Complete One Host ‘Think and Grow Rich’ Workshop

Sales and marketing experts Complete One have recently been discussing how success depends on professionals being able to visualise their goals and create a plan towards them.

Event marketing and promotions specialists Complete One recently hosted a training workshop at their Newcastle office. The theme of the 90-minute workshop was on the concept of ‘think and grow rich’. Topics covered included; organised planning, imagination, desire and persistence.

A workshop defined as ‘a meeting at which a group of people engage in intensive discussion and activity on a particular subject or project’ is extremely beneficial to the professional and personal development of individuals.

Managing Director of Complete One, Glen Lowes, outlined that an essential part of thinking and growing ‘rich’ is goal setting. The MD highlighted that the first stage of goal setting is visualisation, which helps to create the motivation that pushes a person forward to succeed. Mr Lowes explained how important it is to move past the visualisation stage because many people get stuck dreaming about what they want and never actually take the necessary actions needed to achieve it.

Glen Lowes stressed that visualisation does not guarantee someone success because it is not enough just to visualise something; a person must still work hard and dedicate their time towards achieving the goal. But combined with hard work and effort, visualisation is a powerful and useful tool for turning dreams into reality.

Complete One’s Glen Lowes talks personal branding at industry conference

Managing Director at Complete One Glen Lowes was among an exclusive set of keynote speakers selected to address attendees at an industry conference this past weekend, with Mr Lowes speaking about personal branding.

Held at the Hilton Newcastle Gateshead on Sunday February 12th, sales and marketing professionals from all over the UK had travelled to Newcastle to attend the event.

Building a personal brand is something that Glen has been focusing on since his trip to LA last year. During the transatlantic journey, Mr Lowes spent time shadowing two high profile entrepreneurs and business owners within the sales and marketing industry, and one of his biggest takeaways from that trip was the importance of building a personal brand. Upon his return, he made it his mission to start building his own brand.

The strides Mr Lowes has made in this area in recent months haven’t gone unnoticed, with the entrepreneur and business owner being invited to speak on the subject at an industry conference. “One of my biggest passions is sharing my expertise and knowledge with others, helping to advise and guide people on their entrepreneurial journey and watching them make the transition from budding entrepreneur to successful business owner,” said Mr Lowes.

Attendees comprised of rookie sales and marketing professionals, as well as more experienced entrepreneurs and business owners. As well as information and advice on personal branding, there was a host of other guest speakers at the event, each speaking on a specialist subject. Guest speakers on the day included award-winning entrepreneurs and business owners from all over the UK.

The attendees were separated into two groups, depending on their development level. The itinerary for group one included business basics, goal setting, developing a winning mentality, mastering the art of sales, business development and fast-tracking the road to success.

Group two heard from speakers on topics including; how to build an A-team, coaching and mentoring, how to run successful business trips, the importance of building a personal brand, what it takes to be an entrepreneur, and the difference between being a leader and a boss.

Mr Lowes frequently attends industry events and has a number of upcoming speaking engagements.

Complete one share their ultimate guide to networking

The experienced business owner, entrepreneur and Managing Director at Complete One, Glen Lowes attributes much of his success to his diverse and influential network of fellow professionals, and he encourages people to utilise all networking opportunities to build their connections. 

At Complete One, their staff and contractors have the opportunity to attend many industry conferences and seminars, providing them with the chance to network.  The direct marketing specialists have shared their ultimate guide to networking. 

1) Take your business cards

Although this may seem quite basic, offering a business card is an excellent way to pass on your information, and it will often be an exchange with the connector providing their business card.  “Business cards were something I never used to bother with, however, this year I decided to bite the bullet, and the feedback I get has made it something I never leave the office without.  It doesn’t have to be an expensive option either; there are many cost-effective sites to create your own. 

2) Have a great handshake

"For me, there is nothing more off-putting than a bad handshake," said Mr Lowes.  A handshake is like a first impression, and you only get one chance to get it right.   Mr Lowes argues that a good handshake is firm, memorable, and has eye contact. 

3) Have an 'elevator' pitch ready

An elevator pitch should be kept short and concise.  In approximately 90 seconds you should be able to convey information about yourself, explain what you do and where you work, who your clients are (if you have any), and your goals for the future. Mr Lowes encourages people to practice their elevator pitch, so they can use it whenever necessary. 

4) Build relationships

Mr Lowes believes it is important to get to know people on both a personal and professional level and that it is important to build relationships.  “Don't expect overnight miracles, it takes time for people to develop confidence in you and you need to invest time into those relationships to reap the benefits.” Said Mr Lowes.  

5) Quality over quantity

Mr Lowes firmly believes that a good network is one that consists of quality connections rather than volume.  “Make sure you assemble a diverse and quality network of individuals who can progress your business development.  While it can be tempting to acquire as many connections as possible, it is important to make sure people you connect with serve a purpose."

Complete One is an award-winning events promotions firm based in the heart of Newcastle City Centre.  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 his advice and knowledge to budding entrepreneurs, encouraging them to network and build connections.

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.
