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.

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.

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.
