About this episode
From Launch Day to Sales System: Turning Your Book Into a Lead-Qualifying Machine with Jeanette Peterson
You finished your book. It's live. You celebrated. And now... what?
In this episode of The Published Pearl, Dr. Carolyn Wiley sits down with Jeanette Peterson — prophetic strategist, Air Force veteran, and former military cybersecurity and corporate operations leader who now equips spirit-led women to turn their businesses into kingdom-building systems. Jeanette brings the same operational precision she used running seven-figure businesses to the question every author faces after launch day: how do I actually sell this book?
Together, Carolyn and Jeanette break down the seven systems every growing business needs, exactly where a book fits into that picture, and how a simple five-question quiz can qualify readers into clients on autopilot — without you having to be in it every day.

Key Quote"A book is legacy. A book is a product that is unchanged once it's in print. And when you have that book, go do what God's asking you to do, which is multiply the kingdom, help people get changed, change lives with it." — Jeanette Peterson
