M&T Bank rolls out mortgage subsidy program for underserved communities BY KEVIN ZIMMERMAN kzimmerman@westfairinc.com

At issue: unpaid rent. As a condition of SIC moving in to the building in 2012, rent was waived by the Old Town Hall Redevelopment Agency (OTHRA), according to its chairman Tim Curtin. Beginning in 2013, monthly rent due was $14,000 to start and has since graduated to $16,000. But for the past three years SIC has only been paying “toward” utilities, Curtin said: “It’s not enough to cover the entire (utilities) bill.” OTHRA is now in the process of crafting a formal eviction notice, Curtin said, which he expects to be delivered sometime next week. Yet to be determined is the eviction notice’s effectiveness date: “I can’t say

uffalo-based M&T Bank is launching a mortgage subsidy program that allows qualifying homebuyers who are purchasing or refinancing properties in targeted neighborhoods within several counties throughout the Northeast — including towns in Fairfield and Westchester counties — as much as $18,750. The program is available for buying or refinancing properties in U.S. Census tracts where more than 50 percent of residents are African-American and/or Hispanic. Scott Vahue, senior vice president for mortgage lending at M&T, said the program was available to qualified customers in the Fairfield municipalities of Bridgeport, Danbury, Norwalk, Stamford and Stratford. In addition, eligible census tracts in Westchester are in Bedford, Mount Kisco, Ossining, Peekskill, Port Chester, the Mount Pleasant-HarrisonElmsford area, and the Yonkers-Mount Vernon-New Rochelle area. The program is also available in several other New York counties, as well as a number of counties in New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Delaware. “You can also live just outside the eligible towns,” Vahue said. “Just because you’re not technically within a given city’s limits doesn’t mean that we can’t help.” The subsidy program can assist qualified buyers in a variety of ways, including: • Contributing toward the down payment to purchase a house. •Buying down the interest rate of the loan. • Paying closing costs such as: mortgage insurance, recording fees, mort-

STAMFORD INNOVATION CENTER FACING EVICTION BY KEVIN ZIMMERMAN kzimmerman@westfairinc.com

ime appears to be running out for the Stamford Innovation Center (SIC), which is facing eviction from its longtime home at 175 Atlantic St. in the

building known as Old Town Hall. “It’s incredibly shortsighted and detrimental to the ongoing economic development of the city,” said SIC Managing Partner Barry Schwimmer. “Their actions, I believe, are unwarranted and will cause the company, the community and myself personally significant and irreparable harm.”

Security robot may be a game-changer for Bridgeport firm BY KEVIN ZIMMERMAN kzimmerman@westfairinc.com

he robotic revolution took another step forward in Bridgeport on Oct. 17, when the Sharp Intellos Automated Unmanned Ground Vehicle made its rounds at A+ Technology & Security Solutions. The multi-terrain vehicle took its first, figurative public bow by making a preprogrammed loop around A+’s yard at 1027 Fairfield Ave., deploying six cameras — which can provide both video and snapshots — to allow a 360-degree view that can be viewed from a command center. Other features include a siren, flashing lights, a deployable arm that can stretch to a height of about six feet, and a thermal imaging camera for nighttime use. Gregg Preuss, a regional sales engineer for Sharp Robotics Business Development, demonstrated how the Intellos also can be easily operated via a joystick-styled remote control, taking it off its programmed circuit to find the quickest path to a perceived trouble spot, such as a hole in a fence or the presence of an unexpected device or person. Thanks to its rear omni wheels — made with small discs around the circumference which are perpendicular to the turning direction — it can turn within a much tighter radius than can a car. From the command center, Preuss drove the Intellos up to the executives, engaged the siren and lights, and intoned: “You have entered a secure area. The police will be called.” The message seemed clear enough: this is a robot not to be messed with. “One of its primary functions is as a deterrent,” said David Lewis, associate vice president of Sharp Robotics. “It can capture critical information about who is coming onto the property, and can see and cover more territory than a human on patrol.” “This is something that really pushes the boundaries in security,” said Jorge Garcia, director of New England operations at A+. “The potential is amazing. In Connecticut alone we’re looking at $20-40 million in sales, just to start.” The Intellos has a maximum speed of about 3 ½ miles per hour and is equipped with sensors to avoid collisions with unexpected objects, noted Lewis. Powered by two rechargeable ion batteries with a life of about eight hours, it produces no emissions. A+ Technology, the Bayshore, N.Y.-based firm that opened its Bridgeport site in July,

is the first authorized dealer and integrator of the Sharp robot. “David Antar is a genius,” Lewis said of A+’s president, also in attendance at the demo. “His company is clearly on the leading edge of security technology. It takes a visionary to see the next generation of security.” “We got involved with Sharp about three years ago when they first explained their vision for this,” Antar said. “Not only is this impressive from a security standpoint, but the fact that it can detect levels of radiation and other bio medical conditions makes it ideal for companies with outdoor properties — utilities, pharmaceuticals, data centers, airports, rail yards and government facilities — without putting human lives at risk. This is a security solution that doesn’t put someone in harm’s way.” Antar also noted that the Intellos can be used as an anchoring device for a teth-

ered drone flying at up to 100 feet for further surveilling capabilities. Such activity is more efficient by utilizing an autonomous vehicle, “since the drone can never fly out of control,” he said. Though declining to give a dollar figure for the cost of the Intellos, Lewis said it would be roughly the same as or less than the price of hiring a security guard. According to jobs resource firm Recruiter. com, the national average salary range for a security guard is between $16,000 to 24,000 per year, depending on education and experience. Though operational in most weather, Lewis said that in the case of areas with significant winter snowfall such as Connecticut, more than two or three inches of snow would need to be cleared for the Intellos to operate properly. The Intellos and the A+ deal were first unveiled during a Sharp press conference

at the 62nd Annual Seminar and Exhibits of ASIS International 2016 in Orlando on Sept. 12. Present was Warren Bamford, vice president of global security at National Grid, the Waltham, Mass.-based utility that delivers electricity and natural gas to some 3.3 million customers in Massachusetts, New York and Rhode Island. Bamford said he was evaluating the robot based on A+’s recommendation. “The safety and security of our employees and the public is our number one priority,” Bamford said. “The multiterrain robot offered by A+ Technology is a new and innovative technology that any organization focused on security should explore.” Antar said that several customers have already been making inquiries and customer trials and demos are available. Shipments to customers will begin in January, he said, each with a three-year service and maintenance agreement.

Newtown Savings Bank seeks to become holding company BY KEVIN ZIMMERMAN kzimmerman@westfairinc.com

ewtown Savings Bank is seeking to become a holding company, in a move that the bank’s President and CEO John Trentacosta said was designed to allow it access to capital that it cannot secure under its current status as a mutual bank. Subject to an affirmative vote by a majority of its depositors, the reorganization would make the Bank a Connecticutchartered stock savings bank, wholly owned by Maryland-based NSB Holdings Inc., which in turn would be wholly owned by NSB Mutual Holding Co. When asked if the move could be seen as a precursor to Newtown Savings Bank going public, Trentacosta said: “A lot of people may see it that way, but from our standpoint it is not. This is not about common stock but about capitalization. We have every intention to stay mutual.” Going public would require another depositors’ vote, he added. Newtown Savings Bank CFO and senior vice president William McCarthy noted that the bank is currently considered under federal bank regulatory statutes as “well capitalized,” meaning that it must have a Tier 1 capital ratio of at least 6 percent; a combined Tier 1 and Tier 2 capital ratio of at least 10 percent; a leverage ratio of at least 5 percent; and cannot be subject to a directive, order, or written agreement to meet and maintain specific capital levels. “We are not having any financial difficulties,” McCarthy said. “This is meant as a forward-looking action which will allow us access to additional capital if we need it.” The executives pointed to an Oct. 6 letter sent to its depositors to further explain the move. “As a mutual savings bank without a holding company, our only source of regulatory capital is earnings,” the letter stated. “The reorganization will permit the company to issue subordinated debt or stock to the public or in a private placement and to infuse the proceeds into the bank should the need for such capital arise. “The mutual holding company structure could also facilitate acquisitions of other commercial banks or savings banks,” it continued. “At the same time, the bank’s mutual form of organization and its ability to provide community-

oriented financial services will be preserved in the mutual holding company. The bank is committed to being an independent community-oriented institution, and to meeting the financial and credit needs of the communities in which it operates. The board of trustees believes that the mutual holding company structure is best suited for this purpose.” Trentacosta said the reorganization had been discussed for more than a year. The bank has also sent a number of emails encouraging its depositors to vote in favor of the reorganization. “Not voting is the same as voting ‘no’,” he said. As many as 4.6 million votes could be cast, he added, primarily through proxy cards attached to the letter. Votes can also be submitted via phone or at proxy-

push.com/NSB. “A lot of our customers have already called,” McCarthy said, “and we’re doing all we can to answer them. If there’s something that our call center or regular staff can’t answer, our management team will.” Chief among depositors’ concerns is whether the day-to-day operations of the bank will change. “We’ll have the same name, the same employees, the same way of doing business, the same products and services,” Trentacosta said. “There will be no change to the corporate structure.” He said that the bank expects "an overwhelming majority" to approve the reorganization. Results are expected to be announced at a Nov. 21 meeting at the bank’s main office at 39 Main St. in

Newtown. Depositors may cast their vote at that meeting, though Trentacosta said the bank expects few actual votes to take place then. Voting was open to any depositors as of Sept. 23, with each depositor permitted to cast one vote for each $100, or fraction thereof, of the withdrawable value of such depositor’s deposit account(s) as of Sept. 23. No depositor may cast more than 1,000 votes per account ownership type. If approved by depositors, the issue would then be sent for approval by the Federal Reserve, which is expected to approve it within 30 to 60 days, Trentacosta said. Should the depositors vote against the move, Trentacosta said, “We’d have to try again.”

Bridgeport development struggle at heart of lawsuit BY KEILA TORRES OCASIO Hearst Connecticut Media

espite undergoing extensive makeovers in recent years, many ground-level retail spaces remain vacant in downtown Bridgeport’s Arcade mall and a second building several blocks away known as 144 Golden Hill. At the Arcade, tenants have come and quickly gone. The building at Golden Hill and Main streets has not even seen that type of action. “We were wildly optimistic,” said Eric Anderson, head of New York-based Urban Green, the developer chosen by the city in 2003 to take on the redevelopment of the buildings. “The appraisals were wildly optimistic. (But) there’s no market downtown. You need more housing.” Now, those projects and another in the area known as Downtown North are the source of a power struggle between Anderson and Westchester County-based Ginsburg Development Cos. The battle is playing out in two lawsuits filed by Ginsburg, which invested in the downtown projects, against Urban Green and Anderson. In the lawsuits filed in New York, Ginsburg accuses Anderson of fraud, mismanaging funds and other actions it says nearly caused the downtown Bridgeport projects to “implode.” Ginsburg wants Anderson to walk away from the projects, which Ginsburg, whose principal is Martin Ginsburg, claims in the lawsuit are in danger of foreclosure. Jonathan P. Vuotto, a partner at New Jersey-based Riker Danzig Scherer Hyland & Perretti, which represents Ginsburg, said the lawsuits speak for themselves. “The point that we would like to emphasize is that, when the project was at very serious risk of failure as a result of Mr. Anderson’s actions, GDC took over as the managing member and is still in the process of turning it around — in the best interests of all parties, especially the city of Bridgeport,” he said in an email. “GDC was shocked to learn that many of the project’s cost issues were not as a result of Mr. Anderson’s mere mismanagement, but rather appear to be due to his fraudulent activities.” The development companies first joined forces in 2005, two years after Anderson was chosen by the city to redevelop Citytrust, Arcade and 144 Golden Hill, three downtown buildings that had fallen into disuse. He was chosen near the end of Mayor Joe Ganim’s first term in office, though

Ganim, who went on to serve seven years in prison on corruption charges and was re-elected to his post last year, did not serve on the panel that selected the developer. The mayor’s office did not respond to requests for comment. At the time Anderson was chosen, he partnered with Ginsburg in an effort to obtain the funding needed to carry out the projects. But Ginsburg claims the partnership went sour soon after. In one of the lawsuits, the company accuses Anderson of misappropriating more than $10 million of Ginsburg’s investment for his own benefit. He is accused of stealing funds from the Bridgeport projects to fund other projects in New York and to pay for expenses and fees Ginsburg said he was not authorized to receive. He is also accused of giving nearly $86,000 to the Bridgeport-based Kuchma Corp. “without justification or explanation.” Ginsburg’s lawsuit states the company had no idea of Anderson’s alleged actions even after he unexpectedly told the company in 2008 there were “millions of dollars in unpaid construction costs for Phases I and II, leading to mechanics’ liens filings and defaults on the parties’ loans and commitments.” This “crisis” caused the project’s cost to increase by approximately $19 million from the initial estimate, the lawsuits state. Ginsburg said it was forced to bring in its own construction manager and management company to save the projects. In a recent interview, Anderson refuted the claims against him. “He wants to muddy the waters,” Anderson said of Martin Ginsburg. “There’s no foreclosure. ...They’re making the stuff up.” Anderson said the projects were difficult to carry out, due in part to the Great Recession and separately because it proved more difficult than expected to lease the retail spaces in the second phase. The troubles led the developers to create a new agreement in 2014 in which they agreed to part ways by splitting the phases — the Citytrust building project, called Phase I, would go to Ginsburg, and Phase II, the Arcade and 144 Golden Hill buildings, to Anderson. “I worked with him to give him Phase I and now it’s time for me to get Phase II,” Anderson said. But Ginsburg in its lawsuit claims it “was unaware of Anderson’s fraud when it entered into this mutual release.” The company states it became suspicious of Anderson after learning of a recent law-

suit in which he is also accused of stealing funds and mismanaging New York projects by his former business associate, James Fendt. Another point of contention between the two companies is the exit of one of the pair’s lenders, U.S. Bank, from the projects. Ginsburg claims Anderson has been unresponsive to efforts to work out a deal with the bank, which Anderson denies. The parties also disagree over Anderson’s third phase downtown, the Jayson-Newfield building on Main Street in Downtown North. Former Mayor Bill Finch’s administration chose Anderson along with several other developers to take on the group of buildings in the neighborhood. Finch could not be reached for comment. Last year, work was halted on that project, with Bridgeport-based Primrose Cos., the project’s general contractor, saying it was not being paid by Urban Green. And earlier this year a subcontractor claimed to be owed $145,000 by Urban Green for work performed. While a different Downtown North project across the street is ready to accept new tenants, Jayson-Newfield remains far from completion. Keila Torres Ocasio is a reporter for Hearst Connecticut Media.

gage tax, appraisal fees, credit report fees, title insurance, title search fees, home inspections, counseling fees, tax and insurance escrow reserves and other costs. Vahue explained that the new program “came with the territory” when M&T acquired Hudson City Bancorp. (That cashand-stock deal, originally valued at $3.7 billion when it was signed in 2012, had grown in value to a reported $5.5 billion when it was finally concluded in 2015.) When the Federal Reserve Board approved the acquisition, it said it expected M&T "to fulfill all outstanding obligations of [Hudson City] under applicable law and the consent order." The consent order, issued by the Department of Justice and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, was created to address perceived discriminatory shortfalls in Hudson City's lending practices; the agencies had accused Hudson City of "redlining" black and Hispanic neighborhoods, where it significantly lagged in granting loans when compared to other lenders. M&T took on Hudson City’s $33 million in fair-lending and community-reinvestment obligations. The bank has about $25 million to spend, Vahue said. “We’re a little different than Hudson City,” he said, “in that we have ‘street’ loan officers, who work regularly with realtors, builders and the like and can spread the word within their spheres of influence. We’re also doing a fair amount of radio and

M&T has branches and ATMs in Bethel, Monroe, Brookfield, Ossining and Elmsford. “There are other subsidy offers out there for a variety of customers,” he added, “but we believe that we hit or exceed our targets in every one of those markets.” As of June 30, M&T had assets of $123.8 billion. It has more than 800 domestic banking offices, more than 1,600 ATMs and more than 17,000 employees.

Boehringer joins trial program to advance treatments for AML Boehringer Ingelheim is among four pharmaceutical companies to join The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) in a trial program to advance treatments for patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The Beat AML Master Trial will evaluate investigational medicines from several biopharmaceutical companies and will enroll newly diagnosed patients who will be assigned to a treatment arm based on genomic analysis. Ridgefield-based Boehringer will provide its investigational anti-CD33 monoclonal antibody, BI 836858, as a treatment for one arm of the trial, which is being touted as the first of its kind. Other pharma participants are Alexion, Celgene, and Gilead Sciences. The trial will launch initially at The Ohio State University, Memorial-Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, Oregon Health and Science University, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and Massachusetts General. The first patients are expected to be enrolled by

December 2016, and six additional clinical sites are prepared to begin enrolling patients in April 2017, with the goal of eventually expanding to between 15 and 20 sites. LLS anticipates that 500 patients will be treated in the Beat AML Master Trial. With support and guidance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, the trial will use the latest genomic technology to find and match specific AML mutations, in newly diagnosed patients over the age of 60, with an investigational drug or drugs best suited to attack the specific genetic mutations which are found within the cancer. AML is an aggressive blood cancer mainly affecting people over age 60 and accounts for approximately one third of all adult leukemias in the Western world. Responsible for more than 10,000 deaths annually in the U.S., it is the most lethal of the blood cancers, which together are the third leading cause of cancer deaths in the U.S. —Kevin Zimmerman

State Superior Court Judge Barbara Bellis dismissed on Oct. 14 a lawsuit filed by several Newtown families against Remington Arms, the manufacturer of the rifle used in the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre. The wrongful-death suit argued that Remington was responsible for selling what it termed a semi-automatic rifle, used by Adam Lanza to kill 20 first-graders and six educators. The judge agreed with Remington attorneys that the lawsuit should be dismissed under the federal Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act, which protects gun makers from liability when their firearms are used in crimes. "While the families are obviously disappointed with the judge's decision, this is not the end of the fight," said Joshua Koskoff, an attorney for the

families. "We will appeal this decision immediately and continue our work to help prevent the next Sandy Hook from happening." Democratic U.S. Sens. Richard Blumenthal and Chris Murphy and Rep. Elizabeth Esty, all major gun control proponents, released a statement saying that the aforementioned federal law “denies victims of gun violence their fair day in court. This misapplied and misguided law protects gun manufacturers from liability even for dangerous and irresponsible practices — an unprecedented and indefensible legal shield available to no other American industry. We disagree with today’s decision and will continue our fight to repeal this reprehensible law.” —Kevin Zimmerman

Xerox sued by shareholder to stop business split Xerox Corp. shareholder Darwin Deason has filed a lawsuit to block the Norwalk company’s split into two entities — Xerox and business processing outsourcing unit Conduent — expected to take place at the end of the year. In the suit, filed in the U.S. District Court in Dallas, Deason argues that the split would leave him invested in an “unattractive, low-growth” document technology business. He maintains that the split would reverse Xerox’s $6.2 billion purchase in 2010 of the company he founded, Affiliated Computer Services Inc. (ACS).

As part of that acquisition, Deason negotiated for preferred shares in Xerox that were specifically designed to compensate for his controlling stake in ACS and to “guarantee his continued investment in the combined investment-grade business of the company,” according to the suit. Deason owns about 6 percent of Xerox shares. Xerox said that it intends to seek the suit’s dismissal, and that it expects its separation to be completed on schedule. —Kevin Zimmerman

A picture on Instagram may be worth more than a thousand words

n Instagram, each picture can get you closer to your next client. If you set up your Instagram account right and share engaging photos, you can quickly grow a massive following. Some brands like Foundr Magazine went from zero to hero on the photo-sharing platform. In less than two weeks, the brand got its first 10,000 followers. In under six months, the account exceeded 110,000 targeted followers. While Foundr Magazine is an outlier of the typical Instagram experience, it is possible for you to take your account to levels beyond your expectations. If strategically utilized, Instagram can become a blog traffic generating machine. If you promote a product or service on your blog, that additional traffic can create revenue for you. Blog traffic from Instagram is a valuable yet underrated source of traffic that you can start utilizing today. Here’s how you can get started.

LINK TO YOUR BLOG IN YOUR BIO

Perhaps the easiest way to start getting blog traffic from Instagram is to link to your blog in your bio. While you won’t get mountains of visitors from this method, it will help you generate some traffic. Within this tactic lies a power move that can make or break your sales efforts on Instagram. Many online marketers do not link directly to their blogs. Rather, they send visitors straight to their product, service page or email collection funnel. Why not give your Instagram followers a direct link to the pages that generate the most revenue?

POST A PICTURE OF YOUR LATEST BLOG POST

Most people exclusively post on Instagram from their smartphones. What relatively few people know is that you can post on Instagram straight from your desktop and schedule the pictures as well.

The next time you publish a blog with a picture, you can post the image on Instagram, provide some information about the blog and then include your website link at the end of the description. A quality picture will generate more likes. As your post engagement increases, more users will view your content and check out your website.

UTILIZE S4S

S4S, otherwise known as ‘Shoutout for Shoutout,’ is arguably the most powerful way to market yourself on Instagram. You can promote someone else and they talk about you in return. While most people use this method solely to get more followers, S4S is an excellent way to get in front of targeted followers. Instead of exchanging shoutouts with any Instagram account you come across trade mentions with an account in your niche. If you enjoy sharing motivational

quotes, pair up with someone who posts inspirational quotes as Instagram pictures. To begin this relationship, just contact them via an Instagram direct message or from the ‘Contact Me’ section of their blog. Let them know what’s in it for them. To ensure mutual benefit, contact individuals who have a similar audience size. If you contact someone with 1 million followers while you only have 500, it’s obvious who’s benefitting from the relationship. Create win-win partnerships that equally strengthen both brands. If you do one S4S every day, you’ll get promoted by 365 different Instagram accounts by the end of the year. Focusing your S4S efforts on brands within your niche will ensure you are getting more followers who are interested in what you post on Instagram. All of these new targeted members will result in more engagement and clicks the next time you post a picture promoting your latest blog post.

FORMER BLUEFISH PRESIDENT NAMED PRESIDENT/CEO OF BRIDGEPORT REGIONAL BUSINESS COUNCIL

The board of directors of the Bridgeport Regional Business Council (BBRC) has unanimously approved Michael E. "Mickey" Herbert as its new president and CEO. Herbert will replace BRBC President Paul Timpanelli, who announced his retirement last year after leading the group for 28 years. Timpanelli’s last day is scheduled to be Oct. 31. “The BRBC has a tremendous opportunity to begin to transform itself at a very critical time in its history,” Armando Goncalves, the organization’s board chair and division president at Peoples United Bank, wrote to BRBC members. “I believe that the skills that Mickey will bring to the table will lay the groundwork, in partnership with our volunteer leadership, to redefine and update the role of the BRBC in a manner, which will enable our resources to be more effectively dedicated to building a renewed business environment.” Herbert, who has been on the BRBC for several years and served as its chairman for two, has operated Michael E. Herbert Consulting for the past six-plus

ELDCO BUYS SOUTH NORWALK PROPERTY FOR $1.157M

EldCo LLC has purchased the 7,500-squarefoot retail and office property at 23-29 S. Main St. in South Norwalk for $1.157 million from Mainstream Development. The latter had purchased the property in 1996 for its marketing business; upon the retirement of Mainstream partners Ralph Miolla and Paul Port, Darien-based real estate firm NAI Signature Group was enlisted to manage the property and ready it for sale. This is the first Fairfield County investment property for construction machinery firm EldCo, based in Iron River, Wis. The new owners plan to make capital improvements to the building, including exterior painting, that will reduce maintenance costs and add further value to its investment. —Kevin Zimmerman

Publisher’s dining ‘passport’ leads her on entrepreneurial journey

VENTURES

BY PHIL HALL phall@westfairinc.com

ntrepreneurial inspiration can often strike in the least likely environments. For Elizabeth Menke, a career-changing moment came in 2014 while browsing the aisles of

a European food festival — she spotted a handsomely produced book that served as a quasi-passport to the local restaurants. Patrons would have their “passport” stamped and receive special deals at the eateries within the book. “I didn’t recall seeing something like that in the United States, and I thought there might be a market for it,” said Menke,

who fixated on this idea even though her previous professional endeavors had nothing to do with either publishing or the food trade. “My background is investment backing, specifically working with small and medium-size companies in organizing and financing their businesses, and helping them with strategic issues. I had started a small business related to that.” Menke, who was living abroad at the time, returned to Connecticut in 2015 and quickly began laying the foundation of what would become Entrée Nous, a Weston-based publishing company that produced books featuring profiles of local restaurants. When a party for two arrives at one of the participating restaurants, the book is stamped and one guest receives a complimentary entrée. Menke admitted that the potential for this European concept was not immediately recognized stateside. “We do have a bit of education to do here,” she said. “It is a new product and not everybody understands immediately what the book is about. But after discussions, people are readily convinced — especially any business owner that understands their financial statements and feels every dollar going in and out of their restaurant.” And, of course, the idea of using a book as a marketing tool might strike the Snapchat crowd as being a bit too 20th century. “Old school, isn’t it?” admitted Menke with a gentle laugh, adding that the digital environment is part of her business plan. “We’re trying to combine the two. We’re in the process of developing a web-based application so our book holders don’t necessarily have to bring the book with them

to the restaurant — there is a web-based validation when they use the book.” Still, she focused on the high-end quality aspects of the book’s design, with thick glossy paper, a ribbon page holder and handsome art direction. “In this digital age, design has become even more important, and the average American is even more sensitive to design aspects,” she said. “There is a lot of emphasis on the design of the book. And when giving a gift, either as thank-you gift or an end-of-the-year school gift, it’s always nice to have something beautiful in your hands to present to somebody.” Menke focused on 12 high-end restaurants in Fairfield County for her first edition. “It’s a great food scene,” Menke said. “We’re not far from the city and we’ve seemed to attract a great many restaurant owners.” The first edition was published with a shelf-life from November 2015 to December 2016. The second edition will overlap, from its debut next month with a shelf-life through the end of 2017. Two restaurants featured in the first edition — Artisan in Southport and Elm in New Canaan — are returning, along with 10 new destinations that Menke plans to unveil in early November. There will also be a new twist: readers that visit all 12 restaurants in the 2017 edition will receive what Menke described as “a little surprise.” Entrée Nous is also attracting attention as a corporate incentive gift. Real estate brokers have been very receptive to it, offering it as a thank-you gift to clients. Moving forward, Menke aims to take Entrée Nous to other major markets with a diverse restaurant selection — and a 2017 edition is being readied for Minnesota’s Minneapolis-St. Paul market. “One of the things we liked about this business model is that it is very scalable,” she said. But as with any successful start up, Menke sometimes finds herself overwhelmed coping with too much of a good thing. “There are only 24 hours in the day and there is only so much to do,” she admitted. “For the first edition, we were focused on three questions: Are restaurants interested in this? Are customers interested in this? And can we actually get a book put together? The answer to all three was yes, so this year we are more focused on the experience of bringing high-quality repeat customers to the restaurants and introducing fine dining experiences to our readers.”

Fairfield County financial executives honored at CFO of the Year Awards BY ALEESIA FORNI aforni@westfairinc.com

even of Fairfield County’s top financial executives were honored at the CFO of the Year Awards, an event presented by The Fairfield County Business Journal and RSM US LLP, the accounting firm formerly known as McGladrey. “As we all know, companies can change rapidly as they grow and the economy churns through its various cycles,” said Steve Kirn, a partner at RSM. “One thing that remains constant is the importance of a CFO that can navigate through the many challenges a growing company faces and do so with integrity.” Additional sponsors for the event, which was held at the Stepping Stones Museum for Children in Norwalk on Oct. 18, included Rakow Commercial Realty Group, Robert Half, Gilda Bonanno LLC and Val’s Putnam Wines and Liquors. For its fifth year, the annual awards event recognized the leaders who grow their businesses and create economic opportunity in the region. The winners, who were chosen by a panel of judges, included Mark Antonini, CFO and COO of The Center for Family Justice; Susan Bader, CFO of Connecticut Orthopaedic Specialists; George Barrios, chief strategy and financial officer of WWE; John Gettings, CFO of Norwalk Community Health Center; Mike Lungariello, executive vice president and CFO of Intrepid Aviation; Lori Pasqualini, vice president and chief financial and administrative officer of Ability Beyond and Fred Rubin, CFO of Five Star Products Inc. Keynote speaker and Connecticut state Comptroller Kevin Lembo opened the award ceremony by noting that Connecticut’s “assets far outweigh (its) challenges,” with its concentration of Fortune 500 companies and start-ups, the high number of doctorate degrees per capita and the strength of its workforce productivity. “If we get our act together, then that can take off, and if we don’t, it probably won’t,” Lembo said. “We’re at a nexus. We’re at a moment in history in this state where we have an opportunity to set things right.” Lembo also lauded the financiers in attendance for their contributions and hard work. “It’s great to be in a room with people who sometimes turn nothing into something to help the rest of the economy move,” he said. Many winners credited co-workers within their company for assisting them in their duties.

“No one person makes a successful team,” said Gettings. “It takes everyone to be committed to the goals that you set.” Antonini, who spent the beginning of his career working for “corporations with pockets,” noted both the rewards and hardships of working for an organization that advocates

for victims of domestic violence and abuse. “It is extremely difficult to manage revenue and cash flow in the nonprofit world when there are continued cuts to funding, many of them at the state level,” Antonini said before thanking the The Center of Family Justice’s donors and supporters for

their generosity. Barrios said he was thankful to be among the group of other CFOs awarded at the event. “For a Cuban kid who grew up in Flushing, to now be in this distinguished group, it’s really humbling,” he said.

ASK ANDI

BY ANDI GRAY

The challenge of growing your sales and your business Sales like we had a couple years ago are not going to happen again. Everyone agrees that we’ve already hit the high-water mark. We never had much of a sales organization. We just got calls from people who wanted what we had. But now they have what they need and we’re up against a wall wondering what to do next. THOUGHTS OF THE DAY: Consider the size of your pipeline. If you were once in high demand, you can be again. Look for extensions on what you’ve already sold. For the next round of growth, consider buying what you need. Figure out which sales challenges you really need and want to solve. One of the big problems right off the top is it sounds like your pipeline isn’t as full as it needs to be.

Picking the right customers will help fuel growth. Look for customers who: • Make frequent purchases from outside resources, rather than trying to solve problems internally; • Can afford to pay a premium for what you offer; • Want and need what your company provides • Willing to spread the word that you’re a great solution. Go through your book of existing customers, tag the ones that meet “right customer” criteria. Make some customer service calls and use them to find out what else those “right customers” want. In addition to customer surveys you can do surveys of all past customers, analyze “right customer” buying patterns and look at what competitors are doing to get this kind of business. One of the easiest sales to make may be something you can add onto what you’re already selling. If you’re selling a product, add a service contract. If you’re selling a service, add a product that enhances or

consistently; • Don’t know how much volume is needed in the pipeline to grow; and • Can’t leverage sales from one product or service to another. Make sure you’re solving the right problem before you set out to buy or build solutions. Above all else, take action necessary to grow now. The alternative to growth is watching the business decline to the point where it is unprofitable and then no longer salvageable. Who wants that? BOOK RECOMMENDATION: Looking for a good book? “From Impossible to Inevitable: How Hyper-Growth Companies Create Predictable Revenue,” by Aaron Ross and Jason Lemkin. Andi Gray is president of Strate�y Leaders Inc., Strate�yLeaders.com, a business consulting �irm that teaches companies how to double revenue and triple pro�its in repetitive growth cycles.

extends the value provided by the service. Adding highly profitable extensions allows you to increase the average purchase as well as margin. You can also boost margin and revenue by instituting a price increase. Lots of companies haven’t increased prices in years. If you’re out of ideas on what else to sell to existing customers, take a look around at what others are selling. You have a client list and you’re already on the approved vendor list. Perhaps you only need to increase the quantity of things to sell. Rather than bootstrap your way up from nothing, buy another company’s product or service and add it to your line of offers. Whether you plan to buy or build sales solutions, make sure you know exactly what sales problems you need to solve. Sales are stalled for one or more reasons. Dive into the “why” of the stall in order to achieve a permanent boost to sales. Consider some of the following reasons that sales typically get stalled: • Not enough things to sell; • Not enough sales people selling; • Current sales team needs more or better skills; • Not enough marketing to fill the pipeline

House sales down in Fairfield County BY ALEXANDER SOULE Hearst Connecticut Media

esidential real estate markets in southwestern Connecticut and statewide were “uninspired,” in the words of one large brokerage firm, with sales down 1 percent from a year earlier to about 9,240 units. The number of days that homes have been on the market increased while the average price statewide was off 3.7 percent from a year ago to $379,000. Across municipal-level markets, results were mixed, in some cases in the extremes, with market gyrations creating opportunities for buyers at both uppertier and bargain price points, according to Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices New England Properties, which has its corpo-

rate office in Wallingford. “Sellers of luxury homes are starting to drop prices dramatically, giving homebuyers the opportunity to buy their dream home in desirable neighborhoods,” CEO Candace Adams stated in an analysis accompanying the Berkshire Hathaway Home Services New England Properties report. “At the other end of the spectrum, buyers looking for a fixer-upper and low monthly payments are benefiting from the increase of foreclosure starts in the state as Connecticut countered the national trend in the month of July with a 50 percent increase.” While Stamford and Fairfield were neck and neck in the third quarter in southwestern Connecticut topping the 200-unit mark in single-family home sales, Stratford had by far the healthiest bounce-

back quarter as tracked by Berkshire Hathaway. Stratford recorded improvements in sales, prices and days homes are on the market on average — three key criteria used by real estate brokers to gauge market momentum. The town saw a 35 percent increase in single-family home sales to 105 in all, with the average price up 14 percent to about $272,000. Farther down the Gold Coast, the Darien market is struggling with thirdquarter sales off 44 percent from a year ago to 68 units sold, and with the average price off 16 percent at $1.4 million, with a similar decline in the price of the median home sold in both quarters. In other major markets locally, singlefamily home sales were down 24 percent in Bridgeport, 9 percent in Norwalk and 11 percent in Danbury, though several Danbury-area towns saw increases. Greenwich recorded an 8 percent gain in units sold, though the average price was down 13 percent to $2.2 million. Alexander Soule is a reporter for Hearst Connecticut Media.

right now whether it will be (Dec. 31) or not.” As with most elements of the case, there is a lack of agreement over whether OTHRA has been open to discussions. Schwimmer, who called the situation “very complicated and reasonably fluid,” maintained that SIC has been paying a portion of the rent as well as its utilities bills. “We notified them ahead of time that we would be unable to make full rent without bankrupting the company,” he said, “but they have refused to engage with us.” “We talk regularly,” Curtin said. “But starting with that third year, they just haven’t paid, saying they had no money.” Launched as a business accelerator for entrepreneurs, the SIC rents space at its headquarters to businesses of all stripes, and has been expanding its calendar seemingly exponentially ever since, especially in regard to technology: It rolled out its first-ever Stamford Technology Week Sept. 14-18 and is in the midst of its inaugural Northeast Hackathon series, which began Sept. 16 and concludes Nov. 13. “A lot of good things have come out of the building,” Curtin said. “Tech Week was a very effective program and the Start-Up Weekends they’ve been involved in have been well-done. We just can’t

carry them anymore.” “Good works” is one area where both sides agree. According to SIC: • Approximately 5,000 people participate annually in SIC sponsored events. • Approximately 100 workers and two dozen companies are housed at 175 Atlantic. • Over $30 million of capital has been invested in SIC startup companies. • Four SIC “alumni companies” have outgrown SIC’s space capacity and taken standalone offices in Stamford. • SIC resident and alumni company workers spend an estimated $800,000 annually at local businesses. In addition, SIC has been exploring expansion into Norwalk, having led the Norwalk Planning Grant Application

process for the state’s expanded CTNext program. “However, Stamford officials responded negatively to our efforts to work with additional communities,” according to Schwimmer. “It was our hope that our work in Norwalk, coupled with our outstanding track record in Stamford, would allow us to address this challenge.” Disagreements between SIC and OTHRA even extend to the start of their tenant/landlord relationship. According to Curtin, the “free rent for two years” arrangement was offered “because that was a time when not many organizations were looking for space here.” But such apparent largesse came at a price. Schwimmer said that when SIC origi-

nally signed its lease, it did so under the assumption that certain economic concessions would be forthcoming. “We invested about $300,000 directly into the building for infrastructure and improvements that needed to be implemented to make the building useful.” Although the city reportedly spent some $22 million to renovate the building, “they did not complete things like flooring, electricity, HVAC and the like,” Schwimmer said. “The excuse we were given at the time was that they didn’t know who the tenant would be, so they didn’t know how to finalize the work on the building.” He added that no plans have been made for SIC’s future, should the eviction come to pass. “We have not been served with a notice,” he said, “so we are working diligently to preserve the business we have developed and the good works we have contributed to the community. “I’ve been really heartened by the outpouring of support we’ve received broadly from the community, despite the actions of the city,” he added. Various parties have supposedly expressed interest in taking over the space, including several that SIC currently works with, according to Schwimmer, who declined to specify who they were. “We’re not talking to any potential tenants until this issue is resolved,” said Curtin.

Where Will Manufacturing Workers Come From?

onnecticut’s manufacturing industry got a series of boosts over recent weeks with announcements that Electric Boat, Pratt & Whitney, and Sikorsky all planned to increase their workforce.
