Raking light across the shafts of a stone colonnade
The after hours line

Shema picks up what voicemail was losing.

It answers your line at any hour, quotes your prices, and books the job.

Part two, the product What it is 01

It sits on the line you already have.

Shema is not a new number. It is what happens on your number when nobody picks up. Your phone rings first, every time. If you get it, Shema never hears the call.

Shema is Hebrew for listen. Where Peniel speaks about the standard, Shema speaks about the shift. Its reader is holding a phone in one hand and a wrench in the other, and has already been burned by an answering service.

Weathered fresco, drapery and a bare foot

The promise is small and total. Nobody reaches your voicemail again.

Part two, the product On the phone 02

How Shema talks

Built for home services first. The same product, taught a different job, one trade at a time.

Name the shop first. The caller should know where they landed inside three words.
Solve before selling. If there is water on the floor, deal with the water.
One question at a time. Never stack two asks in a sentence.
Say the price plainly. Numbers out loud, no softening, no apology.
Never claim to be human. If asked directly, answer directly and carry on.
Pace

Slightly slower than a person in a hurry. It is never in a hurry.

Silence

It waits a full beat after the caller stops. It does not interrupt.

A Tuesday, 11.52pm 00:00
The recording

The audio of this call goes here. Ask for it on the call and we will send it.

Part two, the product On a shift 03

It hears the question, gives your price, and writes the appointment into your calendar.

Answers

Hours, service area, what you do and do not take. You write the answers once.

Quotes

Your numbers, said plainly. It will not quote a job it has not been taught. It gets you instead.

Books

Real slots off your live calendar, written in before the caller hangs up.

Hands off

Commercial quotes and anything off script come to you, with the transcript attached.


You set the rules and you read every transcript. It never invents a price, and it never promises a time your calendar does not have.

Part two, the product Setup 04

You keep your number. We sit behind it.

Nothing about your line changes for the people who already have it. The only thing that changes is what happens on the calls you miss.

First

A call with us

Forty five minutes. Your services, your hours, your prices, and what you want woken up for. You talk, we write it down.

Then

You listen before it is live

We teach it your shop and send you recordings of it working. You tell us what is wrong. We change it and send it again.

Last

It goes on the line

Your phone still rings first. Shema only picks up the ones you do not. You can switch it off from your phone.


We quote it on the call, once we know how many calls you are missing. There is no price on this page because there is no price that fits every shop.

Nobody reaches your voicemail again.
