800% Elite Automotive Club

What 800% Elite Automotive Club does

800% Elite Automotive Club is a privately held membership-based training and coaching organization serving North American automotive dealerships, primarily those selling between 50 and 250 vehicles per month across the United States and Canada. The company was founded and is led by Glenn Lundy, a two-time Chevy Dealer of the Year award winner who grew a single dealership 800% over five years, and his personal brand and credibility function as the principal acquisition channel and trust anchor for the business. The product suite is delivered through the 800% Club University Training Dashboard and a proprietary mobile application (available on iOS and Android), complemented by a Private Facebook Community for peer networking, semi-annual all-inclusive in-person retreats, and weekly live Q&A video calls.

The core platform is built around three tiered subscription packages — Virtual Success ($3,500/month or $38,500/year), Expert Collaboration ($6,000/month or $60,000/year), and In-Store Excellence ($12,000/month or $100,000/year, capped at 10 dealerships per year) — combined with module-based training programs for specific dealership functions (Owner/GM, F&I, Sales, BDC/Operations, Leaders, Acquisition). ALAINA, an Automotive Learning AI Networked Assistant trained on thousands of hours of proprietary content, books, speaking events, and recorded dealer conversations, is included in all tiers and provides text-based retrieval of training material with references to source content.

The go-to-market motion is sales-led and community-driven: dealer prospects are acquired through the founder's personal brand (keynotes, books, media features), event attendance, and referrals from a network described as exceeding 100 dealerships, then converted via consultation-led direct sales. Reported customer outcomes include an average 25% sales increase within the first 90 days of membership, with named case studies at Jack Kain Ford (136% sales increase in 90 days), Motor City LA (156%, 106%, and 112% over three consecutive months), and Strosnider Chevrolet (50% sales increase in 90 days). The company does not disclose revenue, headcount, or funding; it operates without disclosed institutional investment.

Others

• CDK Global: Major dealership software and technology provider (DMS, CRM, websites); adjacent ecosystem participant rather than a training peer, but comparable as a subscription vendor into the same North American dealer base.
• Reynolds and Reynolds: Long-established provider of DMS, F&I, and document services to franchised dealers; an adjacent technology/services vendor into the same dealership market rather than a coaching competitor.
• VinSolutions: Dealer CRM and marketing platform sold as a subscription to franchised dealerships; an adjacent infrastructure provider rather than a training competitor, but relevant as a comparable subscription vendor into the same buyer.

Broad incumbents

• Cox Automotive: Broad incumbent providing dealership software, marketing, and operational solutions (Dealertrack, Autotrader, Kelley Blue Book, etc.); overlaps with dealership training/advisory broadly but does not specialize in owner/GM coaching.
• National Automobile Dealers Association (NADA): Trade association serving franchised new-car dealers with education, training, and compliance programs — a broader incumbent in the same training/education category rather than a direct subscription competitor.

• Joe Verde Group: Long-standing automotive sales and sales-management training company selling subscription-based training, workshops, and coaching to dealerships — the closest direct comparable to 800% Elite Automotive Club's training and coaching model.
• NCM Associates: Established dealership management training and 20-group coaching organization serving franchised dealers across North America; competes for the same dealership-owner wallet share on management and operations training.
• Dave Cantin Group: Provides coaching, consulting, and advisory services to automotive dealership owners and dealer groups, including leadership and performance programs — directly comparable in target buyer and premium coaching format.
• Dealer Synergy: Provides BDC, sales, and internet training/outsourcing services to automotive dealerships, often packaged as recurring subscriptions — directly comparable in dealership-training vertical and subscription GTM.
• PCG Digital: Brian Pasch's firm sells training, coaching, and certification programs to automotive dealers on digital marketing, sales, and leadership — a comparable premium training/coaching subscription business targeting the same buyer.
