Book Review:Key Person of Influence By Daniel Priestly

Key Person of Influence is a book by Daniel Priestley that outlines a framework for building a successful personal brand and becoming a thought leader in your industry. The central idea of the book is that successful people are not just talented or skilled, but also have the ability to influence others and create value for the people around them.

According to Priestley, following his KPI Method can help you become a Key Person of Influence in your industry within a year. However, the key to success is identifying a specific micro-niche within your industry that you can dominate. This requires crafting a pitch that clearly communicates your passion, authority, and value proposition for this micro-niche, and being able to deliver it effectively in both social and formal settings.

Key Person of Influence outlines a method for becoming a “key person of influence” (KPI) in your industry or field. According to Priestley, there are five key elements to the KPI method:

1. The Perfect Pitch: Key People of Influence are able to clearly and compellingly describe what they do and the value they provide to others.
2. Publish Content: Key People of Influence create and publish content, such as blogs, articles, reports, and books, to get their message out to the world.
3. Product Ecosystems: Key People of Influence turn their skills, talent, and ideas into products that people want to buy, rather than just trading time for money. They create a “product ecosystem” that generates income anytime and anywhere.
4. Raise Your Profile: To be a Key Person of Influence, you need to stand out and be recognized as an expert in your field. This means raising your profile and being visible online, as well as in your industry or community.
5. Partner with Performers: Key People of Influence work with other high performers in order to achieve more together. They understand that nothing great is ever achieved in isolation, and they create opportunities to collaborate and succeed as a team.

In conclusion, Key Person of Influence provides a framework for building a successful personal brand and becoming a thought leader in your industry. By following this approach, you can stand out, attract opportunities, and accelerate your success.
