Complete One MD Glen Lowes flies out to LA for Reconnaissance Mission

Managing Director at Complete One, Glen Lowes flew out to LA last week to spend time with one of the leading sales and marketing professionals in the industry. 

Glen jetted out to Los Angeles to spend 5 days in the company of one of the most prominent professionals in direct sales and marketing industry.  The trip was planned back in May during the 2016 Black Tie Awards Gala in London where Glen received a prestigious accolade, picking up the 20/20 Overall Performance Award. 

Travelling over 5000 miles, during the 5-day trip Glen spent the majority of his time at a marketing agency in Orange Country, California.  California is the seventh biggest economy in the world, and the largest in the US.  With a population of 3 million, Orange County is a great location for recruitment due to its deep talent pool.  Glen got first hand experience of how the individual ran his business day to day, his schedule, critical conversations, motivational meetings, development workshops, and team building sessions.  It wasn’t all business though; Glen got to bask in the sunshine of Orange County, visiting Huntington Beach, as well as visiting other notable landmarks the OC had to offer.    

Glen is committed to continued personal development as he recognises that this is crucial to the success of Complete One.  He takes advantage of every opportunity to expand his network and to learn from fellow professionals.  During his time in LA he spent time with many budding entrepreneurs and business owners, and got to experience how the industry works in the US.  The trip allowed Glen to form new networking connections and solidify some he made at the Awards Gala. 

At Complete One they have big goals for 2016 as they look to extend their market reach into new cities and break the £1million turnover barrier.  The trip to LA provided great insight for Glen, getting to experience the habits and routine of someone who has experience of coaching and mentoring hundreds of entrepreneurs, overseeing over multiple offices and expansion into multiple cities and countries. 

“The trip proved to be a huge success and we have made plans to make it a quarterly event.  It’s always really constructive to experience how someone else operates, and having the chance to pick their brain.  I can’t wait to go back!” said Glen.
