How 360Learning used Wooclap to train 200 sales representatives in a global virtual Kick-Off

When 360Learning decided to organize its first global virtual Regional Kick-Off (RKO), the challenge was straightforward: how do you bring together 200 sales representatives across time zones and keep them engaged, without defaulting to another long, slide-heavy video call?

For Kelly Parks, who co-organized the event, the answer was clear: treat the RKO not as a corporate update, but as a learning experience. The goal was to help the sales force understand the partnership strategy and its value in their daily work, while keeping the format interactive and engaging.

Rethinking the format: from slides to interaction

Previously, RKOs often meant a series of slide-based presentations: 30 to 40 minutes of one-way talking, followed by another, then another. In a virtual setting, this approach risked losing participants quickly.

As Kelly Parks explained:

To prepare for the new format, the 360Learning platform was used to host all the detailed content in advance: slides, explanations, and videos. This ensured participants arrived prepared, allowing the live meeting to focus on interaction and practice rather than one-way delivery.

Bringing the session to life with Wooclap

During the RKO, Philippe Swamy, Partnerships Manager, who led the session, built a sequence combining short recaps with Wooclap activities. Sales representatives competed in question-based challenges, revisiting key concepts from the pre-work.

• A variety of question types: matching question, find on image, …. made the activities intuitive and varied.

• Facilitators used Wooclap’s control over question timing to manage the rhythm for a global audience.
• A simple QR code login made access smooth for all 200 participants.

As Philippe, who led the session, reflected:

The competition element, supported by a small prize, helped sustain energy throughout the session. Kelly emphasized that this format was not just engaging but also practical:

“Wooclap gave us more autonomy to control when questions appeared and closed. With other tools, it was harder to manage timing in such a large group.”

Beyond information-sharing: creating engagement

For participants, this RKO was more than a corporate update. It was closer to a training workshop. Rather than listening passively, sales reps actively tested their knowledge and reinforced learning in real time.

This interactivity made the live presence valuable: while the pre-work secured knowledge transfer, the live session offered energy, competition, and peer-to-peer engagement that a recording alone could not replicate.

The outcome

By combining pre-work on 360Learning with live interactivity on Wooclap, the RKO successfully:

• Aligned 200 sales reps worldwide on partnership strategy,
• Delivered content in a way that was light, engaging, and collaborative,
• And showed how digital tools can transform a corporate kick-off into a training experience.
