Today we’ve got a year-end wrap up with our Rock Stars Paul Pickett, CDO of Wild Birds Unlimited, Susan Boresow, CEO of Massage Heights, Diane Phibbs, EVP and CCO of Franchise Update Media, and Matt Haller, CEO of the International Franchise Association.

We’re reviewing 2022 and looking ahead at Business and Franchising in 2023. The panel discusses areas where they’re focusing and deploying resources for franchise development, marketing, and staffing. And we’ll make some predictions about the economy, sales, government, multi-unit and multi-brand franchise systems, social media, and more.
