Expectations & Accountability

This document is reviewed together on Day 1. She reads it, you walk through it together, and she acknowledges it in writing. No surprises after this point.

Welcome to the Team

You are joining Sustainable Fit Lifestyle as a DM Setter and Social Media Assistant. May Long is the coach and the business owner. You represent her in every DM conversation and on every rapport call. The prospect always thinks they are talking to May directly.

This is a performance-based role. The more qualified calls you book and the more clients who sign, the more you earn. The base pay covers your time. The bonuses are where the real earning potential lives.

This document covers what is expected of you, how your performance is measured, and what happens if expectations are not met. Read it carefully. There are no surprises after today.

Your Role — Three Steps, All Yours

This role has three steps. All three are required. May only takes over at the very last step, the sales Zoom. Everything before that is your job.

May takes the Zoom from there and closes the client. Your job is everything that happens before the Zoom. Avoiding the phone call part of this job because you feel uncomfortable is a performance issue. We screen carefully for phone confidence because this step is non-negotiable.

Daily Expectations

Weekly Meeting — Non-Negotiable

Every Monday we have a 15-minute meeting via Zoom. This is a team huddle, so you and the other setter are both on the call. Same time every week. You attend every week. Before the meeting, you send May your previous week's totals on WhatsApp so she has the numbers ready before the call starts. May's permanent Zoom link: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/3233776566

The message you send every Monday before the meeting:
Conversations: ___ / Follow-ups: ___ / Calls pitched: ___ / Calls booked: ___ / Closes: ___ / How I'd rate my week (1-10): ___ / My projection for calls I can book this week: ___

Send this on WhatsApp before the meeting starts every Monday. May reviews it before the call so you go straight into the discussion without spending time reading numbers out loud. The projection is your honest best guess for how many calls you can book this week based on the leads coming in. It makes the number yours, not just something May hands you.

If you cannot attend, you give 24 hours notice. Missing the meeting without notice is a Strike 1 offense.

Midweek check-ins during your ramp. For your first few weeks, we also do quick Wednesday and Friday check-ins, just you and May, one on one on WhatsApp by voice or text. These are private, not in front of the other setter. For Wednesday, come ready with one or two of your toughest conversations from that week. The ones where you were not sure what to say or where it stalled. We pull them up and work through them together. That is how you get sharp fast. Wednesday is your booked number so far, your tough conversations, and "what do you need from me." Friday is wins, where your projection stands, and what content is coming next week to bring you more leads. Once you are settled, we may drop back to just Mondays.

The Team Group Chat

You will be added to a WhatsApp group with May and the other setter. This is how the team stays coordinated, which matters because you both share the same inbox on different days. Use it for:

Always check the inbox history before you reply to anyone. Because you share the inbox, the other setter may have already been talking to that person. Read what was already said so you continue smoothly as May and never repeat a question or contradict what was already said.

Conversation Reviews and Feedback

This is how you get good fast. It is a normal, permanent part of the job, not a sign you are doing anything wrong. The best setters get reviewed constantly. Here is how it works.

During your ramp (first 2 weeks)

May reviews your actual DM conversations daily. She may jump into the DMs alongside you, suggest tweaks, and show you how she would handle certain replies. This is the fastest way to learn the voice and the system. Expect daily feedback and lean into it.

Once you start taking rapport calls

You record every rapport call, always. This is required because May uses each recording to build the sales call. She pulls the prospect's exact words from your call so she can mirror them back on the Zoom. No rapport call is ever run without recording it. Use the GoHighLevel app on your phone to dial the prospect. Put your phone on speakerphone. On your laptop, open Sound Recorder (Windows) or Voice Memos (Mac) and hit record before you dial. Both voices will be captured through your laptop mic. Send the recording file to May on WhatsApp after every call.

Separately, for your own coaching, May reviews at least one of those recordings each week and gives you specific feedback on how you ran the call. Same recordings you are already making, she just picks one to coach you on. This feedback continues ongoing, not just during ramp.

Your Numbers (KPIs)

These are the targets for a part-time setter once you are past your two-week ramp.

Daily targets (part time)

The one to watch most: calls pitched. If you are having conversations but not pitching calls, the booked number stays at zero and nothing moves. Pitching qualified people onto calls is the whole job. If your calls pitched drops to zero for several days, that is the first thing we will talk about.

Pay Structure

Working as a Team — Coverage and Credit

You are not the only setter. May has a small team, and you each have your own days and hours that are staggered so someone is always covering the accounts. Here is how that works so it is clear and fair.

The short version: you all talk to everyone so no lead waits, and the bonus goes to whoever books and runs the rapport call that leads to a sign up. Cover each other, book fast, and the credit takes care of itself.

Probation Period

Your first 3 months are a probation period. This is standard and applies to everyone. During probation, Timeproof is required for all working hours. Performance is reviewed at the end of month 3. If you are meeting targets, showing up consistently, and communicating well, you continue beyond probation.

After 6 months of strong, consistent performance, May may choose to move to output-based tracking only and remove the Timeproof requirement. That decision is May's to make based on the relationship and your track record. It is not automatic and it is not something you can request. It is earned over time.

The real proof of work is not screenshots. It is DM activity in GoHighLevel. Conversations started, guides sent, calls pitched, calls booked. If your EOD report matches what shows up in the system, you are doing your job. That is what gets you to 6 months and beyond.
The earning potential is real. At 3 to 4 hours a day you earn roughly $60 to $80 a week base. Think of base pay as what covers your bills. The bonus is how you actually earn well in this role. Two closes a week adds $100 to your weekly pay. Four closes a month adds $200 to your monthly pay. Strong performers who consistently pitch qualified prospects earn significantly more than base. The setter who treats the bonus as the real target and the base as the floor will always out-earn the one who is comfortable at base. Which one do you want to be?

How This Business Works — And Why Your Role Matters

The flywheel

This is how the business grows and how your earning potential grows with it:

May brings leads through content and ads

You qualify them and book rapport calls

May closes them on the Zoom

Revenue comes in

May spends more on ads → more leads come in

You book more calls → you earn more bonuses

The cycle grows

You are the link between May's top of funnel and her closing power. Every qualified call you book is a real opportunity for May to close a client and for you to earn $50. The more leads come in, the more opportunities you have. The more you pitch confidently, the more closes happen, the more the business grows, and the more May can invest in bringing in even more leads. Your success and the business's success are directly connected.

The Pitch Timing Rule — Avoid Both Failure Modes

There are two ways setters fail and both hurt the business and your earning potential.

Over-qualifying: Asking too many questions, never feeling ready to pitch, using qualifying as a way to avoid the phone. The conversation goes 15 messages deep and you still have not pitched. The prospect gets bored and disappears. You earn nothing.
Under-qualifying: Pitching after 3 messages to anyone who seems interested. May gets on the Zoom with someone who has no money, no urgency, and no real pain. 45 minutes wasted. Close rate tanks. This is just as bad as not pitching at all.
The three things that tell you when to pitch:

1. Pain confirmed — they described a specific struggle that has been going on long enough to be frustrating.
2. Want help confirmed — they explicitly said or signaled they want someone to help them, not just a free tip.
3. Can invest confirmed — their job and location signal they have the means to pay for coaching.

When all three are present, pitch. Do not wait for a perfect moment. Do not ask three more questions to be sure. Pitch now.

Do not let conversations drag

Long back and forth conversations that never get to a pitch tend to fizzle out, and the person ghosts. So once you have confirmed the three things, pitch.

Either you pitch, or you make a conscious decision to nurture and come back later. No drifting in the middle forever.

Targets — How They Work

Targets exist to keep momentum and give both of us a clear picture of what is working. Here is how they are set and enforced.

The shared accountability principle: Your job is to convert the leads that exist. May's job is to make sure leads keep coming through content, ads, and guide opt-ins. New followers from boosted ads typically take 8 to 16 weeks to warm up before they are ready to have a real conversation. This means lead quality fluctuates and is not always in your control. If lead volume is low or the audience is cold, your numbers will reflect that and it is not a performance issue. If lead volume is healthy but you are not pitching, that IS a performance issue. We always look at both sides before drawing conclusions.
Important: Not having targets or having targets that are never enforced is what causes setters to drift and get comfortable. Targets are real. They are tracked every week. They are discussed every Monday. Consistently missing targets without a valid reason is a performance issue.
Weeks 1-2
Learning only. No call booking targets. Focus on studying the SOP, learning the system, running conversations with guidance, and getting comfortable with the Claude AI tool. May will review your conversations and send feedback via WhatsApp with screenshots. Ask questions freely. This is your foundation.
Weeks 3-4
Soft targets begin. Aim for 3 to 5 rapport calls booked per week depending on lead volume. Lead flow is tied to how warm the audience is at any given time. If the pipeline is thin, targets adjust accordingly. That is never an excuse to stop pitching, but it is always considered when reviewing numbers. May continues reviewing conversations and sending WhatsApp feedback with screenshots. Weekly meetings now include target tracking.
Weeks 5-8
Full performance expectations. Targets increase as volume grows and you get sharper. May reviews one conversation per weekly meeting and gives feedback directly. You are expected to bring your own pipeline analysis and suggestions to the Monday meeting.
Week 8+
Ascension path. Strong performers who consistently hit targets and show good judgment move toward taking on more responsibility. May plans to hire a second setter as volume grows, and your performance influences the timeline and your role going forward.

The Warning System

Expectations are clear from day one. Here is exactly what happens if they are not met.

1

Strike 1 — Verbal Warning via WhatsApp

Sent when: EOD report missed 3 days in a row, weekly meeting missed without notice, calls pitched drops to zero for 3 consecutive days, or any other consistent behavior that is below expectations. May sends a clear message identifying the issue and giving a one-week window to correct it. Date is documented.

2

Strike 2 — Written Warning via WhatsApp

Sent when: the same issue continues after Strike 1, or a new serious issue appears. May sends a formal written message identifying the issue, referencing the prior warning, and setting a specific correction deadline. Screenshot saved. If correction happens, the slate is reset after 30 days of consistent performance.

3

Strike 3 — Termination

If the issue continues after Strike 2, or a third separate issue arises. Clean, professional, and immediate. Paid through the last day worked. No drama.

Immediate Termination — No Warnings

The following result in immediate termination with no strike warnings:

🚫 Reporting false hours

Claiming hours you did not work. This is the most serious trust violation. Immediate termination, no exceptions.

🚫 Sharing prospect or client information

Sharing any information about prospects, clients, conversations, or business data with anyone outside this arrangement. This is a confidentiality violation.

🚫 Deliberately booking unqualified calls to hit numbers

Pitching people who are clearly not qualified just to inflate your booking numbers. One or two mistakes during learning is normal. Doing it intentionally after being corrected is not.

🚫 Coaching in the DMs after being explicitly told not to

Giving prospects advice, tips, or solutions in the DMs after this boundary has been made clear.

Confidentiality

Everything you see, hear, and work with in this role is confidential. Prospect names, client information, business strategies, revenue numbers, conversation content, the SOP, the AI prompt, and anything else related to this business. You do not share any of it with anyone outside this arrangement, ever. This applies during your time in this role and after it ends.

What Success Looks Like

A great setter at SFL is someone who shows up every day, works the system, gives value generously to prospects, pitches confidently when gates are cleared, runs rapport calls with warmth, submits her EOD every day, comes to the Monday meeting prepared, and brings her own ideas about how to improve. She earns well above base because she books closes consistently. She grows into more responsibility over time. That is the person we are looking for and that is what this role can become.
