Dealers use “grosses” to mean the money they make from selling cars (and sometimes add-ons). It’s a main number they watch to see if deals are profitable.

CPRO is a way dealers measure marketing efficiency. It’s basically how much it costs to generate a good chance of selling a car to a real buyer.
