Week 2 of 4 · Strangers finding you

Prove the framework

Week 2 is about proving the framework works before you ask for anything — three posts walk readers through 'The Trust Dividend' framework, plus a follow-up nudge to the 18 readers who committed a week ago but haven't posted yet.

LinkedIn post — the trust/watching tradeoffLinkedIn~3 min

For: your LinkedIn followers · Why: Teaches the book's core framework before any ask — this is what earns organic (non-roster) readers. · Goal: Move readers from aware to interested

CTA: Follow along

“The team you can see every keystroke of is not the team doing its best work.” That's the uncomfortable finding behind The Trust Dividend: teams that feel safe outperform teams that feel watched — and most leaders build the second kind by accident. The fix isn't fewer check-ins. It's a specific kind of trust I call the Trust Dividend — and it's measurable.

Ask Priya M. for an honest reviewReader ask~2 min

For: Priya M. (finished the book, committed 8 days ago) · Why: Priya committed over a week ago but hasn't posted — the commitment→published stage is this campaign's weakest link, and a personal nudge to someone who already said yes converts at 30-50%. · Goal: Move a stale commitment to published

CTA: One-tap reminder with the direct review link

Hi Priya — no pressure at all, just checking in! If you're still up for leaving an honest review of The Trust Dividend, here's the direct link: [review link]. Totally fine to skip if it's not landing for you — thank you either way for reading.

Follow up with Coaching for Leaders (podcast)Outreach~4 min

For: Coaching for Leaders — host opened the first pitch twice, no reply · Why: A second, lighter-touch follow-up after two opens outperforms silence — but it only goes out with your sign-off. · Goal: Book a podcast appearance

CTA: Approve or edit before it sends

Hi again — following up in case the first note got buried. Happy to send a one-page brief or a few sample questions if that's useful. Either way, appreciate you considering it.

Launch-week thank-you + honest review askNewsletter~4 min

For: your 4,200 newsletter subscribers · Why: Organic velocity is the north-star metric and it needs non-roster readers — your newsletter is the highest-intent channel outside the roster. · Goal: Generate 2-5 organic reviews

CTA: Ask for an honest review, not a favor

Thank you for being here for launch week. If you've read The Trust Dividend, would you take two minutes to leave an honest rating on Amazon or Goodreads? Loved it, hated it, somewhere in between — real reviews are what help other readers find the book.

To: The Modern Manager (podcast)

Approved and sent · 2026-07-08

The Modern Manager covers exactly this audience — mid-level managers navigating hybrid/remote trust — and hasn't run a book-focused episode in 6 weeks.

A framework your listeners will argue about — The Trust Dividend

Hi — I host a leadership podcast that's a close match for The Modern Manager's audience, and I wanted to bring you a book, not a pitch. The Trust Dividend (out June 30) makes the case that teams built on psychological safety outperform teams run on surveillance and fear — with a framework for measuring "trust debt" that I think your listeners would push back on in the best way. Would a 30-minute conversation work for your show? Happy to send a one-pager or sample questions first.
