My Night Vision Is Simply Terrific
We won today against a 3M Bid proposal for Night Vision 25. Oddly enough this particular 3M dealer was pushing their Affinity Film as well??
OUR customer handed me a sample card of the 3M Film and asked me "if I knew anything about the film" and how it compared to Vista 28?
We won after I compared the two films and explained the differences and tangible benefits for our client.
Which brings me back to 2000.
That year, as 3M Window Film National Sales Manager, I went to Irvine, California and met with Best Window Film to see if I might convince them to become 3M Dealers. They told me the missing ingredient was a dual reflective film that could compete with the Vista 28. (They told me a lot of things that made my ears hurt but nowadays I can appreciate those days in an entirely different way.)
I practically sped to St Paul demanding that we develop a film that would be less reflective on the interior view. I brought the GM and our lab (Ken Smith) into the project and within 3 months he had developed the Night Vision Films, (I can't take credit for the name since I clearly remember Jim Mannix being the guy who came up with that! I made some crack about having an ad with a Vampire like Count Dracula say "now he really couldn't see himself in the glass!" The truly funny part is that we both knew that we'd never actually run any ads! )
Here I am almost exactly 9 years later brushing the film and yet another 3M dealer aside with Vista.
What comes around, goes around!
Priceless, isn't it? Tell Ken Smith we wish him well in his retirement and that our Vista doors are always open in Tampa!
