During this week&rsquo;s podcast, Evans gave listeners a preview of what she was discussing during one of FranTech&rsquo;s many roundtable discussions. She highlighted the benefits that franchisors and franchisees receive from using Facebook Live, and explained how brands can work the tool into their business models to reach more candidates and customers.

&ldquo;I think with franchisors, and any franchises, the best thing about Facebook Live is it&rsquo;s one of those platforms where you can be spontaneous. It&rsquo;s like, woah! We&rsquo;ve got a customer in here, at our site right now that wants to give a customer testimonial. Grab it on video, open up Facebook Live. New employees, new products, new services, give a tour,&quot; Evans said.
