How to: Use Kota as a seller
Last updated: December 9, 2025
Turn every call, account, and objection into a fast coaching loop.
SDRs don’t struggle with activity - they struggle with clarity.
Kota turns your questions into answers in seconds if you prompt it well.
Below are three core SDR workflows + a fourth optional one, each following the same pattern:
The problem you’re facing
What to ask Kota
The kind of solution you’ll get
Use cases
1. After a Rough Call: “What did I miss?”
Problem
You just finished a discovery call that didn’t land. You’re wondering:
Did I miss key questions?
Did I pitch too early?
Where did the call go off track?
You don’t have time to rewatch the entire call.
Open Kota
Hit Control/Command + K or click on Kota on the sidebar

Prompt:
“Analyze my last discovery call with [prospect] and tell me what I missed.”
Upgraded (role + goal + format):
“Kota, act as my discovery coach.
Analyze my last call with [prospect].
List the 5 most important discovery questions I should have asked but didn’t.
For each question, explain why it matters and give an example phrase I can use next time.
Keep it concise and in bullet points.”
What Kota Gives You
3–5 missed questions tied to the buyer’s pains
Specific moments where you skipped depth or talked too much
Better phrasing you can reuse immediately
Then follow up with:
“Turn this into a 3-point coaching plan for my next call.”
2. Before a Follow-Up Call: “What does this buyer care about?”
Problem
You have a follow-up Call in 10 minutes.
You vaguely remember their tools, concerns, and a promise you made, but not the details.
Prompt Kota
Baseline:
“Summarize my last call with [prospect].”
Upgraded:
“Kota, help me prep for my follow-up with [prospect].
Summarize what they care about in 3 bullets
List their main concerns
Give me 3 talking points to open the call confidently
End with one suggested opening line
Highlight 2–3 exact quotes I can reference to show I listened”
What Kota Gives You
A compact briefing:
The buyer’s real priorities
Their objections or risks
The best opening and 3 talking points
Quotes you can reuse to build trust
This turns “Remind me what we talked about?” into a confident follow-up.
3. Practicing Objections: “Make me a bot that talks like this buyer.”
Problem
You have a big call tomorrow - new persona, new industry, real pressure.
Practicing with another rep isn’t realistic.
Prompt Kota
“Kota, I want to practice as an SDR.
Use these calls with [persona/segment] to create a practice bot that mirrors this buyer.
Base the bot on:
Their tone
Their objections
Their priorities
Make the bot especially strong at pushing back on {{pricing / timing / status quo / competitor}}.
After each of my answers:
Score me 1–10
Tell me what I did well
Give one improvement tip
Name the bot: ‘[persona] Objection Practice – SDR’.”
What Kota Gives You
A realistic practice bot based on your call data
Real objection patterns
Coaching after every response
Muscle memory before the real call
4. Deciding What to Do Next: “What’s my next best action?”
Problem
You’ve had multiple interactions with an account; a mix of calls, no-shows, and cold replies.
You’re unsure how much more time to spend.
Prompt Kota
“Kota, act as my SDR coach for [account/calls].
Based on all interactions:
Summarize where the account stands in 3 bullets
Tell me whether to double down or deprioritize
If I should keep going, recommend one next step
Draft the message (email/LI/call opener) using their own language”
What Kota Gives You
A clear “push or pause” recommendation
A tactical next step
A ready-to-send message based on your real call history
The Simple SDR Prompt Framework
When in doubt, structure your prompt like this:
Role: “Kota, act as my SDR coach.”
Context: “Based on my last call with [prospect]…”
Goal: “Help me understand X / improve Y / prepare for Z.”
Output: “Give me 5 bullets / 3 steps / a tight email.”
This transforms generic answers into specific, actionable coaching.
Turn Kota Into a Daily Habit
Use it at four moments:
After each call: “What did I miss?”
Before each follow-up: “Remind me what they care about.”
Before big calls: “Build a practice bot for this buyer.”
When stuck on an account: “What’s my next best action?”
You’re already taking the calls. Kota makes sure you learn from them and move faster.
