SmartGroups is expanding its 20 group program for dealerships into the buy-here, pay-here and lease-here, pay-here spaces.

The company said on Thursday that its inaugural meetings for these new groups are scheduled for October in Charlotte, N.C.

“At SmartGroups, we are committed to providing our members with the peer collaboration, tools and eco-system they need to excel in a competitive market,” SmartGroups founder and CEO Justin Osburn said in a news release.

“The expansion of our 20 group program to include BHPH and LHPH groups is a direct response to the evolving needs of the industry. We believe these new groups will offer unparalleled support and opportunities for growth for our members,” Osburn continued.

The SmartGroups 20 group program has been a cornerstone of the company’s success, bringing together like-minded professionals to share best practices, discuss challenges and develop strategies for success.

With the addition of BHPH and LHPH groups, SmartGroups aims to provide targeted support for these specific segments of the automotive retail market.

The BHPH 20 group will focus on the unique challenges and opportunities faced by BHPH dealerships, including collections, compliance, and customer retention strategies.

The first BHPH group meeting will be held Oct. 21-23 at the Hyatt Centric in Charlotte.

Similarly, the LHPH 20 group will address the specific needs of LHPH dealerships, with a focus on lease structuring, risk management and market expansion.

The first LHPH group meeting will take place October 23-25, also at the Hyatt Centric in Charlotte.

Members will have access to exclusive data through Osburn’s proprietary 20 group software called LinUs as well as a network of peers who are committed to mutual success.

“We are thrilled to launch these new groups and look forward to welcoming our members to Charlotte in October,” Osburn said. “This expansion is just the beginning, and we are excited about the future of SmartGroups and the impact we can have on the industry.”
