Will interviews the president & CEO of Tri-Star, Pavel Konency, about himself and his new position. Pavel grew up in the Czech Republic where he was going to school for engineering. Pavel also played tennis and was learning English at the time, which ended up leading him to Northwood University in Midland, MI. He ended up going for Business Management while playing tennis for the school in 1992. Pavel originally didn't have a plan to go into banking and finance, but he had a knack for numbers. He had a long career at Chemical Bank where the possibility of becoming CFO was tossed around. Some changes took place, and his path didn't become as clear as it once was. The co-founders of Tri-Star eventually reached out to talk about a potential plan for him to lead within five years.As a leader, Pavel makes it a point to invest in younger employees. He claims a rewarding part of his job is to watch someone grow while sharing wisdom and knowledge and giving them opportunities. When looking for potential employees, Pavel looks for soft skills along with technical skills, which a lot of younger employees proved to have. While Tri-Star is growing, Pavel comments they made it a point to expand in areas that attract people to downtown development. With locations such as the Saginaw and Midland office, there is opportunity to grab lunch at a small sandwich place or shop at local boutiques. Pavel also helps make sure the office environment is somewhere employees want to be rather than working from home. In his new position, Pavel is looking forward to continuing community involvement, creating value, and investing in futures while teaching about financial health.Connect with Pavel here:https://www.tristartrust.com/

Starting the next dance craze is not an easy task. I looked into it and studied all the angles. My spirit got broken though after many friends pointed out that though my intentions of making one happen may be pure, eventually, the line dance crowd would appropriate it.   "Wait. People still line dance?" "Yes," I was informed. "And now they do it to Kid Rock." That killed whatever idea I had for trying to get a new dance craze starting right then and there.

This is a special episode discussing how to build successful business relationships. In this episode, Gina Cocking, is joined by featured guest Willard Bunn, a managing director at Colonnade Advisors. Willard has previously served as chairman, chief executive, and director of several commercial banks. He has held numerous board positions and has extensive experience as an investment banker. Willard has the ability to build deep relationships with potential clients and industry professionals, resulting in seemingly effortless marketing. One of the key takeaways from this episode is that trust is a critical factor in building a successful business relationship. In this episode, Willard addresses the following questions as related to building business relationships: Before you meet somebody for the first time, do you do any special preparation beforehand? (02:02) Willard: "Yes, there is so much information available on LinkedIn and other sources. When I meet people for the first time, I will search for them and extract what I can. It's helpful when you show up at a luncheon table to know who exactly you're talking to." How do you prepare when you don't know you're going to meet a person? For example, when attending conferences with hundreds of people in a room. (03:11) Willard: "I have found the best icebreaker has always been to ask. ‘What is your business? What do you do?’ Because there is nobody on the planet who doesn't want to talk about his or her business. Once you get that laid out, then you know where to go with the next question." Once you have met a person and chatted for a few minutes, how do you continue with that relationship? What type of follow-ups do you do? (03:57) Willard: "Normally, the follow-up would be an email of some sort. In the email, try to grab onto something in the conversation because that person has met a lot of people that evening, too." How soon do you generally follow-up with someone that you have met? (04:53) Willard: "I try to follow up quickly with an email, so the image is still in their mind. I also think it's helpful to attach something to the email. For example, for Colonnade's marketing, attaching a podcast episode or white paper would be helpful because it gives them an idea of who you are and the company." Do you have any strategies for cold calling or emailing people? (04:53) Willard: "If you are reaching out to someone for the first time, it is a good idea to attach a piece of work that you have done. For people that you're in touch with regularly, it is a good idea to attach a current update to the piece of work. This kind of process can stretch over the years. Building these relationships take time." When you do outreach and do not get a response, how long do you wait before you reach out to somebody again? What strategy is there without making the person feel guilty but reminding them that you're there? (08:19) Willard: "These are situational. I think once a quarter is probably sufficient time to give some downtime, but not to let it lapse either." What are other successful maintaining relationship strategies have you encountered? (09:21) Willard: "When I was running a bank, I was the target for investment bankers, and one of the bankers would send a non-business book every Christmas. I always thought that was a good way to keep in touch via a non-aggressive Christmas present." How do you prioritize maintaining relationships with people? (11:35) Willard: "One of the things that I noticed in the investment banking business was the bifurcation of time. When you get busy with current active deals, how do you simultaneously keep in touch with prospects? It's like everything else in life, you have the work you have to do right now in front of you, but you also have a list on the side of prospects. Communication now is much easier than ten years ago, which makes reaching out to prospects to keep in touch much easier." How do you reach out to people that you have not interacted with much? (13:26) Willard: "During non-COVID times, Chicago offered various events that allow people to meet. One medium that I have used in the past was the speaker dinners at the Economic Club. It gives you an informal, non-threatening environment to try to further a relationship." How do you build trust in a relationship? (15:18) Willard: "That is an important concept. People hire you because they trust you and feel you understand their business. It is hard to know what triggers trust. In my particular case, on the investment banking side, the people we represented, I knew well over several years. When you see how people behave in restaurants with waiters, how they behave on the golf course, and all that kind of stuff, that adds up to form a standpoint that I know this person and trust them, particularly, I can trust them to tell me the truth." Gina: "We also talked about how follow-ups after meeting a person can build trust. It's a good way to start building trust." What is one way to distinguish yourself when following up with business prospects? (18:39) Willard: "You distinguish yourself by actually doing something you said you were going to do. It is super simple, but not everybody does that." How often do you use handwritten notes, and when and why do you do that? (19:45) Willard: "In meaningful situations, I think a handwritten note is a very nice idea. It shows a little extra effort." Gina: "When I left Discover Financial Services, I wrote some of my colleagues handwritten notes a few days before I left. Then, I noticed several people had my note in their cubicles. I think because it was an unusual thing. People kept it and remembered it." What are your thoughts on postcards? (21:26) Willard: "Postcards are a very nice thing to send to people because it lets them know you're thinking of them in out of the way places." We all have limited hours in a day; how do you politely decline someone who reaches out to you, but you may not be in the best position to have a conversation with them? (23:00) Willard: "If someone wants your opinion about something, that is a nice compliment, so you don't want to seem ungrateful. If time is limited, tell the truth that it isn't anything you want to get involved with right now." Do you have any advice for people who are starting their careers and starting to build professional relationships? (25:31) Willard: "I'll give a piece of advice that I got from my father-in-law. When I was working in New York in the 70s, he advised me that I should get out every day and have lunch with somebody, and I did. Some of those lunches have led to great business ideas. My main point is to make sure you are out there seeing people, and lunch is a good time to do it."

Chris McComish, chief banking officer, consumer and wealth management at Chemical Bank, talks about how his institution has worked to foster relationship-driven growth and prosperity, and offers insight into an upcoming merger with another midwestern bank.

Guest: Andy Stein Age: 54 Years Location: New York, NY Bio: Andrew Stein founded the Orphaned Starfish Foundation in 2001 to help orphans, victims of abuse and at-risk children worldwide escape their cycles of poverty and abuse through education and job training. From humble beginnings building a small computer vocational training center in an orphanage for young victims of abuse in Santiago, Chile, he has built the Foundation to now serve over 13,000 children in 60 programs in 27 countries: Argentina, Mexico, Costa Rica, Panama, Peru, Honduras, Bolivia, Chile, Brazil, Nicaragua, Dominican Republic, Guatemala, Ecuador, Haiti, Cambodia, Colombia, Ethiopia, Paraguay, Puerto Rico, El Salvador, Uruguay, American Samoa & Nepal. Andy has partnered with local partners in each of these countries, including Save the Children, Rotary Club, and USAID. "Tio Andy! Tio Mago!" Andy makes yearly visits to each Orphaned Starfish program. Mago is Spanish for Magician. He brings a magic show complete with balloon animals for all the children. (His highest amount recorded was 1,000 balloon animals in one sitting.) His visits also allow for a personal connection not only to the children but to the institutions and their directors and teachers. Every visit helps OSF learn what is needed at our programs so we may better serve these children. Every trip also allows for new program scouting. For his work helping the children of the favelas of Brazil, Andy was awarded an Honorary Citizenship in Rio De Janeiro by their Congress. In the United States, he has also been awarded the Jefferson Award for Community Service, the key to the city of Miami Beach, NJ Islanders Hometown Hero, Commack High School Alumni of the Year, and several other state and local honors. He and the Orphaned Starfish Foundation have been featured on CNN, CNN en Espanol, Forbes, CBS News, Fox News, ABC News, Telemundo, and Univision as well as in the Wall Street Journal, Miami Herald, Star-Ledger, Jewish Week and US Magazine. Prior to his work with Orphaned Starfish, Andy was active in Special Olympics, Rotary Club, and Counterpart International. Andy Stein is a recovering banker having worked in banking for nearly 25 years. He was President and CEO of Makopastreet Partners, LLC. Makopastreet Partners provides senior debt financing for luxury and ultra-luxury hotel, and mixed-use developments, as well as infrastructure projects worldwide. Andy has been a featured speaker at several industry conferences worldwide and was a guest professor on the topic of international hotel finance at Wharton for the past several years. Andy was a Senior Vice President at a large German Bank, running their Hospitality Division and, prior to that was a Vice President at Chase and its predecessor institutions focussing on Infrastructure and Project Finance. From 1993 – 1996, Andy was based in Manila, the Philippines as the Joint Head of Corporate Finance for Chase’s (formerly Chemical Bank’s) Manila Branch. During his tenure in Manila, Andy developed the Bank’s project finance and hospitality expertise in the Philippines. Andy also was instrumental in the execution of the Brady Plan bonds, which restructured the bank debt of several Latin American and Asian countries. Andy holds a B.A. in Economics and International Relations from the University of Virginia. Andy is married to Dilia Stein and has two sons, all very much involved with Orphaned Starfish Foundation. Andy lives in New York City when not traveling for the Foundation. The World Needs More Of: 1. Caring for Others: People willing to give an opportunity to those most in need of it. 2. Love, Laughter and, of course Magic   Wow Factor: My WOW factor is that I left a successful career in banking to spend my life dedicated to helping orphans, victims of abuse, survivors of trafficking, indigenous children and at-risk youth break their cycles of abuse and poverty. Over 18 years ago, I was one of the top fliers for Continental Airlines for all my business travel. I told each bank country manager that in order for me to get on another plane and pitch business, they had to find me an orphanage and time in the schedule to play with those kids, make balloon animals and help them with their work and homework. 18 years ago, in one such orphanage in Chile, the nuns told me that when each girl reached the age of adulthood, they had to leave the orphanage and each girl that left would become a prostitute or live on the streets. I started the Orphaned Starfish Foundation to help these girls, building a state of the art computer center in their orphanage, and it was magic. Six months later the younger girls were the head of their classes, the older girls learned computer skills, and, since we started, only one girl went to the streets, and all others got into university or got jobs.

Detroit’s Q*Bert-esque convention center has been named after former Mayor Albert Cobo since it opened in 1960. That’s set to change, with today’s announcement that the authority that runs Cobo awarded naming rights to Chemical Bank for $1.5 million per year for 22 years. Mayor Mike Duggan has said for years that he thinks the convention center should be renamed, and on today’s show, we fill in the why. Jer speaks with local historian and writer Ken Coleman about Cobo’s complicated and divisive legacy, and what was behind the decision to rename the building that bears his name. Also: The nonprofit small-business incubator Ponyride is moving out of its Corktown building. And a new study of urban real estate finds that home prices increased faster in Detroit than in any other big city in North America. But there are qualifications.

It’s a big week for fall racing in Michigan with this Sunday marking the 41st running of the Detroit Free Press Chemical Bank Marathon and Half Marathon. Since 1989, Barbara Bennage has been involved with helping organizing this race tradition in The D. She’s served as executive race director of the event since 2014. “The best part about my job, aside from giving runners the opportunity to experience a unique race and change their lives, is I have the greatest staff in the world,” says Barbara, who works in the marketing department at the Detroit Free Press and describes herself as a recreational runner – “I run for mimosas,” she jokes. This race brings between 26,000 – 27,000 runners to the downtown streets of Detroit, across the Ambassador Bridge into the Canada (for the international races), and onto Belle Isle. Barbara shares the history of the longstanding race – it started as the Motor City Marathon in 1963; the course began including the Ambassador Bridge, which connects Detroit with Windsor, Ontario, Canada, in the late 1970s – and also explains how today there are both international and domestic distances for runners, and what that means for the runner experience. Barbara also talks about the race’s health and fitness expo that takes place in Cobo Hall this Friday and Saturday. More than 100 exhibitors will be on hand for this event. The race after-party, meanwhile, is a big celebration that offers some $5,000 in giveaways.

“Digital has democratized marketing … Consumers are playing an active role in defining our brands.” Barbara Apple Sullivan would know. As the founder and managing partner at Sullivan, she’s helped complex regulated brands like American Express and Merrill Lynch build and socialize strong brand architectures. I couldn’t wait to discuss all of this with Barbara this week on the On Brand podcast. About Barbara Apple Sullivan Barbara Apple Sullivan founded Sullivan in 1990 after spending more than a dozen years on the client side in the financial services industry. Recognizing a gap in how she was being serviced, Barbara understood that there was a need for agencies dedicated to helping complex businesses reach customers and prospects through the sales funnel rather than simply focusing on high level brand and awareness building. With this in mind, she launched Sullivan & Company and has grown the agency into a highly strategic group of nearly 60 employees serving clients across the financial and professional services, technology, higher education, industrial, and lifestyle industries. Current clients include American Express, Merrill Lynch, Cornell Tech, Duke University, and Crown Castle, among others. Prior to founding Sullivan, Barbara held senior level marketing positions at Chemical Bank and American Express. Barbara received her MBA from Harvard Business School and is a graduate of University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School with a B.S. in Marketing and Management of Entrepreneurship.
