ncm 20 groups

NCM Associates, Inc. is best known for pioneering the original 20 Group process -- an organized forum where dealers can find profit by sharing both their business hits and misses with a group of non-competing peers.

How the 20 Groups work

Members of NCM 20 Groups are from businesses of similar size in terms of unit volume, profit potential and number of employees.  To benefit from ideas from all parts of the country, the groups are formed from a cross-section of companies representing all regions of the United States.  This also protects our members against the danger of losing business secrets to neighbors. 

NCM sends each member a monthly composite of comparative statistics compiled from the financial statements of all members.  Each group also meets three times a year to exchange profitable ideas, management practices, and cost-saving suggestions.  NCM's skilled and experienced moderators help focus the group's efforts and provide valuable information at each meeting.   

Today, NCM has more than two hundred 20 Groups in a variety of different industries :
