Let's face it, keeping your audience glued to the screen during a live Google Meet session can be tough, especially when it's a sales training for startups. We all know that if your sales team misses a beat, it could end up costing your company big time. That's why keeping everyone engaged and making sure the stuff you teach sticks is super important. Engaged attendees are more likely to remember what they learn, participate actively, and eventually, excel in closing deals for your startup.
Put Your Audience on the Map with Magic Maps
Magic Maps is like your trusty GPS for engagement. Kick off your sales training session by asking your team where they're tuning in from. As they type in their locations in the chat box, you'll see those places pop up on a real-time map. It's not just a fun icebreaker; it's a way to connect your team from different parts of the planet in one virtual room. To spice things up, you could ask them to share their dream sales location or the best spot they’d like to close a major deal. The visual of everyone plotting on the map also sets a positive, interactive tone for the session.
Open Dialogue with Opinion Polls
Opinion Polls are awesome for getting the lowdown on what your team really thinks. Curious about new sales tools? Ask something like, 'What's one tool you believe could revolutionize our sales game?' You'll quickly find out what matters most to your team, making them feel heard and valued. You can also ask open-ended questions after discussing a new concept to check which parts of the training resonated most.
Power Up Your Training with Power Polls
Power Polls are perfect for gauging your team’s understanding as you go along. After each major section of your sales training, throw in a quick Power Poll with questions like, 'Which sales tactic are you most excited to try?' or 'How confident are you in explaining our product’s value proposition?' This not only keeps them on their toes but gives you instant feedback on their knowledge retention. Plus, it breaks up the session and gives everyone a chance to interact instead of just listening in.
Spin Up the Excitement with Winner Wheel
Using the Winner Wheel is a fun way to get your team actively participating in your session. You could create some friendly competition by rewarding the most insightful comments or suggestions during the session. Every time someone shares a valuable piece of advice or a genius insight, they get entered into the draw. By the end of the session, spinning the wheel gives your team a chance to win a small prize or even just the bragging rights for the day! Think about it: positivity, participation, and healthy competition all rolled into one.
Visualize Insights with Wonder Words
Wonder Words is a game-changer for highlighting key points and common thoughts in a visually appealing way. Use it to collect quick, one-word feedback about the session. Ask, 'What’s one word to describe today’s training?' or 'Summarize the new sales process in one word.' This will create a word cloud in real-time, where the most common words are displayed prominently. It’s a neat way to wrap up the session, giving everyone a sense of the key takeaways and shared feelings.
Decide with Ease Using Choice Circle

This not only keeps them on their toes but gives you instant feedback on their knowledge retention. Plus, it breaks up the session and gives everyone a chance to interact instead of just listening in.
