in the chat. This instant feedback not only keeps the audience engaged but also gives you real-time insights into their thoughts and opinions—helpful for tailoring the rest of your session on the fly.
Spin the Wheel for a Winning Engagement
Keep your audience buzzing with the excitement of the Spinner Wheel. During your session, you might find certain folks more chatty while others are a bit shy. Use this feature to encourage participation by randomly rewarding those who engage. For example, choose a winner for sharing the best sales tip, or for the person who solves a tricky sales scenario. The anticipation of seeing the wheel spin and picking a winner can turn a mundane moment into a thrilling experience! Plus, it's a great way to make sure everyone feels they have a fair shot at being rewarded for joining in.
Visualize Thoughts with Wonder Words
Looking for a way to capture thoughts and ideas on MS Teams that evolve as you go? StreamAlive's Wonder Words feature is your best friend. It turns audience input into dynamic word clouds, perfect for capturing what your team thinks is the essence of a successful pitch or the qualities of a great recruiter. Try asking them to sum up their sales philosophy in one word. As words populate, it creates a lively visual representation of your collective mindset. It’s engaging, and seeing their words manifest in real-time can be super motivating. Plus, it’s a great way to sum up key points or themes at the end of your session.
Decide Who's Next with Choice Circle
