Hey there! You know how important it is to keep your audience engaged during those Google Meet sessions, especially when it comes to sales training for tech companies. If your sales team misses out on key info, it could really cost your company big time. That’s why it's super important to make sure everyone stays focused and retains what they learn. By spicing things up with interactive features like StreamAlive, you can make your sessions not just memorable, but truly effective.
Map Your Audience’s Location
Starting your sales training session with something that grabs attention is key. With Magic Maps from StreamAlive, you can literally put your audience on the map. Start by asking everyone in the chat, ‘Where in the world are you tuning in from today?’ and watch as their locations pop up on a real-time map. This is a neat way to break the ice and make everyone feel connected, like they're part of something bigger. Plus, you can even mix things up by asking, ‘Share a city you've traveled to that influenced your sales techniques the most.’ These fun starts not only engage but also build a community feel right from the get-go.
Capture Thoughts with Opinion Polls
Sometimes you need more nuanced feedback, and that's where Opinion Polls come into play. Ask open-ended questions like, ‘What’s one obstacle you face when trying to close a sale?’ or ‘What do you think is the future trend in tech sales?’ With this feature, attendees can type out complete thoughts, giving you in-depth insights directly from the field. It’s a fantastic way to pick your team’s brains and get a real sense of what’s going on in their worlds.
Pop the Questions with Power Polls
Real-time feedback is golden during training. With Power Polls, you can get instant insights into your audience’s thoughts. During your session, you might ask, ‘How confident do you feel selling Product X after today's training?’ with options ranging from ‘Very Confident’ to ‘Need More Practice.’ Or, ‘Which technique discussed today do you feel would be most effective in your market?’ This allows you to adapt on-the-fly and address any lack of understanding immediately, making your training sessions more effective.
Spin to Win Engagement
Keeping a chat lively can sometimes be tricky. Enter the Winner Wheel! This tool is your go-to for ensuring audience participation doesn’t dip as your session progresses. For instance, you can announce a quick prize draw for those who share their best sales tip in the chat. Select a winner using the wheel to keep everyone eager and sharing. Or, use it to pick a ‘Question of the Day’ where attendees can submit questions throughout the session, and one gets picked for a deeper dive discussion. This keeps everybody actively engaged and vying for their moment in the spotlight.
Create a Buzz with Word Clouds
Want to visually capture the main ideas or themes from your audience? Wonder Words is your best friend! During a sales session, you could ask, ‘What’s the one word you associate with success in sales?’ As answers flood in, watch as the most common words grow bigger on the screen. It's a brilliant way of showcasing trends or common beliefs among your team. Alternatively, throw out a question like, ‘What’s the biggest challenge in tech sales right now?’ and see the buzzwords pop up and grow. It’s fun, it’s fast, and it gets people thinking in real-time.
