Complete One How We're Helping to Create Entrepreneurs, Not Small Business Owners

All too often people confuse entrepreneurs and small business owners; Complete One has shared how they are playing a part in creating a new wave of entrepreneurs and adding significant value to the world of business innovation.   

As a nation, we are becoming fixated on labelling anyone who is involved in business as an entrepreneur.  A small Business Owner and an entrepreneur are in fact two single unrelated titles.  With vast research centred around traits and characteristics of an entrepreneur, the title is belonging more to an individual who is always on the lookout for more. More knowledge, more expertise and more wealth.  Whereas a small business owner instead, is often focussing on developing customer solutions and creating a sustainable business model. They do this through methodical practices centred around the sustainability of the business model. 

Entrepreneurship can be classified as a lifestyle as opposed to a career choice.  With high correlations between behaviours and often isn't considered an option, instead of an innate thought process.  Entrepreneurs are measured on their creativity, risk taking the excitement and their ability to shape or future through change.  As a society, Complete One entrepreneurial supporters believe it is time to disassociate the two entities to ensure that each party is offered the correct support to reach their potential. 

Complete One is one of the fastest growing sales and event marketing firms in the North East and is experts in helping businesses boost their ROI and gain a positive reputation on the market. Through face to face consumer communication, the firm can aid their clients in understanding each customer as an individual and works with them to provide a personalised service which encourages greater brand loyalty. 

Through their tailored business development opportunity, Complete One can contribute mentoring opportunities to the North East's entrepreneurs.  Glen Lowes is keen to offer support and guidance to ensure entrepreneurial capabilities are surrounded by an environment which encourages creativity and organic situations which allow risk taking abilities to be tested and rewarded.  The firm has assisted many successful entrepreneurs across the country.  They can establish themselves in the business world through the company's vast network of sales and marketing specialists.  The firm also boasts an impressive database of clients, and Complete One have become a firm favourite with big brand company’s due to their diverse range of human resources, and commitment to developing innovative and winning campaigns.

Complete One Discover Self-Confidence as the Most Important Trait for Success

Newcastle-based event promotions specialists Complete One have vast experience coaching and mentoring different types of individuals, and the one trait they have found to be most important for achieving success is self-confidence.

Since their launch in 2012, Complete One have extended their market reach across the UK into Edinburgh, Glasgow, Sheffield and York. Throughout that time, Managing Director Glen Lowes has gained experience working with and mentoring many people, and he has determined self-confidence to be one of the most important traits for success. Complete One have shared their ‘how to’ guide to help people boost their self-confidence. 

1. Think positive

Self-confidence is a state of mind, claims Complete One, and the firm argue that changing thoughts changes results, “a positive mind attracts positive results. Retraining your brain to let go of any negativity and focus on the positives can pay dividends,” said Mr. Lowes. 

2. Eliminate negativity

The most confident people can eliminate all negative influences, allowing them to maintain and achieve a confidence in their own ability to complete tasks. Complete One argue that negative thoughts and insecurities affect everyone, but it’s how they deal with them that differentiates the successful from the unsuccessful. 

3. Focus on personal growth

At Complete One they are passionate about development, and through on-going coaching and mentoring - as well as educational and motivational workshops and seminars - the firm helps their staff and contractors to learn, grow and develop, both personally and professionally. 

4. Dress for success

Complete One promote the idea that you should dress for the position you want, not for the position you’re in, and the firm encourages people to dress to impress. “No matter what level you're at, it’s important to dress for success. When you look good, you feel good and that boosts confidence too,” said Mr. Lowes. 

5. Be prepared

Preparation is one of the most important elements for confidence, claims Complete One. Preparation gives people confidence in their abilities to perform. At Complete One they often refer to the famous quote by Benjamin Franklin – ‘by failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail’.

6. Set small, achievable goals

Most people lose confidence in themselves because they set themselves up for failure by setting goals that are out of reach. Complete One encourage people to focus on small, achievable goals. “The more someone achieves their goals the more confidence they will gain,” said Mr. Lowes. 

7. Empower yourself with knowledge

“Knowledge is power and the more you know the further you can go,” said Mr. Lowes. Complete One contends that empowering yourself is one of the best strategies for building self-confidence. The event-marketing specialists believe that becoming more knowledgeable will simultaneously boost confidence. 

At Complete One, they take great pride in having a nurturing working environment where they help people to expand their knowledge and skillset and boost their confidence, setting them up for future success.

Complete One is one of the fastest growing direct sales and marketing companies in the North East. The firm specialises in customer acquisition through event-based marketing campaigns.

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 is a dynamic outsourced sales and marketing company that specialises in customer acquisitions through in-person promotions. The firm connects with consumers on a face-to-face basis on behalf of their clients’ brand in order to generate long-lasting and personal business relationships between brand and consumer. This helps the firm to deliver increased customer acquisition, brand awareness and brand loyalty for their clients.

The firm chose to discuss the concept of visualisation with the contractors to help with their professional development. The company is committed to investing in the development of others; Managing Director, Glen Lowes spends much of his time developing the skill set of young entrepreneurs through regular workshops and training seminars. “I am passionate about helping to inspire the future generation of professionals. One of the best things about owning my company is being able to help individuals to achieve their goals,” stated Managing Director, Glen Lowes.

Complete One Host Second Annual Future Business Owners Retreat

Managing Director at Complete One Glen Lowes has hailed the success of the firm’s annual Future Business Owners Retreat, held this year at Piperdam Golf & Leisure Resort in the idyllic Scottish countryside. 

The inaugural future business owners retreat, previously held at Felmoor Park in Northumberland, proved to be such a tremendous success that Mr Lowes decided to make it a yearly event in the company’s calendar.

Complete One now have market reach in Edinburgh, Glasgow, Sheffield, and York and the purpose of the retreat was to bring together the top performers and rising stars within those markets. Over the course of the weekend, the goal was to provide them with the opportunity to expand their knowledge and skillset, progress their business development, connect with like-minded individuals - all the while relaxing, unwinding and having fun.

Award winning event marketing specialists Complete One believe much of their success is due to their continued investment in the people they work with, and commitment to offering opportunities for people to develop both personally and professionally. The Future Business Owners Retreat is a chance for Complete One to recognise the individuals who are consistently performing at a high level and are considered rising stars of the future.

Piperdam was selected as the location for this year’s retreat because of the variety of activities it caters for, as well as the incredible accommodation. Mr Lowes booked the 4-Star Vegas lodges. Each lodge housed a balcony, fully equipped kitchen, flat screen TV’s, snooker table (¾ size), roulette and card games, private hot tub and sauna.

The three-day retreat kicked off with a relaxed evening of quizzes and games, allowing people time to arrive and settle in. The Saturday was a mixture of business and pleasure. There were a number of business workshops scheduled with guest speakers covering topics covered including; going the extra mile, how to build a business, and the importance of urgency. There were surprise guest speakers who appeared via Skype who are two of the most prominent individuals within the sales and marketing industry in the UK and US. On Saturday evening, Mr Lowes hosted a James Bond, Casino Royale theme night. On Sunday attendees had the chance to explore the grounds of Piperdam and use the leisure facilities. The retreat ended on Sunday night with a special dinner at a secret location, specifically for the business owners in the group.

One of the biggest benefits of the weekend is the fact it allows attendees to forge new relationships and grow their network. Complete One argue that in business, having a vast and diverse networking portfolio is tremendously important. “Being an entrepreneur is a solo journey, however, having people to rely on and to ask for advice and guidance is imperative,” said Mr Lowes.

Complete One is an outsourced sales and marketing firm based in Newcastle. The company specialises in raising brand awareness, and increasing market share for their client's through personalised and interactive event marketing campaigns. "The retreat was a huge success, and I can't wait to start planning next year's," said Mr Lowes.

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.

Complete One complete proud sponsor of Newcastle Falcons player Sonatane Takulua

Complete One is delighted to announce the confirmed sponsorship of rugby union player, Sonatane Takulua, who is playing for the Newcastle Falcons.

Managing Director, Glen Lowes a huge Falcons fan was thrilled with the signing, which was a no-brainer deal for the local businessman who wanted to help contribute to the local economy. Only being a short trip away from Kingston Park stadium, the sponsorship deal further signifies Complete One’s favourableconnection to the city of Newcastle.

Sonatane Takulua is one of the most exciting players in the Aviva Premiership. In 2015 he was picked for Tonga’s fifteen-man Rugby World Cup squad, which was a dream come true for the Pacific Islander. The Newcastle Falcons signed Takulua from New Zealand side, Blues in 2014 and since then he has been a formidable force for the Falcons playing at scrum half.  Newcastle may be a long way from his homeland of Tonga but Sonatane Takulua has more than settled into the Geordie lifestyle, and Complete One hopes to be a part of his sporting career for a long time to come.

The partnership between Complete One and Takulua is a special and unique one. Being a Newcastle-based firm, Glen Lowes states; “we all rally around and support the Falcons, watching all the games together as a team. It brings the workforce closer together, boosting morale.” Creating a partnership between activities and business is a great combination that allows for team building and bonding, the latter being a prerequisite for building.

Bonding is the process of forming personal, friendly relationships between one another. when a comfortable bond forms between colleagues, team building will take its natural state, and the company will only enhance in its progress and productivity.  Glen Lowes has expressed the importance of positive and strong bonds within the workplace; “research has confirmed that a friendly, fun working environment increases productivity for not just the individual but the company as a whole.”

In 2016 Complete One broke the £1million turnover barrier, and now in 2017, the primary focus is to expand the Complete One brand and extend a market reach throughout the UK. As a direct marketing company specialising in below line customer acquisition, Complete One’s primary focus is to bridge the gap between client and consumers using events based marketing campaigns. Creatingpersonalised, tailor-made marketing strategies that guarantee high ROI is a quality that is highly sought after by brands. Having such successful sportsmen such as Sonatane Takulua on their side not only emphasises Complete One’s sense of togetherness within the team and its clients but also help to enhance the company’s relationship with its local city of Newcastle.
