Give it somewhere to go. Bring your book, reader relationships, and follow-up together in Storybase, and build a path to your services, community, and brand.
What is a book funnel?
A book funnel is a path from discovering your book to taking a next step with you. That might mean joining your community, exploring your services, or sharing your work. Storybase connects the book, the reading experience, and the follow-up along that path.
One book. More possibility.
From first read to lasting connection
Imagine Shawn Priddy sharing 2 Important with a leader who works behind the scenes. The book earns their attention. Storybase gives Shawn a way to understand their goals, invite them into coaching, and help his ideas reach the next leader.
01Connect
Start with something worth sharing
After a conversation with a second-in-command leader, Shawn sends 2 Important with a note about why he thought of them. The welcome feels personal, with the book and an invitation to keep in touch together.
- A branded book page for discovery and sharing
- Personal notes that make the introduction yours
02Understand
Learn who is leaning in
Maya wants to lead well without being the person in charge. Her answers and reading activity give Shawn context for the conversation, bringing a real person into his audience instead of leaving a download on its own.
- Reader names and emails in your audience
- Custom questions and chapter insights on Plus
03Engage
Give the ideas room to take hold
The first chapter asks what it means to become a leader others trust. Shawn can build on that moment with a companion course and reflection through his author-trained AI, helping readers connect the book to their own work.

Your Last Name
How do you become the kind of leader that leaders trust? The answer I found is counterintuitive. At forty years old, I sat at the kitchen table with bills stacked in three uneven piles—mortgage, credit cards, utilities—and no clear way forward. The house was quiet. Kim had gone to bed an hour earlier, and I’d told her I’d be in soon, but I couldn’t move.
