Education CRM for New Zealand PTEs, Higher Education and Training Providers

Student recruitment should not need a CRM specialist

SELMA’s education CRM helps teams manage enquiries, applications, offers and enrolments in one place, with automated follow-ups and clear pipeline visibility from first contact to enrolment.

Lead management

Capture leads from your forms, campaigns and enquiries, and move them through a clear pipeline from new to engaged to closed. Every lead shows who owns it and how long it has been open, so nothing sits untouched.

  • Pipeline view with New, Engaged and Closed stages and live totals for open, successful and unsuccessful leads
  • An owner on every lead, with the number of days it has been open
  • Mark leads as converted or lost to keep conversion figures accurate

Follow up every lead on time and always know where your pipeline stands.
