Job description

Thinkster Careers · Pune 2026

Looking for a Sales Executive Job in Pune that goes beyond cold-calling scripts? Thinkster is hiring a driven Sales Executive to own B2B outreach, lead generation, and LinkedIn strategy from day one. If you love crafting emails that actually get replies and turning cold prospects into warm conversations — we’d love to talk.

Why This Sales Executive Job in Pune Stands Out

Most sales executive jobs in Pune are spray-and-pray operations. You’re handed a generic list, told to hit a daily call count, and judged purely on volume. After a few months, you’re burnt out and your pipeline looks exactly like everyone else’s.

This sales executive job in Pune is built differently. You’ll work on real B2B outreach campaigns, build genuine prospect relationships, and contribute directly to Thinkster’s growth engine — while developing skills that will serve you for the rest of your career. Every outreach has to feel relevant, every email has to read like a human wrote it, and every meeting you book has to be worth showing up to.

Thinkster is a design-led digital marketing agency. We sell creative services to real businesses — which means the sales role here demands more thinking than scripting. From day one, you’ll be crafting personalised outreach sequences, analysing campaign data, and sharpening your understanding of how modern B2B digital sales actually operates.

What You’ll Actually Be Doing

Outreach & Lead Generation

• LinkedIn Outreach: Find the right people, send smart messages, and build relationships that lead to business
• Cold Email Campaigns: Write and send emails that open doors — follow up with finesse, never let a hot lead go cold
• Database Building: Research and compile clean, targeted lists of potential clients using Apollo, LinkedIn, and Hunter
• Lead Qualification: Identify who is worth the team’s time and who is not — sort the gold from the gravel

Pipeline & Operations

• Appointment Setting: Coordinate discovery calls and demos for yourself and the senior BD team
• CRM Management: Maintain accurate lead status, notes, and activity logs in real time
• Campaign Analysis: Track open rates, reply rates, and conversion data — then act on the findings
• Cross-team Collaboration: Work with design, content, and digital teams to align messaging and strategy

Skills You Will Build

• B2B lead generation and prospecting techniques
• Cold email copywriting that actually gets replies
• LinkedIn Sales Navigator and profile-based outreach
• CRM management and pipeline tracking
• Sales funnel understanding — from awareness to close

• Campaign performance analysis and reporting
• Business communication and stakeholder coordination
• Email automation tools — Instantly, Apollo, Hunter
• Market research and competitor landscape awareness
• Time management and independent work discipline

Tools you’ll work with daily

• LinkedIn Sales Navigator
• Apollo.io
• Hunter.io
• Instantly
• HubSpot / Zoho CRM
• Google Sheets / Excel
• Notion / Trello

Who We’re Looking For — Sales Executive With 0–2 Years Experience

We’re hiring a sales executive with 0–2 years of experience in sales, business development, or email and LinkedIn outreach. You don’t need to have closed a six-figure deal. If you can think strategically about people, write with clarity and purpose, and are genuinely curious about how businesses find their customers — you’re already most of the way there.

What You Bring

• 0–2 years in sales, BD, or email and LinkedIn outreach
• Excellent written and verbal communication in English
• Basic understanding of sales funnels and lead generation concepts
• Familiarity with LinkedIn Sales Navigator, Apollo, Hunter, or Instantly (preferred, not mandatory)
• Comfortable with Google Sheets or Excel for tracking and reporting
• Genuine curiosity about how B2B sales and digital outreach works
• Bachelor’s degree in Marketing, Business, Communications, or related field

Your Working Style

• Self-starter with a get-it-done attitude
• Believes personalisation is not optional — it’s the whole game
• Reads a LinkedIn profile before sending any message
• Obsessively organised — your pipeline doesn’t have ghost leads
• Resilient — can take a “no” and still follow up like a professional
• Comfortable being judged on outcomes, not just activity metrics

A Sales Job in Pune That Actually Invests in You

Let’s be honest — a lot of sales executive jobs in Pune treat junior hires like executors of someone else’s strategy. You get a script, a quota, and a manager who checks in on Fridays
