Key Person of Influence (Revised Edition): The Five-Step Method to become one of the most highly valued and highly paid people in your industry

Product Information

I have followed the step-by-step framework in the book, and have made some dramatic shifts in how I conduct business. I've completely restructured my business, and discovered some amazing insights about my business and what I need to do. As a result of the book, I am also releasing my first book on digital strategy and online marketing later this year - entitled The Digital Delusion. http://www.digitaldelusion.info At the centre of every industry you will find an inner circle of people who are the most well known and highly valued people. They are the key people of influence (KPI). They:

A company can downsize functional people. A client can replace a functional supplier. An investor can put their money into something else that’s just as functional. Functional does the job, but functional is still interchangeable.

BASED ON THE PROVEN 5 STEP METHOD

People wanting to achieve success in their work, who define success as being highly respected and connected, well-paid and having lots of opportunities. People wanting to see their name in shining lights in their industry. I'd agree with what others have pointed out - that a lot of this material isn't "original" - it has been covered by others in part or in whole. I've read a lot of books in this genre and I do think though that Daniel created a very accessible, contemporary take on the idea, including plenty of original examples and a very neat and credible system for developing your own influence. Overall this is a fun, inspirational yet grounded summary of the KPI approach. It's professional development with a punch - skip the slogging it out with the crowd, and focus your efforts where they'll go a long way. This book is one of those that I consider to be a personal book of change. A fundamental shift in terms of how I look at things. In 2001 I read the E-Myth, I then left my job and went out and started a multinational franchise based business that became one of the Fastest Growing Businesses in Canada.

enjoy a special status in their chosen field because they are well known, well connected, well regarded and highly valued Time invested, qualifications and family money and connections are helpful but aren't what make a KPI.Suggest that you have a way of solving this problem and share your ideas freely.

If you see yourself working hard, take a break and read this book. It will give you a different frame of mind and a different way of doing things. We’d experienced good growth in the business. Our client numbers had been good, and our team kept growing. But after four years of working on the business, I still didn’t have the reach that I wanted, and I didn’t have any idea about how to make the type of impact that I wanted to make. I realised that we were spending so much time getting new clients all the time, and although our client numbers were growing, it seemed like an endless process and I wanted to be able to do so much more. There are always a few nuggets in anything you read. This book follows the common format of spending about a third of the book selling the book and then work to systematize the secrets of success in a five step formula. Though there are good fundamentals for those early in their career or taking the initial plunge into independent consulting or solopreneurship, I found much of the book to be very basic and to be centered on the quest to build a digital business leveraging many of the now-common tech and platform channels. Perhaps that is simply a reflection of the book's age as it was published in 2016. This book is perfect for you, if you want to understand how to present yourself better and become that ‘key person of influence’ in your sector. The workbook sections at the end of each chapter give you the opportunity to make notes and think more about your brand and what you are hoping to achieve.I've encountered a couple of comparable systems which are basically the same and I think that the KPI approach is simpler, comprehensive, and very positive in it's approach and values. For me, the most compelling parts of the book centered on the author's Ch. 1 discussion around functionality versus vitality as well as his approach around building a compelling pitch. His chapters on Product and Partnership wander a bit and may be too narrow for many to apply to their areas of focus. The section on building your Profile is pretty good but seems redundant to some of his earlier points. As a published author, I agree that a book can be a great project to undertake but I also know that it will be very difficult for many to actualize as it requires a real point of view to be meaningful and will almost never be a revenue generator by itself.
