Owner Automotive Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "We stand behind Selly CRM!" October 14, 2020 5.0 We are able to easily contact and manage prospects with this user friendly CRM. It's clean, easy to use and easy to understand. Pros The best part of this software is that is has ALL of the functionality of ANY Automotive CRM for a fraction of the cost. Cons There are a few minor features missing from the software, however these are all confirmed to be works in progress at this time! Reason for choosing Selly Automotive Nearly all the same features, 1/10th of the price. Mainly, Selly is built with the power of large dealership CRM for the smaller independent budget. Switched from [Dealer Car Search](https://www.capterra.com/p/169090/Dealer-Car-Search/) Much better interface and more CRM driven. DealerCarSearch is a website company. Selly is a CRM company.

Pros \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] has been fantastic from install- live usage. The product has surpassed all expectations, as well as \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] our Customer Support and Training expert, between the actual product and personel, Selly Automotive has delivered 200%.

Assistant Manager Automotive Used the software for: 2+ years ### "They're amazing" November 15, 2018 4.0 I really really like Selly, it's a great starter CRM, and I'm positive they'll get better as they grow. There's a couple hitches here and there but support helps you through everything. I've yet to find anyone who offers all the products that Selly does for as an affordable price. ex. On the higher end, Dealer Socket was a bit better as a CRM in a few aspects. Still, Selly proved to be as good in many cases (and in a few I liked Selly better), while Dealer Socket had a price tag at least 3 times as expensive; given you get the cheaper package. On the lower end of the CRM spectrum, Dealer Car Search was cheaper but WOW their CRM is terrible, absolutely terrible.. I'm not here to review Dealer Car Search, but they offered less than what Selly does, which would be fine honestly, if what they offer actually worked.. but I couldn't send an email!! How can you not send an email through a CRM that you are paying to be able to send emails! And support knew ABSOLUTELY zero, I kept getting bounced around to different departments and they kept trying to blame other services, wow, I'm sorry, I'm not here to talk about Dealer Car Search, but I guess I bring all this up to say that you get what you pay for except in the case of Selly Selly has a couple bugs they need to work out (the slowness is HUGE) but all in all, I'm going to repeat what I said earlier because I think that's the best description; I have yet to find a CRM that is as good as Selly for as low a price. Pros I'm going to just list some reasons off: - Their app is amazing - They offer call recording and texting (both calling and texting are through a forwarding number, ie. The number the customer is contacting is contacting is dialed 123-456-7890 but the call gets forwarded to either the customers assigned sales rep or to the dealership; whatever you have set up) - The texting is compliant - They can set up automated emails, and have templates for those emails - The CRM is smart enough to recognize when a customer inquires multiple times (whether the customer inquires about multiple cars, through multiple lead sources, or a mixture of both) and accumulates all of the inquiries under the same customer - CUSTOMER SUPPORT IS AMAZING, they're extremely helpful and the CRM itself is always improving. On multiple occasions, I'll bring up an issue that I'm dealing with to support and they'll roll around with their next update that fixes the issue. Unbelievably helpful, I can't recommend them enough Those are the things that stand out the most to me, I would definitely recommend them, absolutely. Cons \- The slowness and the crashing!! This is huge! Definitely has gotten in the way multiple times. If this was fixed I don't think I'd ever need to look into another CRM, but we've run into a couple of obstacles because of the slowness of the app as well as the desktop that definitely hurt efficiency, and also makes it harder and therefore less likely for my salespeople to use the CRM - The app doesn't have as much functionality as the website - Also email templates could use some work Review Source Response from A1 Software Group January 4, 2019 Hi Anna, someone from our team will reach out to you soon.

March 28, 2024 5.0 WE HAVE HAD AN OVERALL EXCELLENT EXPERIENCE USING SELLY AUTOMOTIVE. Pros SELLY AUTOMOTIVE CRM SAVES BOTH TIME & MONEY. I APPRECIATE THE QUALITY OF THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE & TECH SUPPORT!! \[sensitive content hidden\] AND \[sensitive content hidden\] (TECH) WERE ABLE TO DILIGENTLY RESOLVE A DIFFICULT FACEBOOK TECHNICAL ISSUE FOR US FOR WHICH WE ARE EXTREMELY GRATEFUL. Cons I WISH THERE WAS A BETTER WAY TO ADDRESS CO-BUYERS IN THE CRM & A EASIER FORMAT FOR INPUTTING DATE OF BIRTHS. Review Source AS Andy S. Marketing Director Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Probably the worst CRM when it comes to Marketing and Sales Automation. " January 25, 2018 1.0 Pros I was forced to like this CRM due to the lack of a better option, however over months of trying to make things work smoothly and on auto pilot, I have completely gave up on this CRM. On the surface, everything looks fine. Sales Manager can even monitor activities, however, everything needs to be done manually. It is a great platform for those who enjoy manual labour a lot and there is nothing wrong with that. Cons Selly Automotive is probably the worst choice for a car dealer due to it's lack of Lead Automation capabilities. ADF/XML feed that this CRM is relying on requires a 3rd party integration. In this day and age when 90% of car dealers using Facebook advertising in their customer acquisition strategy, no way this CRM is useful, because every Lead has to be entered manually and processed by the sales team manually, without ANY automation whatsoever. Selly CRM is good for Sales Teams used to manual labour and lots of hard work, trying to locate when and where the lead has come from. Technical support is pretty much absent and non-responsive. Toll free number is not working. For the amount of money this CRM is asking to pay small car dealers, a lot more can be done to simplify Lead Generation process. Review Source cV chris V.

Sales Manager Automotive Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Good CRM" February 7, 2018 4.0 Easy to use, keeps customer and inventory information, is on your phone so you always have it, it's free! Pros I use the free version of the CRM and it works good. You can add customers and inventory and notes. Easy to use. Review Source CM Christie M. Vice President Automotive Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Excellent Products" August 11, 2020 5.0 Selly has given my dealership the ability to respond and manage our leads in a timely manner in an organized, customized, and efficient method. Pros Selly has manufactured a technology product that is ideal for the independent auto dealer. It is user friendly, easily integrated with other software my dealership uses, and their customer service is top-notch. Cons It would be great to be able to schedule sales associates days off of round-robin on a monthly basis instead of having to manually click their names off when they are off. Switched from [Auto/Mate](https://www.capterra.com/p/51450/DealerSocket/) Price Ease of use More manageable Customer service Review Source JV Jonathan V. Sales Manager Automotive Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Night and Day difference after using Selly" July 31, 2022 5.0 We struggled to keep track of our leads as well as follow-ups. No dealer or sales rep likes to hear that a customer went somewhere else after finding a lead or forgetting about one. Been very happy with it all. Pros This was our first CRM software. It helps my sales reps keep track of who they're talking to, follow up with leads easier, and how they can better assist on a second follow-up call. It helps a manager keep tabs on whats going on with a quick peek into the system. Cons So far, everything with the software has been great Review Source BP Brooks P. Internet Manager Automotive Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Excellent Customer Service & CRM Software" May 25, 2021 5.0 Selly has great customer service and our sales representative \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] has been top notch at helping solve any issues we have had. 5 stars for \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\]! Pros The software makes it easier for sales people to receive leads and contact customers with ease. The software has helped generate more sales and more efficient communication with clients. Cons The only software update I would like to see at the moment is to have round robin with Facebook messenger leads. Review Source JS Jim S.

August 16, 2016 5.0 Jackson and the Support team, Thank you! Quick response time with any issue, minor bugs, that came up. I'm on EST in the lovely state of WV and Jackson made himself available to me at my time, my shift, between customers... That is important. I was even able to text him if I didn't have time to talk. Minor bugs were addressed faster then I had anticipated. I can't say enough. Thank you again to everyone involved. The ease of being able to add customers, deals, inventory, and to know any concern I have will be addressed quickly and professionally is incredibly satisfyingly. Pros I can perform any part of the Sales Process from the palm of my hand. Adding a customers, inventory, and deals simply with the use of the built-in driver's license and vin scanner. This app is a must have for anyone in Automotive Sales, and Management. Customer service is top notch, quick response time with any questions or concern. Thank you Selly Team!
