Mentimeter has changed the way we train sales reps forever!

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I operate monthly sales training meeting from our home office with our 6 satellite offices and use Mentimeter as a sales training tool.

The response to the new information, as well as product knowledge retention has vastly improved.

Pros

  • The autosave feature
  • Crisp, fun on screen graphics
  • Easy to learn in under an hour

Cons

  • Instructions are somewhat vague in operating the presenter mode
  • More contest templates to choose from

Return on Investment

  • Drastically improved how our team retains new product knowledge
  • Ability to customize questions from technical to general knowledge to keep participants engaged
  • Helps management spot the weak areas in previous training, based on incorrect answers during the quiz

Menti Keeps Us Engaged

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We have used it as an interactive platform during workshops in which we were building a research landscape. This was a virtual event and allowed everyone to keep engaged by participating and sharing their answers anonymously.

Pros

  • Word clouds.
  • Allows people to be anonymous.
  • Captures all the feedback and allows you to download it.

Cons

  • The design aspect is lacking a bit in my opinion.

Most Important Features

  • Anonymity
  • Downloadable feedback
  • All of the different ways to collect data.

Return on Investment

  • People have to be more alert during presentations because it asks people to participate.
  • We actually get good feedback rather then if we did a presentation without Mentimeter.
