In a crowded market, having a great product may no longer be enough. Entrepreneur and bestselling author Daniel Priestley believes one of the biggest advantages a business can build today is being known.
Priestley, co-founder of Dent Global and ScoreApp, has spent years helping entrepreneurs become what he calls a “Key Person of Influence” in their industry. His message has become even more relevant in 2026 as businesses compete for attention in an increasingly crowded digital world.
Priestley argues that attention is now one of the hardest things for businesses to earn. A company can have an exceptional product or service, but without visibility, the right customers may never discover it.But being known isn't about chasing millions of followers.
His approach focuses on becoming highly visible and highly valued within the right market. Through publishing, building authority, developing a strong profile and forming strategic partnerships, entrepreneurs can position themselves as the obvious choice in their field. That distinction offers an important lesson for business owners. Visibility isn't simply a social media metric. When paired with genuine expertise and a strong business behind it, it can create trust, demand and new opportunities.
As Priestley puts greater emphasis on personal brands and attention in 2026, his message is clear: being great at what you do matters, but making sure the right people know about it may matter just as much.
