Alright, let’s get real for a second. Running a virtual negotiation skills training on Zoom isn’t just about dishing out information. Nope, it’s about keeping your audience awake, involved, and learning new skills they’ll actually remember. We know that increased engagement means your attendees are paying attention, participating actively, and are more likely to take what they’ve learned and apply it in real-life negotiations. Now isn’t that the ultimate win?

Put Your Audience on the Map with Magic Maps

Magic Maps is perfect for stepping up your virtual sessions right from the get-go. Kick off your negotiation training by asking attendees, "Where are you joining us from?" or "Which city would you love to negotiate in one day?" as they drop their locations in the chat, each one appears on the map in real time. Imagine seeing a world map sprinkled with dots representing everyone tuned into your session. It gets people talking right away and also builds a sense of community—it’s like saying, “Hey, you’re part of something bigger here!”.

Have Your Say with Opinion Polls

Everyone has an opinion, and Opinion Polls give your audience the chance to voice theirs. Ask open-ended questions like, "What’s your go-to opening line in negotiations?" or "Share a negotiation tactic that had unexpected results". Watch as the chat buzzes with creativity and insight. Not only does this draw out quieter attendees, but it also crowdsources diverse negotiation strategies and ideas. Everyone gets to have their say, making the session rich with different viewpoints.

Get Real-Time Feedback with Power Polls

Keeping your audience engaged during a Zoom session means knowing their pulse in real-time. Power Polls lets you do just that. Ask questions like, "What negotiation strategy do you find most difficult?" or "How confident are you in negotiating a salary raise?" As answers roll in, attendees see the poll results live. This instant feedback helps shape the direction of your session, ensuring it's tailored to your audience's needs, and also reassures participants that their opinions matter.

Spin to Win Some Engagement with Winner Wheel

Let’s face it, we all love a bit of fun. Throw in a little game of chance with the Winner Wheel during your session. You could draw a winner from comments made during a role-play activity or choose someone who shared a negotiation tip. This is a fantastic way to inject energy into the room, especially after covering heavy negotiation tactics. Plus, everyone loves freebies, so why not offer a PDF summary of the training session or a discount code for your future courses? Your audience will be hitting the chat non-stop!

Create a living, breathing word cloud with Wonder Words to get into the minds of your attendees.

As words appear in the chat, they populate the word cloud in real-time, with popular responses growing bigger. It’s an easy way to visualize the collective intelligence of your audience and an undeniable boost to collaboration and engagement. Plus, it looks pretty cool on screen, too!
