How Hive Perform’s deal analysis engine connects every engagement to real outcomes

The promise of AI in sales is everywhere: more insight, faster reporting, and less time lost to admin. But for most revenue teams, “analysis” still means a mountain of generic dashboards, fragmented call transcripts, and more time spent piecing together what really happened. When the gap between boardroom strategy and frontline execution keeps growing, sales leaders need more than keyword clouds and sentiment scores, they need a system that brings every touchpoint together and shows what moves deals forward.

That’s where Hive Perform’s Deal Analysis Engine sets a new standard.

Why generic “Conversation Intelligence” isn’t enough

Most so-called “AI sales tools” start and stop with basic transcription and keyword spotting. They tell you what was said, but not whether your messaging landed, objections were truly handled, or if the buyer’s real problem was ever understood. The result? More data, but not more clarity.

The reality is stark:

• 78% of sales reps missed quota last year.

• 50% of SaaS companies missed their Q1 targets in 2025.

• And according to Forrester, improving the buyer experience is now the top priority for business and technology leaders

These numbers don’t reflect a lack of effort. They point to a lack of true visibility - an execution gap that legacy tools can’t close. Leaders don’t need more dashboards; they need an engine that makes sense of every interaction and feeds real insight back into the system.

How Hive Perform’s deal analysis engine works

Hive Perform doesn’t just aggregate data. It’s built to analyze every sales engagement. - calls, emails, and meetings against your unique strategy, turning scattered interactions into actionable, real-time deal intelligence.

Step 1: Sales framework input (setting the standard)

Every analysis begins by loading your bespoke sales framework:

• Actions for every deal stage

• Your messaging guidelines

• Product info and unique selling propositions (USPs)

• Common objections, mapped to real-world scenarios

This framework is the blueprint for analysis, ensuring every engagement is measured against your strategy, not a generic model.

Step 2: Data collection & setup (building the full picture)

The engine automatically retrieves:

• Current deal data and pipeline status

• Results from all previous analyses

• Every new sales engagement (call, email, meeting, note)

AI matches each engagement to the correct deal, filters out what’s already been processed, and identifies new touchpoints to route for analysis.

Step 3: Engagement processing (specialized, contextual analysis)

No two engagement types are treated the same:

• Emails: Passed through an email prompt system that extracts:

  • Committed actions and next steps

  • Buyer signals and sentiment shifts

• Call Transcripts: Undergo a rigorous four-pass analysis:

  1. Objection Analysis: What resistance surfaced, and how was it handled?

  2. Action Extraction: Which next steps were agreed and which were missed?

  3. Messaging Delivery: Did the rep use your USPs and core narrative?

  4. Solution Fit: Was the buyer’s problem connected to your product’s value, or just features?

• Other Engagements: Meeting notes and other data sources follow tailored prompts to surface commitments, questions, and risks.

Each engagement is measured for execution quality, alignment to strategy, and contribution to deal momentum.

Step 4: Output generation (from analysis to action)

Once processing is complete, the engine automatically generates:

• Comprehensive Deal Summaries: Every touchpoint synthesized into one, easy-to-understand summary.

• Risks & Opportunities: Surfaced in real time, not hidden in dashboards.

• Extracted Action Items: So nothing falls through the cracks.

• Objection Trends: Enabling targeted coaching and enablement.

• Messaging Delivery and Fit: Giving objective feedback on what resonates and where reps are missing the mark.

All of this feeds directly into your pipeline and dashboards, delivering real, personalized insight without manual effort or subjective guesswork.

What sets Hive Perform apart

• Your Process, Not a Template: The engine is trained on your strategy, your messaging, and your market.

• Automatic, Real-Time Updates: No more reconciling spreadsheets or chasing down reps for status. Leaders and reps always see the latest, most accurate picture.

• Deeper, Multi-Layered Insight: Not just what was said, but how it was delivered, how it was received, and what needs to happen next.

“From analyzing one call, it highlighted an area I’ve known I needed to work on for quite a while.”
Taimur Qavi, Senior Sales Manager
