Ep 32. InDent Become a Key Person of Influence

Glen Carlson

Cofounder, Dent

Welcome to the third episode of the InDent series a collection of shorter podcast episodes where I have a detailed look at sections of my business partner Daniel Priestley's book, Key Person of Influence, dissecting the core principles and philosophies that our business and many others are built on. If you're not already caught up, go ahead and check out episodes one and two before diving into this one.

In this installment, I'm getting into the real concept of what makes a Key Person of Influence. These are people whose names come up in conversation, who attract opportunity and earn more money. Most people think it takes decades of hard work, academic qualifications and good luck to become one of them. We've proven them wrong over the last six years with our Key Person of Influence Accelerator a programme that's been featured on the BBC, The Financial Times, Inc.com, The Huffington Post and Forbes, just to name a few.

So, go ahead and check out this episode if you're looking for a way to take your skills, talents, expertise and existing business, and accelerate that into the inner circle of your industry, creating cut-through, differentiation and a scalable business.

In this show I talk about:

  • Becoming a Key Person of Influence and stepping into the inner circle of your industry

  • How to have more income mobility by becoming the type of person that gets closer to the top

  • Steps someone takes to making an exponential increase in their earning

  • How making small shifts has helped certain people to find themselves in the top 1% of their industry in under 12 months

  • Insights into representing yourself as a key person of influence at events

  • The five questions to uncovering a Key Person of Influence

  • Outlining the explicit five-step method that builds clarity, credibility, scale, transparency and commercial viability

  • The Key Person of Influence methodology across all industries

  • The five things that you need to have in place to demonstrate that you're a key person of influence

  • How to turn your service business into something that can be scaled quite rapidly

  • Why having visibility online is crucial to becoming a Key Person of Influence

  • Using both social media and traditional media to create a powerful online presence

Your Questions Answered

You can also find out more detail on our Methodology on our next webinar.

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.
