Why is lead generation in direct selling harder than ever and what is actually working now? In this episode of the Direct Approach podcast, Wayne Moorehead sits down with Amanda Tress, Founder and CEO of FASTer Way to Fat Loss, to break down how lead generation, social selling strategy and AI-driven marketing are evolving in today’s direct selling landscape.

She explains how algorithm changes, AI-generated content and shifting buyer behavior are forcing companies to rethink how they attract and convert customers.
