• Why Your Business Needs To Be Irresistible with Daniel Priestley

  Why Your Business Needs To Be Irresistible with Daniel Priestley | Business Growth PodcastIn this episode of the Business Growth Podcast, host James Vincent sits down with bestselling author, entrepreneur, and thought leader Daniel Priestley at Sky Studios. Daniel has built, scaled, and sold companies across the world, and his books Key Person of Influence, Oversubscribed, and Entrepreneur Revolution have influenced thousands of entrepreneurs.This isn’t theory, it’s real-world experience. Daniel shares why many business owners work harder than ever yet earn less, and how rethinking productivity, branding, and team structures can change everything.“People don’t buy what you do. They buy the assessment that shows them the path of least resistance from where they are to where they want to be.” — Daniel PriestleyWhat You’ll Discover in This Episode- Why fun is a biological signal of productivity and how teams can use it to unlock creativity.- How personal branding has become 20x more powerful than company branding in today’s market.- Why scorecard marketing is the next big thing (and how to use it in both sales and recruitment).- The difference between teams and talent—and why high-performance companies are built around a small group of extraordinary people.- How AI has already changed recruitment and business models—and why every business must adapt or risk being left behind.- The simple frameworks for scaling: the 2-person scout team, 4-person firestarter team, 8-person core team, and 30-person performance team.- Why finding unmet needs in your market can unlock explosive growth.- Why live events, from private dinners to webinars, still outperform pre-recorded content in building trust and authority.Highlights from the ConversationDaniel explains why the old “work harder” mantra doesn’t work anymore:“Productivity isn’t coming from labour. It’s coming from insights, technology, and connecting the dots. If you’re only working hard, you’re not even playing the right game.”On building a personal brand:“For 10 years I built other people’s brands. Then I realised the future belongs to those who step into the spotlight. You need to be a key person of influence in your industry if you want to attract real talent.”On AI disruption:“The business you had in 2025 is dead. You must reinvent around AI—speed to value is everything now.”On scorecard marketing:“Don’t sell the treatment plan. Sell the assessment first. Doctors don’t start with surgery—they start with the scan. Businesses should too.”On scaling with small teams:“An 8-person team today can do what used to take hundreds. With the right leverage and tech, small groups can create seven figures in profit.”On unmet needs:“Touch the raw nerve and you can have one year that pays for the whole decade. Most businesses exist, but the ones that explode are the ones solving a problem no one else has cracked.”🎙 Powered by ActionCOACH Business CoachingThe help you need to grow your business:👉 https://business.actioncoach.co.uk📺 Sponsored by AdSmart from SkyGrow your business through the power of TV advertising:👉 https://www.adsmartfromsky.co.uk Hosted on Acast.
