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

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. That’s not what this is.

At Thinkster, you’ll understand the strategy behind every outreach campaign you run. You’ll know why a subject line works, what makes a LinkedIn message get a reply, and how to use data to make your next campaign better than your last. You’ll sit in on real strategy discussions, see how a lead goes from a LinkedIn search to a signed contract, and walk away with a skills foundation that makes you genuinely hireable — anywhere.

Whether you’re a fresher searching for your first business development job in Pune, or someone with a year of experience looking for a smarter environment to grow in — this role is built to stretch you without burning you out.

“Pipeline isn’t a number. It’s the trust you’ve built one message at a time.”

More Than a Regular Sales Executive Job — Full B2B Outreach Ownership

A lot of companies offering a sales executive job in Pune treat the role like a dialling machine. At Thinkster, you get context. You understand the full picture — who the client is, what problem we’re solving for them, and why your outreach message is framed the way it is.

You’ll learn the difference between outreach that generates replies and outreach that just eats inbox space — a lesson most LinkedIn outreach jobs in Pune never bother to teach. And because this is a focused team with direct access to decision-makers, your ideas don’t get buried in approval chains. If you spot a smarter way to target a segment on Monday, we can test it by Wednesday.

You’ll also be selling work you can actually be proud of. Our team handles real branding and rebranding projects, end-to-end social media marketing campaigns, and digital strategy that drives outcomes. When your outreach lands, it leads to interesting conversations — not pitches you feel weird about.

Perks & Pay

  • – Competitive salary based on experience and actual results, not just activity
  • – Fast career growth — we notice and reward hustle
  • – Real impact — your work directly fuels our growth
  • – Hands-on exposure to sales automation tools and CRM workflows from day one
  • – Direct mentorship from experienced sales and BD professionals
  • – Real campaign data and analytics you can showcase in future interviews
  • – Clear path to growth — Senior Sales Executive, BD Manager, or Account Manager tracks
  • – Modern Bavdhan, Pune office with snacks and good coffee

Career Growth — From Sales Executive to Business Development Manager

Joining as a sales executive in Pune at Thinkster isn’t an end-state — it’s the starting point of a clear career track. By the time you’ve spent 6–12 months here, you’ll have a concrete portfolio of outreach campaigns, conversion data, and CRM experience that you can walk into any interview and own completely.

Strong performers typically progress to Senior Sales Executive within 12 months, and to Business Development Manager or Account Manager roles within 18–24 months. Top performers are also considered for expanded responsibilities — including managing junior team members or leading outreach strategy for specific verticals. We don’t believe in keeping good people stuck on the same KRA sheet for years.
