READ THIS FIRST
We're hiring ONE full-time Inbound Appointment Setter to call warm leads from our
This is NOT cold calling. Every lead you speak to has already raised their hand by submitting their info through one of our ads. Your job is to reach them fast, run a proven script, and book them onto the salon's calendar.
If you're a sales-oriented setter who loves high-volume work, runs scripts the way they were written, and is motivated by performance pay tied to real results — keep reading. If you want a low-pressure customer service job or you like "making the script your own," this won't be a fit.
IF YOUR BACKGROUND IS PRIMARILY CUSTOMER SERVICE OR VIRTUAL ASSISTANT AND NOT SALES, PLEASE DO NOT APPLY.
OTE: $1,250–$2,000/month (base $900–$1,000 + uncapped performance bonuses).
13th month pay included — paid every December, on top of your base. Not baked in. Not restructured. A full extra month of base pay, added on top.

ABOUT THE COMPANY
You'll be employed by Midnight Siren, a growth and client acquisition company that operates and supports beauty service businesses. Your day-to-day work focuses on a family-owned, color-specialist hair salon in Fontana, California that has served the Inland Empire for over 21 years.
The salon has 4.9 stars on Google with 200+ reviews and a stylist team with 75+ combined years of experience. The business is real, established, and respected in its market.
You'll work directly under Ethan, the founder of Midnight Siren — no middle managers, no agency layers between you and the person making decisions. The Midnight Siren team is small and tightly focused. The stylists at salon handle the in-salon experience; you and Ethan handle everything that gets a client booked.
A note on team structure: you will be the only appointment setter on the team. Your day-to-day working relationship is directly with Ethan. There are no peer-level coworkers, no team chat with other appointment setters, no group energy to feed off. If you thrive with autonomy, clear systems, and a direct manager relationship, this works well. If you need a team environment or peer social dynamic to stay motivated, this will feel isolating over time.
We're in an active scaling phase. Core processes exist and are being refined. They don't change daily, but they evolve as we learn. If you like improving systems alongside a team, you'll fit. If you want a fully crystallized corporate environment where nothing ever shifts, you won't.

WHAT YOU'LL ACTUALLY BE DOING
This is a front-line revenue role, not customer support.
Daily:
- Call new
- Run our call script word-for-word for the entire call, from greeting to booking. The only time you go off-script is to answer a client's specific question (directions, timing) or collect unique info.
- Respond to inbound SMS,
- Collect cards on file via secure link (never over the phone), book appointments, reschedule, and cancel
- Call no-shows to get them back on the calendar
- Coordinate with stylists about client requests and scheduling needs
- Create follow-up tasks in HighLevel (our CRM)
- Submit a brief end-of-day report with your numbers
Weekly:
- One coaching/review call with Ethan (~30–45 min)
- Async coaching via Loom video reviews on your live call recordings between meetings
- Review your KPIs, own your numbers, and bring data-backed ideas to improve them
During training (first 2–4 weeks):
We'll meet daily for live coaching to get you fully ramped before transitioning to the weekly + async cadence.

A WORD ON THE CALL SCRIPT (READ CAREFULLY)
We say "word-for-word" because that's how the role works — but we want to clear up the most common concern people have about that:
"Won't I sound like a robot if I'm reading a script?"
No. Think about the best actors in your favorite movies. They're saying lines someone else wrote. They don't sound robotic because they've rehearsed enough that the words feel natural, and they bring real warmth, tone, and presence to the delivery. THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT WE'RE AFTER. The script is the structure. Your tone, pacing, and warmth are what make it feel human.
We train for this. You'll rehearse, get coached on tonality and pacing, and review your own call recordings until the words feel like yours — even though they're not. The setters who do this best sound like they're having a natural conversation that just happens to follow a proven path.
The script DOES change over time — but only based on data. If something isn't landing in calls, we test a new version, measure the results, and update the script if it works better. What we don't do is let setters freelance individual changes on the fly, because then we can't tell what's working and what's not.
If you bring an idea for a better line, we'll genuinely consider it. We'll A/B test it together. If the data shows it works better, it becomes the newscript. That's the structured way changes happen here.
If that framing works for you, you'll thrive. If "follow a script and let us measure what works" feels suffocating, this role won't be a fit.

SCHEDULE (PACIFIC TIME — GRAVEYARD SHIFT IN PHILIPPINES)
All schedule references in this post are in US Pacific Time. Because PH is 15-16 hours ahead of California, each shift starts late at night your time and ends the following morning.
- US workdays: Monday through Friday
- US days off: Saturday and Sunday
- Hours per day: 8 hours of work + 1 hour of break (30 min lunch + 2× 15 min breaks, or 30 min lunch + 1× 30 min break — your call)
- Pacific Time (US): 7:45 AM – 4:45 PM PST
Philippine Time during US Standard Time (roughly November through mid-March):
Shift runs 11:45 PM – 8:45 AM PHT
- A US Monday shift = late Monday night through Tuesday morning your time
- A US Friday shift = late Friday night through Saturday morning your time
- Your days off in PH local time: Sunday and Monday (until your shift starts late Monday night)
Philippine Time during US Daylight Savings Time (roughly mid-March through early November):
- Shift runs 10:45 PM – 7:45 AM PHT
- Same day-shift logic as above — shift starts the previous calendar evening in PH
This schedule is FIXED. It's based on data showing when our booking demand peaks. If you need flexible hours, rotating shifts, or plan to hold another job during these times, this role is not a fit.
Please re-read this section carefully and make sure BOTH the standard-time and daylight-savings schedules work for you long-term before applying. The 1-hour shift twice a year is non-negotiable — it follows US business hours. Please make sure BOTH schedules work for you long-term before applying.

COMPENSATION
Base pay:
$900–$1,000/month (depending on experience), paid via Wise on the 1st and 15th of every month.
13TH MONTH PAY included — paid every December on top of your regular base, not restructured into it. Prorated in your first year if you start mid-year. Total annualized base compensation including 13th month: $11,700–$13,000.
Performance bonuses (uncapped, paid monthly):
- $3 per new client showed appointment
- $2 per existing client showed appointment
- $1 per rebooking confirmation (low-effort confirmation calls for clients who already booked through the salon)
Tiered cumulative threshold bonuses (paid monthly):
- +$75 at 90 showed appointments/month
- +$150 at 120 showed appointments/month
- +$350 at 150 showed appointments/month
Worked examples:
Baseline performer — 90 showed appointments/month:
- Base: $950 (midpoint)
- Performance: ~$225 (avg $2.50/show × 90)
- Threshold bonus: $75
- Total: ~$1,250/month
Solid performer — 120 showed appointments/month:
- Base: $950
- Performance: ~$300 (avg $2.50/show × 120)
- Threshold bonus: $225 ($75 + $150)
- Total: ~$1,475/month
Top performer — 150 showed appointments/month (90% show rate on ~167 booked):
- Base: $1,000
- Performance: $450 ($3×90 new + $2×20 existing + $1×40 rebooking)
- Threshold bonuses: $575 ($75 + $150 + $350)
- Total: ~$2,025/month
This is a PERFORMANCE-PAY ROLE. 30–50% of your monthly income should be earned through bonuses. The base is intentionally modest. If you want a high guaranteed salary with low expectations, this is not the role.

OTHER BENEFITS
1. Annual performance-based raise after your first year
2. 14 days of PTO per year, single bucket, available after 90-day probation (use for vacation, holidays, sickness — your call). For planned multi-day time off, give us at least 1 week's notice so we can plan coverage. Emergencies are understood — just communicate as soon as you can.
3. 90-day initial probation period. Pay is NOT REDUCED during probation.

TARGET KPIs
- Lead to Booking Rate: 25%+
- Show Rate: 90%+
- Bookings per day: 4–9
- Showed appointments per month: 100–160
- Daily volume: Finish all assigned tasks each day. We supply ~17–25 leads per day plus follow-ups, no-shows, reactivations, and rebooking confirmations. HIGH CALL VOLUME (150–250 CALLS/DAY) IS NORMAL AND NON-NEGOTIABLE. If that sounds overwhelming instead of energizing, this is not a fit.

WHO WE'RE LOOKING FOR
Background:
- Female candidates tend to perform best with our 35–65 female clientele, so we especially encourage strong female applicants — but the role is open to all genders.
- Bilingual (English + Spanish) is a plus but not required.
Non-negotiable skills:
- Advanced English with minimal accent. An American listener should not need to strain to understand you. If we have to focus to follow what you're saying, that's a disqualifier.
- Strong spoken communication — clear voice, confident on calls, doesn't ramble, not soft-spoken.
- Script discipline. You're comfortable running proven scripts word-for-word in mandatory parts of the call. (See the script section above for context on what this actually means day-to-day.)
- Natural call control. You can guide a conversation efficiently without talking over clients or letting calls drift. You redirect politely and keep the call outcome-focused.
- Sales experience: 6 months minimum (1 year+ preferred). Job-hopping resumes (multiple roles under 3–6 months each) will be disqualified.
- Comfortable holding the line on policies (rescheduling, deposits, etc.) without weakening the script or over-promising.
- Objection handling — you acknowledge, ask questions to reframe, and guide the client. You don't fire off rebuttals that invoke more resistance.
- CRM literacy. GoHighLevel experience strongly preferred.
- High data accuracy. You enter info correctly the first time. This is a precision role, not a speed-only one.
- Process-oriented. You follow standardized workflows. If you want to change something, you bring a clear, data-backed suggestion to your manager and wait for a decision.
- Strong working memory and multitasking — you can listen, think, type, recall rules, and follow scripts simultaneously without freezing.
- Emotional steadiness under high-volume periods. Spikes happen. You execute calm under load.
Preferred:
- Familiarity with the salon/beauty industry
- Personal interest in beauty or self-care
- Experience working with older female clientele (35–65)
- Experience with Slack, Slite, Airtable, Claude or ChatGPT (we use AI to streamline daily work — if you can leverage it, you'll move faster)
Mindset (MOST IMPORTANT):
We'd rather hire someone who's a 10 in mindset and 7 in sales skill than the reverse. Here's what we mean:
- Ownership & volume mindset — you take responsibility for outcomes, not tasks. You see high-volume, repetitive work as leverage, not burnout.
- Process discipline — you operate consistently inside defined systems. You let your personality show through tone and warmth, not by changing the words.
- Sales psychology — you understand how to influence through trust, value framing, and subtle urgency. You communicate with intention, not chit-chat.
- Speed bias — you move fast, close loops quickly, and accelerate under pressure instead of slowing down.
- Coachability — you receive feedback without ego and adapt immediately. No defensiveness, no excuses.
- KPI awareness — you understand the numbers behind your role and how your daily actions move them.

TECH REQUIREMENTS
Non-negotiable:
- Internet minimum requirements: 25 Mbps download, 10 Mbps upload, ping under 80ms. Stable connection. We will test your speed and audio live from your actual work setup before we hire.
- Backup plan for outages. If your internet or power cuts out mid-shift, you need a real fallback — mobile hotspot, secondary ISP, UPS, co-working space, or some combination. You'll describe your specific backup setup in your application.
- Computer: 8 GB RAM minimum (16+ preferred). Processor: Intel Core i5 or equivalent, 8th generation or newer. SSD preferred. Working laptop or desktop
- Mouse
- Wired headset with boom mic (3.5mm or USB-C). No Bluetooth, no laptop mic, no AirPods.
- Webcam — laptop built-in is fine. You'll be on camera for interviews, training, and coaching calls.
- Quiet, dedicated workspace. No roosters, no karaoke neighbors, no babies crying, no traffic, no dogs barking during calls. We will hear it on the call, and so will our clients.
Preferred:
- Second monitor
- You already own a headset that meets the requirements above (we'll provide one if you don't, but having your own helps you start faster)
---
DO NOT APPLY IF:
- Your background is primarily customer service, general VA work, or admin support with no direct sales or appointment setting experience. This role requires proven experience persuading people, handling objections, and closing toward a booked appointment. Customer service experience alone is not sufficient.
- Your spoken English is hard to understand on the phone — this is a phone role first and the single biggest dealbreaker
- You're juggling multiple clients or planning to freelance on the side. THIS MUST BE YOUR ONLY JOB. We track performance closely and will discover this fast.
- You want a high guaranteed salary with low performance pressure
- You don't like high call volume or you find scripts "suffocating"
- You see remote work as "work whenever you feel like it"
- You can't sustain a graveyard shift long-term
- You're looking for a short-term gig — we expect a minimum 12-month commitment after probation
