Hey Telo growth playbook

Diagnosis

Hey Telo (Admyral Technologies GmbH, Munich, YC W25) has a sharp position: the phone AI that writes into pds and KWP. pds built it into its own software, KWP and wholesalers host its webinars, and 13 owner and office-lead quotes on the homepage back it up.

The gaps are in the pages that partner traffic lands on. The four integration pages describe only the first step of a call and carry no proof. The demo lines ask visitors to pick a slot that isn't there.

FAQ answers and audio samples don't appear in the page as served, and pricing shows no number even though a rival's comparison already prints one. This playbook fixes those pages first, then builds a webinar and partner machine, proof and trade pages, usage-based upsell, and two larger bets: more integrations and a night-and-weekend emergency plan.

Growth Score

7/10

Biggest Opportunity

Hey Telo is the phone AI with the deepest links into pds and KWP. Every page a pds or KWP user lands on should prove that, with the record it creates, a recording of the call and a peer who uses it.

Biggest Risk

Broader rivals are bigger and more transparent. HalloPetra claims 2,500+ businesses, 23 trade-software links and public prices, and generalists like fonio sell on price per minute. If Hey Telo's edge stays hidden behind quote-only pricing and thin pages, it gets compared on minutes alone.

01

Start here

The three moves to make first. Each one is written up in full below.

  1. 1

    Show pds and KWP users their own software on the integration pages: the call, the finished record and a peer who uses it

    Ask two pds and two KWP customers already quoted on the homepage whether their quote may also appear on the pds and KWP pages.

  2. 2

    Put a starting price on /preise, because a rival's comparison already prints one

    Check the 120-minute / 0.30 € figure in the comparison and decide whether it is still the entry tier.

  3. 3

    Make the FAQ answers readable by search engines and AI assistants, starting with “Was kostet Hey Telo?” and DSGVO

    View the source of the homepage and confirm whether the answer text is present.

Quick wins with a clear first action.

  • 01

    Hey Telo's homepage headline is “Die Telefon & Email KI für pds und KWP”, and pds itself built Hey Telo into its software. The pds, KWP, mfr and Labelwin pages are where a user of that software lands from a partner newsletter, a webinar or a search. Yet each page shows a four-step call flow where only step 1 (“Anruf eingehend”) has any text, no customer quote and no number. Its demo line says “Wählen Sie einen Termin unten aus für eine kostenlose Demo”, but no scheduler appears below it in the page as served. Meanwhile the homepage carries 13 customer quotes, several about exactly these integrations: callbacks “landen automatisch in PDS”, the close work with KWP, the pds link as a reason to buy.

    Smallest test

    Finish the pds page (steps, one recording, two quotes, working booking) and compare its trial requests with the KWP page for a month.

    Why it works

    Rebuild each integration page around what a pds or KWP user doubts most: does the call really end up as a clean record in my system? For each software, write steps 2-4 with one real, anonymised example: the greeting, the questions the AI asks, and a screenshot of the record it creates (the service order in the pds Auftragspool, the KWP activity, the mfr SmartCall request, the Labelwin task). Embed a 30-second recording of that call. Move the matching homepage quotes and numbers (almost 1,000 calls a month, 2-3 hours saved a day) onto the page. Answer the software-specific FAQ (“Was kann Hey Telo in pds?”) in visible text. Replace the “Termin unten” line with a working booking option, or a button to /register with the software pre-selected. Start with pds and KWP, the two named in the headline, then mfr and Labelwin.

    Visitors from a partner already trust their software. What stops them is doubt about the hand-off, so showing the finished record plus a peer on the same software answers that before the first call. A booking step that works removes the last click where interest leaks away.

    Risks and how to handle them

    • Customer data visible in screenshots or recordings

      Use a demo account or blur every name, address and number; get written consent for quotes.

    • Partners want to approve wording

      Send the pds and KWP drafts to the partner contacts before publishing.

    • Press coverageHandwerksblatt (January 20, 2026): pds built Hey Telo into its software; it answers calls around the clock, recognises callers by phone or customer number, creates service orders, checks whether calls outside business hours need the emergency service, and creates a CRM task when a caller can't be matched; pds says “Hey Telo ergänzt bestehende Prozesse sinnvoll, ohne sie zu ersetzen.”Source
    • Your websiteSite changes since November 2025: the headline moved from “Mehr Erreichbarkeit. Weniger Stress im Team.” to “Die Telefon & Email KI für pds und KWP.”; Google Analytics and the Cal.com booking tool were removed, and no web analytics tool besides a Facebook script is detected on the homepage now.Source

    Hey Telo's pricing page shows no number. It compares an office hire at 3,500 € a month and says Hey Telo costs less than one week of that, and its own FAQ asks “Warum gibt es keine festen Preise?”. A trade-software vendor's public comparison already lists Hey Telo's entry tier as 120 minutes with 0.30 € per extra minute, while HalloPetra shows every tier from 149 € on its homepage. Buyers comparing options see a rival's figure for Hey Telo, or none, instead of Hey Telo's own framing.

    Smallest test

    Add one line, “ab … € im Monat, inkl. … Minuten”, to /preise for a month.

    Why it works

    Publish an “ab … € im Monat” starting price with what it includes (minutes, staff receiving calls, integration), plus three worked examples for typical businesses (a 5-person, a 15-person and a 40-person SHK business). Keep the personal quote for larger setups and add-ons. Show the 2-week trial and monthly cancellation next to the price, and answer the FAQ questions about plan limits and overage in visible text.

    Owner-led trades shortlist on price before they book a call. A visible floor filters out poor fits, shortens sales calls and lets Hey Telo set the comparison (integration depth, not cost per minute).

    Risks and how to handle them

    • Anchoring on the cheapest plan

      Show the three examples, not just the floor.

    • Price competition with per-minute generalists

      Put the pds/KWP integration and setup help next to the price.

    Evidence

    • Your websitePricing page: no prices; quotes are made in a call and depend on the number of employees receiving calls, monthly call volume and the add-ons E-Mail-KI and KI-Disponent; compares an office hire at “3.500 €” a month (42.000 € a year) and says Hey Telo costs less than one week of that; 2-week free trial, monthly cancellation, 60-minute setup; eight FAQ questions, including “Warum gibt es keine festen Preise?”, with no answer text in the served page.Source
    • Competitor researchA trade-software vendor's comparison of six phone assistants lists HeyTelo with “über 300 Betriebe”, native pds, KWP and mfr links, and an entry tier of 120 call minutes with 0.30 € per extra minute; HalloPetra with 2,500+ businesses and 22 trade-software connections (“die breiteste Softwareunterstützung”); fonio.ai at 99 € for 1,000 minutes; Agentino from 49 € a month; Placetel AI and VITAS without native trade-software links.Source
    • Competitor researchHalloPetra homepage: “Die KI-Bürokraft fürs Handwerk”; 14 trades including SHK, Elektro and Kälte-Klima; 2,500+ businesses (calls handled in the last 90 days, as of October 2026); 39 integrations including 23 trade-software products; public prices from 149 € (150 minutes) to 999 € (2,400 minutes), setup from 249 €; the same 3,500 € office-worker comparison; 4.9/5 from 247 reviews; a free 10-minute test.Source
  • 03

    The homepage, pricing and integration pages list the questions buyers actually ask (“Merken Kunden, dass sie mit einer KI sprechen?”, “Versteht die KI Dialekt?”, “Ist Hey Telo DSGVO-konform?”, “Was kostet Hey Telo?”), but the page as served contains only the questions, with no answer text. The answers likely appear after a click, but crawlers and AI assistants read only what is served, so Hey Telo's own answers to its best-converting questions can't show up in search or AI answers.

    Why it works

    Render every FAQ answer in the page HTML (open by default, or a collapsible element that keeps its text in the markup), add FAQPage structured data, and write the answers in owners' words. Prioritise the questions where a wrong outside answer costs deals: DSGVO and caller notice, dialects and names, what happens when the AI doesn't understand, phone-system compatibility and cost.

    These are the questions owners type into Google and ask AI assistants before they call a vendor. Served text can rank and be quoted; a click-to-load answer can't.

    Risks and how to handle them

    • Long pages

      Keep answers to two or three sentences and link to detail.

    Evidence

    Why it works

    Replace each past registration page with the recording (or a 10-minute cut), the slides, and a “2 Wochen kostenlos testen” button with the partner pre-filled. Collect all webinars on one /webinare page, grouped by software and topic (Kundendienst, Notdienst, KI-Disponent, E-Mail-KI), and add the next live dates.

    Partners keep linking to these pages long after the date. On-demand recordings turn each webinar into a lasting landing page for that partner's customers.

Move the broken-slug post to a clean URL with a 301 redirect. Show one consistent published/updated date, and name a founder as author with a short bio.

    Readers of a cost-of-missed-calls article are close to buying. A clear next step turns existing traffic into trials, and consistent dates and named authors help search engines and AI assistants trust the content.

    Risks and how to handle them

The core plays for the next three months.

  • 07

    Hey Telo already has the two halves of an ROI argument on separate pages: the blog's model of what one missed emergency call costs (300-500 € immediately, about 2,000 € including follow-on work and reputation) and the pricing page's comparison with a 3,500 € office hire. No page lets an owner plug in their own numbers.

    A static table for three business sizes first.

    Why it works

    Build a simple calculator: calls per day, share missed (on site, lunch, after hours), share that are emergencies, average job value. It shows the monthly revenue at risk next to the office-hire cost and Hey Telo's starting price, then offers “2 Wochen kostenlos testen” with the answers passed to sales. During the trial, compare the estimate with the calls Hey Telo actually caught.

    Owners trust their own numbers more than a vendor's. The result gives sales a concrete opening and the trial a goal to prove.

    Risks and how to handle them

    • Inflated estimates hurt trust

      Use the blog's conservative figures and show the formula.

  • 08

    Since late 2025 the headline has narrowed from “Mehr Erreichbarkeit. Weniger Stress im Team.” to “Die Telefon & Email KI für pds und KWP.” That sharpens the pitch for two partner bases but tells mfr and Labelwin users (also official integrations) and every business on other software that the product isn't for them. Hey Telo also works with Outlook, Exchange and Google calendars, which is the path for them.

    Add the picker and count clicks per button for two weeks.

    Why it works

    Keep the headline, and add one line under it: “Welche Software nutzen Sie?” with buttons for pds, KWP, mfr, Labelwin and “Andere / keine Branchensoftware”. Each goes to its integration page. The last one goes to a new page showing how calls arrive by email, calendar entry and SMS without a trade-software link, and asks which software they use (that answer feeds idea 18). Name the partners in the “Offizieller Partner von” badge with logos and alt text.

    Visitors self-select in one click and land on proof for their own setup; businesses on other software become leads instead of bounces.

    Risks and how to handle them

The new sales hire is asked to own the full funnel “including experiments and channels”.

    Apply the 24-hour follow-up to the next KWP webinar and compare trials with the Hahn sessions.

    Why it works

    Standardise the format: a 45-minute agenda with a live call to the AI during the session, a partner-branded trial link, and a follow-up sequence (same day: recording and trial link; next day: personal call offering setup; day 7: case study from the same software). Plan a quarterly calendar with each partner, and report attendees, trials and paying customers back to the partner.

    Partners promote what performs. Showing a partner how many of its customers went live builds the case for more slots and newsletter space.

    Why it works

    Write five case studies of one page each, one per main story: the four-day week, the 1,000-calls business, call peaks, the provider switch, and a pds and a KWP user. Each has the business size, the software, the setup, numbers before and after, and a quote. Publish them at /kunden, link them from the integration pages, and use one customer count everywhere.

    Owners buy from peers in the same trade and software. Numbers make a quote checkable, and one consistent count avoids doubt.

    Why it works

    Publish a switching page: what changes (records land in pds/KWP/mfr/Labelwin instead of email), how the number forwarding moves, how call flows are copied in the 60-minute setup, and a two-week overlap trial so nothing is missed. Add the switching customer's story. Target searches like “HalloPetra Alternative” and “fonio Handwerk Alternative” with factual comparison sections.

    Switchers need no education about phone AI, only proof that switching is safe and worth it. A clear switching plan removes the risk they fear most.

    Pricing lists E-Mail-KI and the route-optimised KI-Disponent as add-ons that “can be added at any time”. The KI-Disponent page promises appointments planned around routes, historical traffic and technicians' skills, but shows no numbers or examples. Phone customers generate exactly the signal that shows who needs them: maintenance calls, callers saying “ich hatte eine Mail geschickt”, repeat rescheduling.

    Offer the KI-Disponent trial to the ten customers with the most maintenance calls.

    Why it works

    Detect add-on triggers in call data (maintenance share, email references, reschedules) and offer a 30-day free add-on trial in the monthly report and in a call from the account owner. Add one measured example to the KI-Routenoptimierung page (kilometres or jobs per day before and after) from the first users.

    Upsell triggered by the customer's own data feels like service, and add-ons raise revenue per business without new acquisition cost.

    Why it works

    Launch a simple referral offer: one free month for the referrer and the new business once it goes live. Ask at the moment of proven value, when the monthly report shows a strong month or right after a positive support contact. Give referrers a short text and a recording they can forward on WhatsApp.

    Word of mouth already drives trades. A clear offer and a ready-to-forward message turn goodwill into introductions.

    Hey Telo's depth in pds is real: pds built it into its software and announced it in the trade press.

    Ask the top requested vendor for API access and a pilot customer.

    Why it works

    Log the software of every lead and lost deal (via the picker in idea 8). Rank software by Haustechnik share, then approach the top two vendors with the pds model: an official integration, a joint press release, a webinar for their users, and an integration page with proof from day one. Build to the same depth as pds (customer recognition, service orders, CRM tasks for unknown callers).

    Each deep integration opens a new partner audience that trusts its vendor's recommendation, the channel that already works for pds and KWP.

    Risks and how to handle them

    • Small team spread thin

      One new integration at a time; hire the Founding AI Engineer first.

    The pain Hey Telo's content leads with is the missed emergency call: about 2,000 € lost per call by its own blog's math. pds describes Hey Telo checking whether out-of-hours calls need the emergency service.

    Offer the Notdienst setup to ten trial prospects who decline the full plan.

    Why it works

    Package a Notdienst-only plan: Hey Telo answers only outside business hours, triages true emergencies to the on-call technician by call and SMS, books everything else for the next morning in pds/KWP/mfr/Labelwin, and sends a morning summary. Price it below the full plan, with a one-click upgrade to daytime overflow once the owner trusts it. Promote it before the heating season through partners.

    A narrow, obviously valuable first use case lowers the risk of buying, and the morning summary proves the value daily, which leads naturally to the full plan.

    Risks and how to handle them

    • Cannibalises full plans

      Offer only to businesses not ready for daytime, with a time-limited price.

    • A wrongly triaged emergency

    Smallest test

    Load one manufacturer's error-code list and let five technicians use it for a month.

    Why it works

    Pilot with one wholesale partner: pre-load its catalogue, the top manufacturers' manuals and error-code lists into the field-service knowledge base, so any technician can ask “Fehlercode F28 bei Therme X?” by phone. The wholesaler offers it to its installer customers as a benefit, and each installer who uses it is a warm lead for the office phone AI.

    It turns the wholesaler from a webinar host into a distributor with its own reason to push the product, and it reaches technicians, not just the office.

    Risks and how to handle them

    • Wrong technical answers

      Answer only from loaded documents and cite the source page.

    • Content rights

      Use material the wholesaler or manufacturer provides and licenses.

    Two of the questions Hey Telo answers on every page are “Versteht die KI Dialekt und ungewöhnliche Namen?” and “Merken Kunden, dass sie mit einer KI sprechen?”. Customers say callers of every age cope well, and the engineering team is hired specifically to make German conversations “natural, reliable, trustworthy”. Hey Telo is active on Instagram, Facebook and LinkedIn but has no YouTube channel.

    Smallest test

    Post one dialect call on LinkedIn this month.

    Why it works

    Post a weekly 30-60 second clip (consented or staged) of a hard call: thick Bavarian or Swabian accent, a long double-barrelled name, a panicking caller with a burst pipe, someone who insists on a human. Show the call, then the clean record in pds or KWP. Post on LinkedIn, Instagram and a new YouTube channel, and reuse the clips on the site and in sales.

    Owners' biggest fear is that the AI embarrasses them with their own customers. Showing it handle the worst cases, again and again, answers that fear in public, and the series is cheap to make from material Hey Telo already has.

    Risks and how to handle them

    • A clip shows a mistake

      Show honest recoveries too; they build trust.

    • Caller privacy

      Only consented or staged calls, with voices and data anonymised where needed.

How Programmable can help

Where an idea in this playbook is something Programmable builds or runs, it's listed here with what we'd do. Everything else is yours to run.

ProgrammableTalk

Fill the events in this plan

These ideas are events. Talk gets registrants for them and tells you who's coming and what their company does before the day.

Plan an event (opens programmable.talk in a new tab)
ProgrammableDigital

Show it, don't just describe it

These ideas need something to show: a demo, a video, an animation, graphics or a deck. Digital turns screenshots or the site into all of them, in the company's own brand.

30/60/90 roadmap

What to focus on in each month, and the ideas that carry it.

  1. Days 1 to 307 ideas

    Integration pages with proof, a starting price, visible FAQ answers, real audio samples, the expired webinar page, blog fixes and a software picker on the homepage.

  2. Days 31 to 6010 ideas

    Missed-call calculator, partner webinar machine, case studies, trade pages, the switching page, monthly customer reports, add-on upsell, referrals, desktop page weight and analytics.

  3. Days 61 to 905 ideas

    Commit to the big bets (the next integrations, a night-and-weekend emergency plan, an annual reachability report) and test the two wildcards.

The research behind the plan

3 research areas, each summarised in a few lines. Open any of them for the full detail.

Customers

What customers say

Customers value being reachable all day, including on a free Friday and at call peaks. The most cited problem: missed calls while the team is on site or at peak times.

  • Callbacks and orders landing directly in pds or KWP
  • Office staff shortages
  • In their words: “Erreichbarkeit”

Market

Competitive landscape

5 competitors compared: HalloPetra, fonio.ai, Agentino, Placetel AI and 1 more.

  • Gap to exploit: Phone AI that writes clean records into Haustechnik software (pds, KWP, mfr, Labelwin)
  • HalloPetra: Broad across trades rather than deep in Haustechnik
  • fonio.ai: Generalist with no SHK workflow

Hiring signals
