Visit Visit our website Made by Calvin Productions, “How About Me?“ is a sales instructional film, made to educate service station attendants and owners about selling antifreeze, as well as providing proper customer service and attention to detail. The overriding lesson is about reminding customers to get their antifreeze replaced every year. The film begins with a man -- Mr. Smith -- in the complaint department / returns department of a major department store. The man discusses his own complaints as a consumer at a service station. At 2:47, Mr. Smith visits a full service station where the lazy attendant doesn’t check his battery or oil. As a result, Mr. Smith’s car overheats at (3:41) due to lack of antifreeze. At (4:10), an attendant who is more professional, asks Mr. Smith if he needs antifreeze in advance of the onset of winter, and performs a full check of his car’s systems including hoses, oil, belts, lubricants, etc. At (6:00) Mr. Smith talks about how the man at his local station can make a lot of money, while saving the customer from all sorts of hassle. At (6:37) there is a discussion of the term “permanent antifreeze“ and it being something that is used just for one winter season -- not permanently. At (7:54) the battery is checked as well as tire pressure as part of a normal service. At (8:40) Mr. Smith returns to the complaint department.
