Call Control & Agenda Setting

Written by Hive Perform | Feb 10, 2026 5:07:44 PM

Calls run long and end without next steps. Coach reps to set agendas, stay on track, and close with commitments.

Give your team the skills to run crisp, focused calls that respect everyone's time and drive clear outcomes. This initiative coaches reps to set agendas at the start, maintain control of the conversation flow, manage tangents without being rude, and close with confirmed next steps. Hive grades each call on agenda setting, time management, control of conversation direction, and quality of the close. Reps receive feedback on moments where they lost control and specific techniques for getting meetings back on track. Perfect for teams where calls run long, lack structure, or end without clear commitments.
