15 For ’15: Franchise Pros to Follow on Social

If you’re involved in marketing, management, or sales for a franchise brand, I recommend connecting with these 15 industry professionals on any social channel and follow their updates.

These pros come from all areas including operations, sales, executive management, and more. They may work as franchisors or consultants or suppliers. However, they all have one thing in common: they share great ideas about franchising and other business topics every day on their social media channels.
