DEVELOP AND TRAIN TO RETAIN YOUR BEST

General Management Executive Program

More than just a dealer academy, the NCMi General Management Executive Program (GMEP) is a practical and comprehensive education program that prepares current and future dealers and managers for long-term automotive careers. GMEP spans across 11 months, meeting for 3 ½ days every-other month for a total of six sessions. During this timeframe, students take a deep dive into each dealership department: sales, service and parts, and the accounting office are just some of what's included. Students will learn how each department operates, what drives performance, what obstacles to watch for, and how to lead their team to success. Throughout the program, students will utilize NCM’s proprietary Commitments, as well as review and critique the dealership’s NCM financial composite.

Class Length: 11 months, meeting for 3 ½ days every-other month for a total of six sessions

Doug Fleming, General Manager, Findlay VW

I have 37 years of experience in the automotive field, and this was by far the best training/information that I have been exposed to!

Gary Burton, General Manager, Gregg Young Chevrolet of Norwalk

This course has transformed my perception of the auto industry. The basics apply no matter what the average price-point of the merchandise you are selling, your customer, or market you compete in. I can't recommend this program enough to all GMs.

Mark Paddack, General Sales Manager, Boardwalk Ferrari Maserati of San Francisco

GMEP provided me with the frame work to be successful. I spent most of my time in fixed operations, so having the knowledge of the variable side of the business was extremely helpful.
