Hey there, Zoom hosts! Let’s chat about why cranking up engagement during a live sales training on Zoom is a game-changer. You know, when your team misses out on crucial sales info, it can hit the company’s pocket hard. That's why keeping your sales squad engaged and making sure they remember what they learn is super important. When they stay hooked, they not only pick up new tricks but also stay motivated to crush those targets.

Kick Off with Magic Maps

Starting your Zoom sales training by asking attendees where they’re from has never been more engaging! With StreamAlive’s Magic Maps, when your sales team enters their location in the chat, it pops up on a live map. Use this to break the ice with questions like, 'Where are you closing deals today?' or 'Which city on your wishlist would you love to organize a sales meet?' This not only warms up the crowd but also helps everyone feel like they’re part of a close-knit global team.

Capture Thoughts with Open-Ended Opinion Polls

To dig deeper into your team’s minds, try Open-Ended Opinion Polls. Ask them, 'What’s the biggest challenge you face in closing sales?' or 'Share one tip that always works for you.' They can type their thoughts in the chat, and the most popular or repeated ones swell up for all to see. This not only validates everyone’s feelings but also creates a space for shared learning.

Drive Engagement with Power Polls

Nothing gets people involved like a good poll. Power Polls lets you ask your team about best practices they prefer, like 'How often do you follow-up with leads?' or 'What’s your favorite closing strategy?' As results come in live, everyone gets to see which options are crowd favorites, sparking discussion. This real-time feedback loop can help keep your training session lively and interactive.

Use Winner Wheel to Reward Participation

To get those sales reps typing and interacting, the Winner Wheel is your best friend. Imagine you’re discussing key sales strategies, and you ask reps to share their thoughts. You can use the Winner Wheel to randomly select one of the contributors for a fun prize, like a coffee gift card or a day of virtual applause. This boosts interaction and keeps the chat lively! Use it when you ask, 'Share your best closing line!'—the anticipation to win keeps everyone on their toes.

Visualize Ideas with Wonder Words

Turn the chat into a visual masterpiece with Wonder Words. Prompt your sales trainees with questions like, 'What word describes a successful sale for you?' or 'Name a tool you can’t sell without.' As words appear and grow bigger, not only do they paint a collective picture of the team's mindset, but they also highlight common goals and tools. It’s a simple, visual way to capture and focus group thoughts and energy.

Make Decisions Fun with Choice Circle

Nothing gets people involved like a good poll. Power Polls lets you ask your team about best practices they prefer, like 'How often do you follow-up with leads?' or 'What’s your favorite closing strategy?' As results come in live, everyone gets to see which options are crowd favorites, sparking discussion. This real-time feedback loop can help keep your training session lively and interactive.
