New to the phone.
Not new to discipline.
I'm Stefan, a DM and appointment setter from Kruševac, Serbia. I've already found and won my own clients through cold outreach and handled 200+ buyer conversations. Now I'm bringing that to high-ticket setting.

How I found 10 clients with cold outreach.
Before anyone paid me to set appointments, I had to set my own. No ads, no referrals, no inbound. Just a list, a message and the follow-up. It's the same loop a setter runs every day.
- 01
Build the list
I picked local businesses with a weak or missing website and researched each one before writing a single word.
- 02
Open the conversation
Short, personal first messages about their business, not mine. One question at the end, no pitch.
- 03
Follow up
No reply wasn't a no. I followed up, kept track of who I messaged and when, and kept every conversation moving.
- 04
Qualify and set
I asked about their customers and what a poor website was costing them. If the need was real, we set the next step.

“Opening the conversation is easy. Following up is where clients are won.”
Starting in sales.
Not starting from zero.
I didn't start in sales with a job title. I started with my own outreach: finding businesses, writing the first message, following up and turning conversations into paying clients. Then hundreds of buyer messages in my own store. Now I want to do it at a higher level. Learn your script, track every number, follow up until it's a yes or a clear no.

Four things you can count on.
Every one of them backed by something I've already done, not something I promise to become.
- 01
Ambitious
Nobody handed me clients. I researched businesses, reached out cold and won 10 of them myself, then started an e-commerce store on top of that. I don't wait for permission to start.
- 02
Fast learner
I taught myself lead generation, cold outreach and running ads, and turned each one into real conversations. Now I'm doing the same with high-ticket setting: learn the framework, practise it, use it the same week.
- 03
Team player
I've handled clients from the first message to the finished deal, so I know what the person after me needs. A booked call only counts when the closer gets a qualified prospect who shows up.
- 04
Ready to grow
I'm training in high-ticket sales and I want a team that coaches me, measures me and pushes me. Give me the script and the KPIs. I'll put in the reps.
Sales experience so far.
Before setting for anyone else, I was prospecting and selling for myself. The full work history is in my CV.

DM Sales & Lead Generation
Every sale started as a message. I ran Facebook Marketplace ads (8,000+ impressions) and worked 200+ buyer inquiries in the DMs myself: answering questions, handling hesitation and following up until it was a sale or a clear no.
2024 – 2026
Cold Outreach & Setting
No inbound, no warm leads. I built my own lead lists, researched each business, sent personalised cold messages, followed up and qualified the owners who replied before setting the next conversation. 10 of those conversations became paying clients.
2022 – 2025
Proprietary Trader
Managed a $50K funded account under strict risk rules: 1–2% max risk per position and drawdown kept under 5%. Backtested 200+ setups, held a 1:2.5 average risk-to-reward and executed the plan under pressure, every day, without letting emotion make the decision.
Trained, and still training.
I learn from people who book and close high-ticket calls every day, then I practise the scripts until they sound like me.
From first message to a held call.
- Step 01
Prospect
Work the list or the inbox every day, on time, with volume. Cold DMs, opted-in leads or calls.
- Step 02
Qualify
Ask before I pitch: need, budget, timing. If it isn't a fit, it doesn't get booked.
- Step 03
Book
Let the prospect say the problem out loud, then lock a slot on the closer's calendar.
- Step 04
Follow up
Reminders, no-show recovery and reschedules. Every touch logged in the CRM.
No inflated numbers. Track my conversations, bookings and show rate from week one and judge me on those.
Before you ask.
Why hire someone new to setting?
Because you get the habits without the bad ones. I've already prospected cold, written first messages, followed up and won my own clients. What I need from you is your script and your offer. I'll learn them fast and stick to them.
Have you done outreach before?
Yes. I found and won 10 clients through my own research and cold outreach, and I handled 200+ buyer inquiries in my e-commerce store. Setting for a high-ticket offer is the next step, not a leap.
Where are you based, and what hours can you work?
Kruševac, Serbia, on Central European Time. I work remotely and I'm flexible on hours for the right team.
How is your English?
B2, and improving every week through sales training in English. I'm comfortable in DMs and on calls, and I prepare my scripts word for word.
What are you learning right now?
High-ticket sales and appointment setting with Jeremy Haynes, Brian Choi and Ethan: qualification, objection handling, booking and follow-up.
One number I'm working toward.
Why tell you this? A setter on commission only earns when your calendar is full of calls that close. My goal and your pipeline are the same number.
Step 01
Land the role
Join a high-ticket team as a DM or appointment setter.
Step 02
Master the script
Hit daily activity targets and book qualified calls, every single day.
Step 03
Own the numbers
Steady show rate and calls the closers can actually close.
Goal
$5,000 / month
Earned on results, from calendars I filled.
