Are you living up to the responsibility you have to your customers?

For a business to maintain their customer-centricity, direct sales and marketing firm Complete One recommends business owners to evaluate the contribution they are making to consumers on a daily basis.

Complete One are confident that all aspects of a business need to face their responsibility to consumers. In a customer-focused business model, it is important that each department is in tune with the company's overarching brand message, and ensure that their individual processes reiterate the message to offer a consistent service throughout every consumer touch point. Consumers are all about the ‘brand experience,' and this can be a fundamental reason why businesses are struggling to establish brand loyalty.

Complete One offers a five-step guide to developing a stronger customer-centric business:

1.    Complete One believes corporate goals can be a quick initial step to draw attention to consumer contribution. Once the goal has been set, it is important to communicate it throughout the business, and it can be beneficial to occasionally share this with the consumer.

2.    Complete One advises businesses to create accountability throughout all departments by requesting information on how precisely they contributed to the customer experience on a specific day. Use the feedback from these results to gauge the effectiveness of current processes, and offer

additional support where needed.

3.    Follow-up is crucial, and it is important to offer simple meetings that focus on consumer contributions. Use these meetings to brainstorm how to streamline processes, as it is important to always take the perspective of the buyer.

4.    Gather market research on consumer desires. Complete One suggests that businesses should ensure that they are developing strategies on exactly what the customer wants, as opposed to what the company wants the consumer to want.

5.    Share the news when the company is getting it spot on, or making progress towards a customer experience goal.  Social Media platforms are perfect for bragging.

2016 has already seen some key business changes announced by the UK government which have had a severe impact on the future of some UK businesses. Moving deeper into the second half of 2016, there will be many more changes happening that businesses need to be aware of that could severely affect business stability, future prospects and profits. Complete One warns businesses that they need to be aware and prepared for more changes including:

The increase of the National Living Wage - In April, 2016, the National Living Wage was increased to £7.20 per hour, which has resulted in a lot of businesses (large and small) having to budget for these changes. Small businesses will have been hit harder because of the limited resources to go around fairly.

Dividend tax regime - Businesses don’t have to pay tax on the first £5,000 of dividends, but new rates have been announced for dividends over that threshold.

Brexit - The UK’s decision to leave the EU in June 2016 will have reverberations on UK businesses because there will be significant changes to trade deals and the UK economy will be in a state of unpredictability due to the level of uncertainty surrounding Britain’s economy.

Visa Debit fees - Changes to the way that Visa Debit fees are calculated will come into force in September 2016.

Complete One Reviews why Rafa Benitez will guide Newcastle United to promotion

With their headquarters just minutes away from St James’ Park, Newcastle-based events promotions firm, Complete One have a keen interest in the fortunes of Newcastle United. The firm are passionate about sport and coaching. Here the firm have revealed why they believe Rafa Benitez will guide Newcastle United to promotion and back into the English Premier League (EPL). 

Newcastle is a city that lives and breathes football. The relegation from the EPL was a bitter pill to swallow, however with Rafa Benitez signing on to take charge of the club for a second season, Complete One believes that he will be the man to steer the firm to promotion. 

At Complete One they are a company dedicated to the development of the people they work with. They offer coaching and mentoring to allow their contractors to learn, grow and develop. As a firm with a keen interest in coaching, they are taking great interest in the plight of Newcastle United under the guidance of renowned coach, Rafa Benitez. 

Benitez joined Real Madrid’s coaching staff at just 26, where he went on to work as the Under 19’s and Reserve Team’s coach and Assistant Manager for the First Team. After Real Madrid’s Benitez had management spells at Real Valladolid and Osasuna - which were both short lived - Benitez guided the second division side, Extremadura back to the first division in his first season in charge. After a not so successful second season, Benitez went on to coach Tenerife in 2000, winning a promotion in his only season. It was back in his homeland that Benitez began to gain notoriety and after being appointed coach of Valencia, he won La Liga in the 2001-02 season and again in 2004, along with a UEFA Cup victory cementing himself as one of the top managers in Spain.   

After his success in La Liga, Benitez moved to Liverpool where his most notable achievement was guiding the side to a momentous Champions League victory in 2005. He was named the UEFA Manager of the Year for two consecutive seasons. During his time at Liverpool he also won the FA Cup in 2006 and reached the Champions League Final again in 2007. His best result in the EPL was in the 2008-2009 season when Liverpool clinched second place.    

Rafa Benitez is a coach with a strong CV and a history of winning. He also has experience in promotion battles and MD at Complete One; Glen Lowes believes that this will stand him in good stead to get Newcastle United back into the EPL. “It’s going to be an exciting season, Newcastle United have failed to live up to the fans’ expectations for many years now. However with Benitez at the helm I am quietly confident that the side will regain their place in the EPL next season,” said Glen Lowes.  

Complete One is an award-winning events promotions firm based in the heart of Newcastle City Centre. Since they launched in 2012 they have extended their market reach into Glasgow, Edinburgh and Sheffield. Their expertise lies in increasing market share and raising brand awareness for their clients, through face-to-face promotional marketing and sales campaigns at events and venues throughout the North East.  Managing Director Glen Lowes is passionate about coaching and he offers budding entrepreneurs the chance to network and learn by sharing his experience and providing advice and guidance. 

Complete One Examines the Bizarre Rise of Presenteeism

After a new report revealed that in the UK, the number of people ‘faking the extent of their workloads’ is rising. Complete One has investigated the bizarre trend and delved into the reasons behind this Presenteeism.

A new study revealed that it has become common practice for many people in the UK to work more hours than actually required. In fact, according to a YouGov poll commissioned by global technology company Ricoh, 67 percent of 18 to 26 year olds have confessed to staying late at work after their contracted hours. In other words, over 1.1 million young professionals in the UK fake the amount of their workload. Direct marketing firm Complete One insists that this extent of presenteeism costs businesses a lot of money, however it could be avoided by looking at the reasons why people prefer to stay at work longer than necessary and evaluating current opportunities.

Research also reveals that 39 percent of 18 to 26 years olds feel that working away from the office could have a negative impact on their career progression. In addition to that, 41 percent of young professionals replied that they are under the impression that their bosses favour workers who stay longer at work. “Of course working extra time shows commitment to the company,” says Complete One. “However, it is important to understand why the work load is impossible to manage in the required hours. Productivity doesn’t necessarily increase when staying longer,” adds a spokesperson of Complete One. Working long hours can lead to burnout, stress and loss of motivation; all of which are productivity killers.

The firm believes that in order to manage presenteeism effectively, businesses need to leave the old-fashioned work etiquette behind and start thinking outside the box. Complete One urges businesses to become more flexible and create opportunities in line with performance rather than just presence.

Based in Newcastle Upon Tyne, Complete One is one of the fastest growing outsourced sales and marketing companies in the North East of the country. In order to eliminate presenteeism and continuously achieve business growth, the firm focuses on offering plenty of opportunities to their contractors to shine and develop their skills. Complete One provides guidance and support and helps their contractors to improve their time management skills and maintain momentum, allowing them to obtain a healthier work-life balance.

With big goals in mind for the remaining year, Complete One is looking to extend their market reach into four new cities and break the £1 million turnover barrier.

Consistency is the key to success claims Complete One

Newcastle-based event promotions firm, Complete One believes that consistency is key to success. With the firm’s MD picking up an award at the 2016 Sales and Marketing Awards Gala, for the fourth consecutive year being among the award winners, the firm shares their top tips for remaining consistent.

Events and Promotions specialists Complete One are constantly striving to achieve a consistent service. By placing emphasis in this sometimes overlooked area in business, it can really strengthen a brand’s image. Glen Lowes, MD of Complete One proves his ability to deliver consistency in business as he collects his fourth award in four consecutive years. Glen Lowes has really started to make a name for himself at the annual Sales and Marketing Awards, and over the years he has picked up the ‘20/20 Performance Award’ which is for overall performance. This award is recognition for the great results Complete One has achieved over the last year which includes growing their client portfolio and extending their market reach. This is the fourth year in a row that Glen Lowes has won this award, illustrating the tremendous consistency of success at Complete One.

As a leading example of consistency in business, Glen Lowes shares his best 3 tips:

1/ Use a morning ritual. Setting the tone for the day is key for business. Whether it’s a morning run, a meditation session or reading a business blog, entrepreneurs should make a step towards achieving a personal goal each morning. “Get it done before the working day starts,” advises Glen Lowes.

2/ Do things even if you don’t feel like it. Understanding the importance of accountability will assist in completing tasks in a timely matter.  On days where motivation is lower than usual it is important to understand why the task is so important to the bigger picture. A task always seems less daunting once it’s started.

3/ Find and do what you love or like to do. Figure out what is important personally.  Find a cause that holds personal passion. “Work doesn’t seem like work, if you are striving to achieve a goal that holds personal significance,” explains MD Glen Lowes. Choose projects carefully to assist in building the consistency that will take personal development to the next level.

Complete One inspired by Leicester City’s Premier League win

At the beginning of the 2015/2016 Premier League season, Leicester City were a staggering 5000/1 bet to win.  However, after the 2-2 draw between Chelsea and Tottenham on May 2nd , the underdogs clinched the title.  Newcastle-based event marketing firm, Complete One has been inspired by the Leicester City Story, and used it as motivation.   

From 5000/1 outsiders to champions with two matches to spare, the Leicester City story is one of the most remarkable in Premier League history; and a feat that will unlikely be repeated anytime soon.  Highlighting just how inconceivable the Leicester City story is, the odds for Elvis being found alive were 2500/1, and the Loch Ness monster being found was 1500/1.  It is 21 years since any team out of the so called “big clubs” (Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester City or Manchester United) have won the top-flight title. The dominance of the big clubs has been down to financial investments, and the constraints of others. English football has become a big-money business with billions of pounds being invested from TV deals, the latest of which is worth £5.136 billion (www.bbc.co.uk) and a continued increased spend from clubs in every transfer window.  It was considered unthinkable that any team could break the dominance of the traditional elite clubs, however Leicester certainly defied financial logic.

Managing Director at Complete One, Glen Lowes was inspired by the Leicester City story and used it as inspiration for one of the company’s morning meetings.  During the meeting Glen Lowes outlined all the things that were supposedly more likely to happen, and reinforced the fact that their win was proof that teamwork, dedication and hard work can overcome anything. “I am a massive football fan and Leicester City’s win was such a great result for the world of football, showing that in a very money driven time, hard work, determination and an unstoppable team spirit can overcome the odds. ”

Complete One is a young, ambitious and dynamic outsourced sales and marketing company, specialising in customer acquisition through in-person promotions.  Their expertise lies in increasing market share and raising brand awareness through face-to-face promotional marketing and sales campaigns, at high profile events and venues.  In a world of ever advancing technologies, the firm offers their clients something that is often lacking in today’s digital world, the personal touch.  In the highly competitive marketing industry, Complete One always promotes the importance of a strong work ethic, desire to succeed and working as a team.  The once in a lifetime Leicester City story is inspirational and Complete One are using that story to inspire and motivate their contractors to succeed. 

Complete One host workshop on forming good habits

Event marketing specialists, Complete One, have been focused on forming good habits in order to meet their projected goals for this year, and last week the firm hosted an educational workshop on the subject. 

2015 was a record-breaking year for Complete One. It saw the firm extend their market reach into Glasgow and Sheffield, and add two new clients to their portfolio, both household names in their respective fields, as well as receiving accolades at the 2015 Sales & Marketing Awards. The Newcastle-based event promotions specialists have big goals for 2016 as they look to extend their market reach into four new cities, and break the £1 million turnover barrier. Now in Q2, Managing Director Glen Lowes is focusing on habits, in order to boost productivity and output, which in turn will take the firm closer to their goals.   

It is a common belief that it takes 21 days to form a habit and Glen Lowes, Managing Director at Complete One supports that theory. “Coming from a construction background, making the transition from a manual laborer to an entrepreneur in the sales and marketing industry wasn’t easy. There were many new skills I had to learn and habits I had to form in order to progress my career.”

At Complete One they believe that continued learning is imperative for business success, and this is a philosophy that the innovative, and rapidly expanding firm shares with their contractors. Last week, Glen Lowes hosted a workshop on habits, and how to successfully form new ones that will stick. 

1. Make it a daily occurrence – In order for a habit to stick, consistency is critical. Activities that are done only once every few days are much harder to lock in as habits, whereas if the activity is carried out daily it has more chance of becoming a habit. 

2. Start small – When trying to make a change, it can be easy to take on too much. Rather than getting bogged down with too many tasks, which will wear someone thin, the key to making a change is to take on one task at a time.

3. Be consistent – Consistency is the driving force of success. If someone is consistent in their attempts to form new habits, their success rate is likely to be much higher. 

4. Write it down – Having a visual reminder can prove to be very powerful.  By writing something down it makes an idea clearer and easier to focus on the end result.

5.Make it personal – The habits should be personal and assist in someone achieving their goals. Trying to form habits that are considered important, but not necessarily relevant will not stick. Habits should be geared towards an individual’s goals and the things that motivate them.

The most successful people have formed positive habits, which contribute to their success, and MD at Complete One, Glen Lowes has formed many of his own habits, which helps him to grow and prosper as an entrepreneur and business owner. 

Newcastle-based event marketing firm, Complete One are currently focusing on the formation of good habits and it is something they have made a theme for the week. As a firm that is committed to the development of the people they work with, constantly providing educational opportunities to further their business development is an integral part of their success.
