The team behind the scenes
Mike Moran
Founder
After graduating college in Food Service and Hospitality Management, Mike headed for
the car business and in 1981 started selling new Chevrolets. He quickly moved into management and took a job running the Chevy dealership for Mr. Larry Faul. Within a year,
Mike and his new team moved Faul Chevrolet’s Chicago Zone ranking from 38th up to
Number 3. Mike personally engaged with customers, listening to their comments and
made significant changes that created a fun and exciting customer experience. In the
mid 90’s, Mike left the Dealership and created a CRM integrated with a BDC. In 1999 he
launched Auto-e-Direct Inc. and for the next several years Mike would modify his
CRM/BDC model to include marketing applications. In 2008, Mike launched The Selmor
Group LLC. and Selmor on Demand Inc., offering Dealer’s and business owners a CRM/BDC tool integrated with E-mail and Direct Mail marketing. Mike and his business partner
and son John, identified the need to incorporate Video with their offerings. Then it happened, in 2013 they designed and built the first Mobile Interactive Video messaging
platform and Thank You Video was born.
