Complete One host workshop on maximising the 1440 minutes of every day

Newcastle-based outsourced sales and marketing firm, Complete One argue that effective time management is what separates those that achieve average results from the individuals that achieve extraordinary ones. This week the firm held a workshop on maximising the 1440 minutes of every day. 

Entrepreneur, business owner and Managing Director at Complete One, Glen Lowes, believes that providing ongoing education is the key to success. This week Mr Lowes hosted a company-wide workshop on maximising the 1440 minutes of every day.  

Mr Lowes believes that successful people know how to manage time and therefore are able to complete lots of tasks with the 24 hours everyone has. During the two-hour workshop, Mr Lowes shared his three top tips for effective time management.

1. Take responsibility and control

The first step to controlling time is taking responsibility for it. “You have to own your time and take responsibility for yourself and your actions,” said Mr Lowes. Complete One argue that many people complain about not having enough time, however, successful people have the same amount of time each day as those that are unsuccessful, they just use it wisely. Mr Lowes stated that, “time isn’t working against you; it’s meant to work for you.”

2. Work in time intervals

Complete One state that in order to maintain the motivation to pursue goals and maximise every hour of every day, it’s crucial to work in small time intervals. With people’s attention spans getting shorter, it might be necessary to work in focused intervals if needed. Complete One suggest working in 15 minuteintervals, giving a task complete concentration and if that’s too short, moving to 30 minute intervals.  “Do whatever it takes to be productive and accomplish your goals. Control your time don’t be consumed by it,” said Mr Lowes. 

3. Eliminate wasteful activities

The biggest consumer of time is pointless tasks that don’t contribute to the bigger picture claims Complete One. Mr Lowes encouraged the firm’s contractors to assess their schedule and to make a list of every activity they do on a daily basis that doesn’t help them to progress towards their goals. For example, for most people, social media or technology can prove to be incredibly distracting and wastes tremendous amounts of time. “By identifying the tasks that are not productive, and eliminating them it provides more time to focus on the tasks that count,” said Mr Lowes. 

“There is inevitably a link between time management and productivity.  If people want to achieve optimum productivity levels, they have to master their time first,” said Managing Director, Glen Lowes.

The entrepreneur and business owner argues that honesty is crucial in business. “Sometimes people won’t like what you have to say, but honest and constructive feedback is what will help people to develop.”

Complete One MD Takes Great Inspiration After Attending 3-Day Business Event

Following 12 months where the firm have experienced incredible success and expanded into 2 new locations, Managing Director at Complete One, Glen Lowes was invited to attend an exclusive 3-day business event in Birmingham.

Many of the UK's top business owners within the sales and marketing industry, as well as some of its rising stars, were invited to Birmingham which was the host city for this event.The event was scheduled over 3 days from 3rd to 5th of September.

The exclusive event boasted many guest speakers, some of which flew in especially.

The event was scheduled to gather together many of the UK's leaders in the sales and marketing industry, including Complete One. The primary objective was to teach and develop, but also to provide an environment for people to build new networking relationships as well as nurturing existing ones.Approaching the last financial quarter of the year it was a chance to see where everyone was at, reflect on what they have achieved to date and assess goals for the run up to the end of the year.

Day 1 was tailored to business owners that had experienced expansion.The purpose of the day was to provide advice and guidance on how to successfully expand a business and to ensure that any new offices being opened were being done so in the most effective and efficient way. With a firm strategy in place, business owners must ensure that they would have the best chance possible of succeeding.The guest speakers covered an array of topics including; the importance of spending time in new offices and having a hands-on approach in all expansions, learning how to rebound after setbacks as well as how to drive a business forward.

Day 2 was aimed at the business as a whole.One of the focal points was knowing when to go back to basics.The speaker stressed that sometimes people, not just in business, try and overcomplicate things when instead the best results tend to come from keeping it simple. Other subjects that were covered included setting targets and goals for development, driving sales and how to overcome factors that stop momentum.

The third day was more of a socialising event, with dinner and drinks at the Laurent-Perrier Champagne bar.

"I always feel incredibly fortunate whenever I am involved in events like the one in Birmingham.The topics covered, particularly on day 1, was incredibly relevant for myself and the company, as we will be looking to further expand the Complete One brand over the next 12 to 18 months.Having the opportunity to hear from guest speakers who are at the top of their game is very inspiring and I always come away from these events feeling motivated and inspired," said Managing Director at Complete One, Glen Lowes.
