20 Clubs
What is a 20 Club?
Think of a 20 Club as your personal Board of Advisors—a group designed to help you grow faster, smarter, and more profitably.
Garage Composites brings together up to 20 non-competing dealers in one room to share best practices, review transactional data, and discuss the latest industry trends. Using our proprietary composite reporting system, dealers compare performance, challenge each other, and hold themselves accountable to real results.
The outcome? A proven way to shrink the learning curve, avoid costly mistakes, and implement strategies that drive success. There’s simply no better way to learn **what works—and what doesn’t—**than through the power of a 20 Club.
What types of 20 Clubs do you offer?
Garage Composites has 20 Clubs in the Powersports and Marine industry. Furthermore, we offer a mix of both OEM sponsored as well as private 20-Club in all of these spaces. Lastly, in Powersports we further break down 20-Clubs for Harley-Davidson and Metric.
Will there be a large commitment on my part?
The 20 Club experience is most certainly a commitment. There is a commitment to preparing and inputting your dealership's numbers into our composite monthly. There is a commitment to your peers to show up to every meeting prepared and ready to be involved in a meeting for two days. Lastly, there is a commitment to yourself to become better and more profitable.
How will my dealership be placed into a 20 Club? Will I have any say in which 20 Club I attend?
While there are many factors that will determine where a dealership is placed (volume, profitability, location, single or multiple dealerships, etc.), every effort will be made to put a dealer in a group where they A. fit, and B. want to be.
What is the cost to be in a 20 Club?
Participation in a 20-Club costs $679 per month for your first dealership, paid quarterly. This is exclusive of meeting costs and travel expenses. Secondary stores or reporting stores pay $469 per month, per dealer, paid quarterly
- Meeting costs typically include meeting space, breakfast, lunch, group dinners, and transportation divided by all dealers in attendance.
- Travel expenses, including flight, transportation, hotel room, and any other expensed incurred are the responsibility of the dealers in attendance.
There is also a cost to complete our Financial Boot Camp Class for each new expected member and the store's data input person. The cost is $2500 and covers attendance for the new member and data input person to attend 2.5 days of class with our dedicated onboarding team. In the class, dealers will be mapping their data directly from their DMS into the Garage Composites portal through APIs. The dealers will also learn all about what each input means and why we track them for analysis. The Financial Boot Camp includes a mock 20-club session to understand how a 20 Club meeting will be conducted.
Where do the 20 Club meetings take place?
Most Garage Composites 20 Club meetings are held in Denver, Colorado.
Can I bring my General Manager with me or in my place?
General Managers are allowed to participate in a 20 Club, but they must be voted into the group along with the owner. In addition, know that your managers will be exposed to ALL conversations, including poor performance and payroll discussions and they must be able to make all decisions for the dealership if they are to attend in place of an owner.
Are there dealership visitations involved in the 20 Club experience?
That answer is based on the groups' decision. If a 20 Club group decides that there is a need or desire to visit a member’s dealership, the group will meet in the location of the dealership visitation instead of Denver.
