Hey there, live session hosts! We all know the struggle to keep people glued to their screens during a live session, especially when it's a sales training on MS Teams. If your team misses key info during these trainings, it can cost more than just time. That's why making sure everyone’s engaged is super important. Let's dive into how you can boost engagement using some awesome features from StreamAlive.

Using Magic Maps for Global Engagement

Magic Maps is a fantastic tool to kick off your sales training session on MS Teams. Picture this—you start by asking everyone, 'Where in the world are you joining us from today?' With Magic Maps, their responses will pop up in real-time on a map. It's such a fun way to see the global reach of your team! You could also ask attendees their dream travel destinations or if there's a particular city they find inspiring for sales. This feature doesn’t just break the ice but also enhances attention by making everyone feel they're part of a global community.

Gather Valuable Feedback with Opinion Polls

Opinion Polls are perfect for questions that don’t have fixed answers. Maybe you want to get a feel for your team’s mood after presenting a new sales strategy—ask them, 'How do you feel this new approach will impact your sales performance?' This tool captures a range of responses and helps you gauge your team’s confidence and readiness. Plus, it fosters a more inclusive environment where everyone’s opinion can be shared and heard.

Get Quick Insights with Power Polls

Power Polls are your go-to for real-time feedback. You might want to ask your team, 'What’s been the most effective sales tactic for you this quarter?' or 'Which communication tool are you finding most effective?' This helps gather useful insights instantly and can guide the rest of your training session. It’s a simple yet powerful way to make sure everyone is on the same page and make real-time adjustments if needed.

Spice Things Up with the Winner Wheel

We all have those moments when energy dips during a live session. That’s where the Winner Wheel comes in! You can get your team commenting more by having a random prize draw for those who engage in the chat. Try something like 'Comment on your biggest sales challenge and get a chance to win a coffee voucher!' This not only increases chat interaction but also keeps everyone on their toes, since they never know when their comment might win them something cool.

Reflect Ideas Visually with Wonder Words

Wonder Words is your answer to capturing thoughts in a visually engaging way. Ask your audience a simple question like, 'What’s one word that describes our company culture?' or 'Name one quality that makes a great salesperson.' As responses roll in, the most popular words grow larger, creating a word cloud that reflects group sentiment visually. It’s a great way to wrap up a session or highlight recurring themes that emerge from the discussion. Want to ensure everyone’s input is heard and seen? This is how you do it!

Ease Decision Stress with Choice Circle

Power Polls are your go-to for real-time feedback. You might want to ask your team, 'What’s been the most effective sales tactic for you this quarter?' or 'Which communication tool are you finding most effective?' This helps gather useful insights instantly and can guide the rest of your training session. It’s a simple yet powerful way to make sure everyone is on the same page and make real-time adjustments if needed.
