This program will help students develop the necessary knowledge, skills, and abilities to be a successful executive in today’s competitive retail automotive industry.

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.
