Program Overview
Combining the high-performance history of RLO Training's Bottom Line Impact Groups and the Institute's SMART Groups, the GEAR Performance Groups (GPG) are so much more than your traditional automotive 20s groups. The Institute's groups are focused on creating a community of elite automotive professionals backed by industry-leading education and training.
When you're a GPG member, we'll help you:
-
Increase your profits
-
Create custom strategies for your business
-
Have support for every decision
How do our Groups make this happen? By working off the three pillars essential to any automotive support group:
-
Courage
-
Adaptability
-
Teamwork
For Shop Owners, Managers and Leaders
To build stronger management and leadership skills so that you can inspire, engage, and drive your team toward success
