Authority Engine

Scope of Work & Service Proposal
Authority Engine is a fully managed, CMO‑led personal brand system designed to build authority, generate demand, and create tangible business opportunities.
You focus on your business.
NextPersona operates the system behind your profile.
What the Authority Engine Delivers
The Authority Engine brings together strategy, execution, and optimization into one cohesive system.
Strategy
We define how your personal brand wins.
This includes:
  • Clear market positioning and authority angles
  • Audience focus and conversion goals
  • Message, tone, and point of view designed for immediate clarity and relevance
Strategy sets the direction for everything that follows: content, engagement, and conversations.
Execution
We run your personal brand end-to-end.
This includes:
  • Content creation and publishing
  • Strategic engagement and visibility
  • Inbox, outreach, and conversation management
  • Tools and systems required to operate at scale
This is a full agency setup operating behind your profile, consistent, coordinated, and aligned with strategy.
Optimization
We refine what works and scale it.
Performance is reviewed across content, engagement, and conversations.
Formats, angles, calls to action, and conversion paths are continuously improved.
The result is compounding authority — stronger trust, higher-quality conversations, and visibility that turns into real opportunities.
How the Authority Engine Works
1. Strategic Brand Positioning
Strategic Brand Positioning defines how the personal brand is perceived, who it attracts, and how attention converts into action.
This includes:
  • Clear positioning within the market and category
  • A defined personal narrative and point of view
  • Authority themes aligned with business objectives and growth goals
As part of this positioning, the LinkedIn profile is structured as a conversion surface, not a static bio.
This includes:
  • Profile messaging aligned with the brand narrative and authority position
  • Clear calls to action that guide user intent
  • Defined user pathways from profile view → conversation → next step
  • Alignment between profile positioning, content themes, and traffic destinations
The goal is to ensure that every point of contact communicates the same strategic message and that attention is intentionally guided toward meaningful outcomes.

Strategy is continuously adjusted as your audience, offers, and goals evolve.
2. Content Creation and Publishing
Your content is planned, created, and published on your behalf.
You receive:
Up to 4 high‑quality LinkedIn posts per week
Consistent, professional content delivered without you managing the process
Balanced content mix
A balanced mix of thought leadership, insights, narrative, and authority‑building content
Platform optimization
Platform‑native writing optimized for reach, engagement, saves, and profile visits
Consistency and quality are maintained without you needing to manage the process.
3. Strategic Engagement and Visibility
Engagement is used deliberately to build recognition and trust with the right audiences.

Operating guidelines:
  • Engagement is performed during defined workday windows
  • 30 minutes per day is dedicated to external engagement
Engagement focuses on three priority groups:
01
Industry peers and decision‑makers
02
High‑visibility creators to increase reach adjacency
03
Your defined target audience
In addition, engagement on your own profile is actively managed:
  • Comments on your posts are responded to within the same working window
  • Interactions remain brand‑aligned and intentional
4. Conversation and Outreach Systems
Visibility becomes valuable when it leads to conversations.
Operating guidelines:
  • Outreach and inbox activity runs during defined workday windows
  • Up to 10 targeted connection requests per day
  • Approximately 100 profile views per day via controlled automation
  • Up to 30 minutes per day (work week) dedicated to inbox and conversation management
Qualified conversations are guided toward the appropriate next step.
Automation supports scale; conversations remain personal and on-brand.
5. Conversion and Opportunity Flow
Visibility is only valuable when it is structured to convert.
We design clear conversion pathways based on your goals — whether that is leads, partnerships, consulting, product demand, or inbound opportunities.
Clear calls to action
Clear calls to action across profile and content
Conversion paths
Defined conversion paths from content → profile → conversation → action
Response frameworks
Inbound message and response frameworks & follow-up logic
Testing & refinement
Ongoing testing and refinement based on performance
The focus is building predictable opportunity flow, not vanity metrics.
Minimum Scope & Commitments
The Authority Engine operates with clearly defined baseline commitments to ensure consistency, focus, and measurable progress throughout the engagement.
These commitments define what is delivered operationally and what is reviewed each month.
1
Content
  • Up to 4 LinkedIn posts per week, planned and published consistently
  • Platform-native writing optimized for reach, engagement, saves, and profile actions
2
Engagement
  • Intentional engagement with approximately 30 priority accounts per month, across:
  • Industry peers and decision-makers
  • High-visibility creators
  • Defined target audience profiles
Engagement is relationship-driven and aligned with monthly focus.
3
Visibility & Outreach
  • Controlled profile visibility (approximately 100 targeted profile views per day)
  • Up to 10 targeted connection requests per day, focused on relevance rather than volume

    Outreach supports conversation flow, not volume-based growth tactics.
4
Meaningful Conversations (Core Commitment)
  • An minimum of 5 meaningful conversations per month

    A meaningful conversation is defined as an active, relevant back-and-forth with a qualified peer, potential client, collaborator, or opportunity where next steps (call, introduction, follow-up, partnership) are possible.
Scope Boundary
These commitments reflect operational effort and execution, not guaranteed outcomes such as revenue, follower counts, or deal closures.
Authority, trust, and opportunity compound over time through consistent execution.
Review & Measurement
Performance is reviewed on a monthly basis using a consistent reporting structure.
Each month, you receive a Monthly Authority Report that covers:
  • What was executed across content, engagement, and outreach
  • Signals observed from the right audience
  • Meaningful conversations initiated and progressed
  • Conversion and opportunity signals
  • Insights, learnings, and recommended adjustments
The purpose of measurement is directional clarity and decision-making, not vanity metrics.These commitments remain stable unless explicitly changed by agreement.
