How One Consultant Became a Bestseller Without Writing a Word

18 May, 2025 3 mins read

When Rohit Desai, a Mumbai-based business strategist with 18 years of experience, approached Estorytellers, he wanted a book that showcased his expertise, insights, and practical frameworks for startup founders. His challenge wasn’t the ideas—it was how to convert years of experience into a structured, professional book that would genuinely resonate with his audience.

The Challenges We Solved

  • Juggling a full-time consulting schedule with client projects and workshops

  • Lack of experience in structuring a business book for maximum impact

  • Preserving his authentic tone while presenting actionable advice

  • Achieving measurable outcomes such as credibility, visibility, and new business leads

Our Solution: End-to-End Ghostwriting and Strategic Publishing

Insight Extraction Workshops
Instead of standard interviews, we ran two full-day workshops with Rohit. Using visual mapping tools and storytelling exercises, we distilled his insights, case studies, and business lessons into clear thematic modules. This ensured every chapter delivered practical value and reinforced his expertise.

Collaborative Ghostwriting Approach
Rohit shared audio recordings and bullet points for each module. Our writers transformed them into polished, reader-friendly chapters while retaining his professional voice and conversational style. This collaborative method allowed him to stay involved without needing to write anything directly.

Audience-Driven Positioning
We analyzed trending business topics, popular business books in India, and startup founder needs. Using this research, we refined the title, chapter flow, and key takeaways to position the book as a must-read for mid-level executives and growth-stage entrepreneurs.

Professional Design and Seamless Publishing
The team created a sophisticated cover reflecting authority and innovation, optimized layouts for print and Kindle, and managed ISBN registration and distribution across Indian and international platforms.

Strategic Launch & Lead Generation
Instead of just pushing the book online, we implemented a multi-pronged launch strategy. LinkedIn posts highlighting case studies, guest articles in business magazines, and targeted email outreach created pre-launch buzz. Within 72 hours, the book reached bestseller status in its category and generated inbound consulting inquiries.

The Results

  • Amazon Bestseller in the Business & Leadership category

  • 35+ consulting inquiries within the first month

  • Featured in 3 business-focused Indian media outlets

  • 2 keynote speaking invitations in prominent business summits

  • Consulting revenue grew by nearly 60% in six months

Timeline of Progress

  • Collaborative chapter development using audio and notes

  • Cover design, formatting, and publishing setup

  • Launch execution with media outreach and LinkedIn campaigns

  • Bestseller status and 35+ new consulting leads
