In this episode of the Modern Direct Seller Podcast, we’re hanging out with three of our Academy VIP members—Cindy Ortiz, Mary Sarah Hoole, and Amy Colbert—for a real, behind-the-scenes chat on balancing relationships with marketing automation. From in-person events and referrals to websites, lead magnets, and email marketing, they share what’s actually working for them right now. We talk about showing up authentically, focusing on consistency (not perfection), and building a business that feels sustainable without relying only on social media. It’s packed with ideas and encouragement you can put into action today!

Want to connect with today’s guests? You’ll find Cindy at cindyortiz.net, Amy over at amycolbertbeauty.com, and Mary Sarah at legallyscented.com. Be sure to check them out and see how they’re building their brands in their own unique ways!
