Key People of Influence Avoid The Competition

Glen Carlson
Cofounder, Dent

It’s a common misconception that key people of influence are where they are because they are prepared to work harder. In actual fact, key people of influence are successful because they simply compete less than others.
Rather than benchmarking the competition, key people of influence find creative ways to make uncontested market space and to avoid the competition entirely.
In this video, I talk about how differentiating yourself and becoming a Key Person of Influence (KPI) is in fact anti-competitive and creates a market dynamic whereby your competition becomes irrelevant.

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.
