Ep 15. Predicting Trends and Building Solutions with Simon Williams

Glen Carlson

Cofounder, Dent

My guest in this episode is Simon Williams, better known as "The App Man". Simon is one of the leading legends in the App world. He started his company, AppManSecrets, from the ground up and has overseen its rise to now generating a six-figure revenue. AppManSecrets is one of the most prolific App development and consultancy companies in the world, and has worked with clients across 30 different industries and four continents.

Simon may be a master of Apps, but amazingly he's not a techie. Instead, he's a genius when it comes to observing trends, creating ideas and leveraging all of that to achieve unbelievable success. He's passionate about helping businesses to utilise Apps to master their industries, and goes about sharing his incredible knowledge and insights in his role as an International Speaker, and in his bestselling book, Rich App Poor App.

It was awesome to talk with Simon because not only is his company wildly successful, (raking in a six-figure income) he's also a total rockstar when it comes to analysing the marketplace and leveraging content – two things that are incredibly important no matter what your business is.

  • How to go about predicting trends in the market

  • Pushing your thinking in terms of products and services that you can deliver

  • The client sell and client nurture process

  • How to nail major partnerships

How long does it take to complete KPI?

The programme is built around a 12-month foundation year. This is the time it takes to build your full authority ecosystem. From there, many clients continue to compound their results year on year. Within 24 hours of joining, you'll get full access to the KPI platform. In your first week, you'll attend a group onboarding session where you'll learn how to navigate the platform, access your resources, subscribe to our event calendars, and book into your first Value Canvas Kickoff.

How long has Dent been doing this?

Over 5,500 businesses across 60+ industries in EMEA, the Americas, and Asia-Pacific have gone through our accelerators.

What is your mission?

Our mission is to produce Key People of Influence who stand out, scale up, and make an impact in the world.

What makes this different from programmes?

The biggest difference is that KPI is a production environment, not a course. You don't watch videos and hope something sticks. You build 15-17 real assets of influence — your book, your scorecard, your productised offer, your lead generation system — in structured 10-day sprints with live coaching. Every asset goes to market as you build it. Real feedback, real results, real revenue impact. And you're doing it alongside 5,500+ founders who've been through the same methodology.

Is Daniel Priestley involved in the programme?

Yes! Daniel is our CEO and Cofounder. He is one of the key minds behind every aspect of the KPI Accelerator. He occasionally runs workshops himself.
