To create a Benchmark, NCM calculates the average of the top half of the best performers of all clients reporting for a particular franchise. Additionally, all of our composites, including some non-automotive versions, include our Benchmark-driven Reality Check where we measure more than 50 key items in a composite that, we believe, determine how well a dealership is performing overall. In the Reality Check, when a cell is green, a dealer is exceeding the Benchmark. When a cell is red, the dealer is performing below average.NCM offers a wide variety of automotive and industry Benchmark tools in easy-to-use print and digital formats. We provide 20 Group clients with a custom monthly composite—and the training they need to make the most of it—as part of their membership.
