About the role
367 Agency drives growth for consumer brands across D2C, marketplace, and quick commerce.
Your role is to onboard new clients: mid-to-large brands looking to scale on Blinkit, Instamart, Zepto - opening doors, closing retainers, and handing them over to delivery team to execute.
What you will do
Target High-Value Brands:
Build and execute a target list of mid-size and large consumer brands selling on Quick Commerce platforms.
Run Discovery Calls:
Connect directly with founders, category heads, and marketing leads to understand their growth opportunities on quick commerce.
Pitch & Close:
Lead pitches, define scope and pricing, and close monthly retainers.
Manage Smooth Handovers:
Provide a thorough brief to the delivery team upon signing and stay close for the first 30 days to ensure a smooth transition.
Build Platform Relationships:
Build and maintain working relationships with the teams at Blinkit, Zepto and Instamart.
Keep a Regular Cadence:
Meet the Blinkit, Zepto, and Instamart teams on a fixed schedule.
Be Present at Events:
Participate in quick commerce and industry events to meet platform teams and brand decision-makers in person.
Track the Pipeline:
Maintain weekly CRM updates and share conversion metrics, deal statuses, and insights directly with agency partners.
Share Market Intelligence:
Feed platform trends, brand feedback, and competitive insights back into our agency strategy.
What you will not do
Day-to-day client management
Campaign setup, optimisation or media buying
Performance reporting and dashboards
The delivery team owns all of this. Your work ends at a signed client and a clean handover.
RequirementsExperience:
6 to 8 years in sales or business development, with at least 2 years selling services or solutions to FMCG, D2C, or consumer brands.
Quick Commerce Expertise:
Practical understanding of operational and growth bottlenecks on Blinkit, Instamart, or Zepto- gained either inside a quick commerce company (marketing/ops) or from brand/agency side partnerships.
Existing Network:
Active relationships with brand founders, category heads, or marketing leads.
Track Record:
Proven history of closing retainer-based deals, backed by shareable numbers.
Discipline & Conviction:
Comfort with cold outreach and multi-touch pipelines, plus the strategic confidence to hold your ground and defend your POV in pitches.
