Hey there, Zoom hosts! We all know how important it is to keep your audience engaged during a sales training session, especially when talking about technology companies. When salespeople miss important information, it can get pretty costly for your company. So, engaging your audience and making sure they retain that info is key. Let's dive into some simple and effective ways you can use StreamAlive's cool features to make your live sessions more exciting and impactful.
Put Your Audience on the Map with Magic Maps
Kicking off a live session with 'Where are you tuning in from?' is a classic icebreaker. But why stop there when you can turn it into a fun, interactive map experience using Magic Maps? Imagine asking your sales trainees to drop a pin on their dream tech hub location or share where they’ve closed their biggest sale. This not only gets them chatting in the Zoom chat box but also helps them connect with each other – geography style! Plus, who doesn't love seeing their location pop up in real-time on a cool world map? It’s a great way to start conversations and make everyone feel a little more connected, even from miles apart.
Spark Conversations with Open-Ended Opinion Polls
Sometimes, you want more than a yes or no. You want your attendees to voice their thoughts on a particular sales strategy or their challenges in the tech industry. With Open-Ended Opinion Polls, you can ask, 'What's one key challenge you've faced in closing tech deals?' or 'Share a memorable customer interaction.' Responses come in through the chat, letting everyone see the variety of experiences and insights. It's a way to deepen discussions and feel the virtual room’s pulse, keeping the content and conversation flowing naturally.
Engage with Instant Feedback Using Power Polls
Live polls are fantastic when you need quick feedback on what your audience thinks. StreamAlive’s Power Polls let you ask about topics like 'How important are CRM tools in your sales process?' or 'What's the most effective communication channel for reaching tech clients?' Participants just type their answers in chat and see results instantly. It's a great way to gauge opinions in real-time and steer your training based on what your attendees appreciate or need more help with. Plus, quick polls keep them awake and interacting!
Get Everyone Talking with the Winner Wheel
Sometimes, your audience needs a little nudge to get involved. That’s where the Winner Wheel comes in handy. During your sales training, you might ask attendees to share their best one-liner for closing a deal. Then, pop those who participate into the Winner Wheel for a random prize draw. You could even use it to reward those who ask questions or participate in discussions, giving away a cool tech gadget or exclusive sales tip! It’s all about promoting interaction and making sure everyone's got a reason to speak up.
Capture Key Insights with Wonder Words
Wonder Words is perfect for summarizing insights quickly during your session. If you’ve just shared a new sales technique or discussed client management, ask your audience to jot down their top takeaway word or phrase. As they type in the Zoom chat, a Word Cloud forms, highlighting the most common reactions or thoughts. It provides a visual impression of key themes and takes a snapshot of the session's vibe. And if you’re looking to lighten the mood, ask them to post a word describing how they feel after learning something new. It's a colorful, engaging way to wrap up discussions and reinforce learning.
Decisions Made Easy with Choice Circle
