Complete One acquire important networking connections at London business event

This past weekend, Complete One travelled to London to attend exclusive business conferences at the Hilton Bankside, where Managing Director Glen Lowes took advantage of the high-profile entrepreneurs and business owners in attendance to build his network. 

Complete One is an outsourced sales and marketing firm based in Newcastle. The firm regularly attends industry conferences and seminars, which provides tremendous networking opportunities for them. 

The award-winning entrepreneur urges young professionals to frequently connect and network with new people, allowing them to find coaches and mentors that are a good fit for them and the level of success they want to achieve. Mr. Lowes believes that the key to networking is to focus on quality over quantity. “It’s not about having a long list of people that you’ll never reconnect with. A successful network is small and valuable - your network needs to include people who will be valuable in assisting you on your road to success. Identify a number of individuals who can play a significant role in progressing your career,” commented Mr. Lowes.

The two-day event was divided into sections, with day 1 being for business investors, with delegates including award-winning entrepreneurs from all over the UK. The itinerary for the day included key business areas, covered by guest speakers who excel in those fields. The subjects covered included branding, recruitment, talent development, business scaling, and mentoring.

Day two was for a wider audience, with recruitment being the main point of focus. The administration team at Complete One was also in attendance. Held in the luxurious Bankside Ballroom, the seminar shone a spotlight on the evolution of recruitment, the impact of good branding and the ever-growing role that LinkedIn and Glassdoor currently plays.

After the events had come to a conclusion on day 2, attendees were invited to have drinks and connect. Mr. Lowes capitalised on the opportunity to converse with fellow professionals and build his network.

This is a massive first step towards the outsourced sales and marketing specialists achieving their goals for this year.

The early stage market research proved to be tremendously successful, and Complete One have used data and feedback to make a few small changes ahead of the official launch. “One of the keys to making a new campaign launch successful is identifying the right people to work on the project, and I am confident we have put together a group of our strongest contractors,” said Mr Lowes.

Complete One: The Power of Goal Setting

Managing Director at Complete One, Glen Lowes advocates the power of goal setting, and encourages budding entrepreneurs to set goals that keep them motivated. 

2016 was a record-breaking year at Complete One who exceeded the £1million turnover target.  The focus for 2017 is now firmly on growth.  “Last year we invested a lot of time into setting up a reliable infrastructure, concentrating on nurturing and developing the group of talented and ambitious individuals we work with.” Said Glen Lowes, Managing Director at Complete One.    Mr Lowes credits the progress at Complete One to goal setting.  The award-winning entrepreneur and business owner consistently sets new goals and argues that people should not underestimate the power of goal setting, particularly targets that encourage motivation. 

Mr Lowes has revealed the basics for effective goal setting as follows:

1. Specific
Setting specific goals is vital! It’s crucial to consider what you want to accomplish, what it will take to get there and vitally why you want to achieve that goal.  Mr Lowes believes that people fail to follow through with their goals because they are too vague.  “People who set vague goals never go anywhere.” Said Mr Lowes. 

2. Measurable
Measurable goals are imperative as it allows someone to track their progress.  If someone can see that they are improving then, it will motivate them to keep going. 

3. Attainable
For someone to stick to their goals, they have to believe that they can achieve it, claims Mr Lowes.  While it’s key that goals are exciting and motivating, Complete One's Managing Director, Glen Lowes, argues that people need to set goals that are both attainable and exciting. Boring goals are not motivating and will fail to inspire people to take action. 

4. Realistic
At Complete One they encourage their staff and contractors to dream big and set big goals. However, Mr Lowes reiterates the importance of making those goals realistic.   Goals that are too unrealistic will fall through.  It’s vital to start slow, take action, and keep moving forward claims Mr Lowes.  

5. Timely
Having a deadline will intensify focus and motivation.  Working under the constraints of a time limit will force you to produce results, fast.
  
When speaking about the company goals for 2017, Mr Lowes revealed his personal goals for the year, which are centred on developing his role as a mentor and coach.  “One of the greatest pleasures I get from being a business owner is playing a role in the career development of fellow professionals.  I am invested in the progress of the people I coach and mentor.  I gain a real sense of gratification in helping others to succeed, and this year I am committed to broadening my network.” Said Mr Lowes.

Complete One highlight the 6 differences between great and bad leaders

Newcastle-based, direct marketing and sales specialists, Complete One believe that strong leadership is the foundation for success in any area of life. Here they have highlighted the 6 differences between great and bad leaders.

Complete One believe that excelling in leadership will result in success. As an expanding company that frequently talent scout, one of the main transferable skills they look for is the ability to lead. Here, Complete One examines the 6 differences between great and bad leaders.
1. Great leaders see potential in people and can nurture it.
Bad leaders fail to identify potential, and instead only focus on the negative, and find fault.
2. Great leaders are always positive and encourage others to do better.
Bad leaders are negative, and are always blaming others for their failures rather than taking responsibility,
3. Great leaders motivate and inspire people to learn, grow and develop.
Bad leaders are only interested in their own progression; they aren’t concerned about the growth of others.
4. Great leaders have the ability to recognise people's strengths and place the best people in the right positions to help them perform well.
Bad leaders exploit people to the benefit of themselves.
5. Great leaders are open to new ideas and are always looking to innovate and improve.
Bad leaders fear change and are unwilling to take any risks.
6. Great leaders appreciate the efforts of their team and recognise and reward them for those efforts.
Bad leaders don’t value their team, and they have the attitude that every member of their team is replaceable.
