FAQ

About The Marketing Shelf

Still have a question?Email support@proshelf.in.
Do I need to read the books in order?

No. Each book stands on its own; open the one whose “Solves” line matches your problem. The “How to use this book” page at the start of every book suggests where to begin.

Do I need a big budget?

No. The books are written for owners and small teams: start small, measure what each rupee brings in, then spend more only on what works.

How long does each book take?

Most chapters take about 15–20 minutes to read, so a book takes about 2–3 hours, plus time for the worksheets.

How do I get the files?

Right after payment you get a download link on the order page and by email: 11 book PDFs, 11 worksheet PDFs and 8 Excel files. The Start here page shows what to open first.

Can I read a sample?

Yes: Chapter 1 of Be the Obvious Choice is free.

Can I share the books with colleagues?

Each copy is for one reader. For team copies, write to support@proshelf.in.

What if I find a mistake?
