Bob Clements International

What Bob Clements International does

Bob Clements International, Inc. (BCI) is a privately held, family-owned dealership consulting and training company headquartered in Kansas City, Missouri. The firm specializes exclusively in farm and equipment dealerships, providing advisory services, training content, marketing execution, and peer-group programs aimed at improving operational performance across the parts, service, sales, and management departments of dealer clients across North America.

The core product portfolio consists of three tiers. Dealer Success Groups is the flagship $839/month subscription, bundling peer group meetings, one-on-one advisor sessions, live monthly workshops, and access to the BCI Hiring Program. BCI Dealer Toolbox is a $99/month self-serve online portal containing over 200 templates and 75+ on-demand training modules covering departmental operations. Service Manager Certification is a one-time credentialing program positioned as an associate's-degree equivalent for service department leaders, while a $995 Off-Season Service Marketing Package delivers transactional marketing assets. Delivery is supplemented by live channels including regional one-day Bootcamps, live-stream Parts Training, on-site dealer visits, National Meetings, and tradeshow presence.

BCI monetizes through a mix of subscription recurring revenue and one-time service fees, with no proprietary technology platform and no AI/ML product layer identified. GTM combines sales-led advisor motions (an application and advisor meeting precedes DSG enrollment), community-led peer engagement inside Dealer Success Groups, and event-driven awareness through Bootcamps and dealer visits. The company runs a small specialist team led by founder Bob Clements (Owner, Advisor, Speaker), Sandy Clements (Owner, Operations Manager), Sara Clements-Hey (President), and supporting advisors and hiring specialists, with no external investors or funding rounds disclosed.

Direct peers

• Dave Cantin Group: Dealership-focused advisory and M&A firm offering consulting and transaction services to dealership owners. Comparable to BCI in serving dealership principals with high-touch advisory and recurring engagement.
• NCM Associates: Long-established management consulting and training firm focused on dealership operations and fixed ops profitability for automotive dealers. Comparable to BCI in its consulting-led, content-rich approach to dealer performance improvement.
• Automotive Training Institute: Subscription-based training and consulting company serving automotive dealership owners and managers, with a similar advisor-led model, monthly peer group meetings, and a templates-driven online portal. Closest comparable in business model to BCI, operating in an adjacent dealership vertical.
• Kerrigan Advisors: Independent dealership advisory and M&A firm serving auto dealers and dealer groups with consulting, valuation, and succession services. Comparable in serving owner-operators with strategic advisory beyond commodity services.

Broad incumbents

• Reynolds and Reynolds: Provider of dealer management systems and supporting services to franchised dealers. Overlaps with BCI on dealer operational enablement but competes primarily through enterprise software rather than content and coaching.
• North American Equipment Dealers Association: Industry association representing agricultural and outdoor power equipment dealers with training, advocacy, and member services. Directly overlaps BCI's farm equipment dealer customer base and provides some educational content, but as a member-driven body rather than a paid consulting firm.
• Cox Automotive: Large incumbent ecosystem of dealer software, training, and services for automotive retailers. Comparable in addressing dealer operational performance, but at significantly larger scale and as part of a broader technology and services portfolio.
• Associated Equipment Distributors: Trade association serving equipment distributors and dealers with education, training, and member services. Adjacent to BCI's customer base (equipment dealers) and offers overlapping training, but as a non-profit membership organization rather than a commercial subscription business.
