Franchise wins second 3-day cruise By Jason Killough  | | Spencer Sutton of Oak Partners, Birmingham, AL, has referred his way to two free cruises! | | HVA's Franchise Development Department's Waves of Success cruise winner for the first quarter of 2006 is Spencer Sutton of Oak Partners, Birmingham, AL. Spencer referred Barry Russell of Cross Capital Partners, Atlanta, GA. Sutton also referred a franchisee to HomeVestors in the first quarter of 2005, and won a cruise in last year's contest! There's no greater compliment to HomeVestors than knowing an existing franchisee is willing to refer us to a future franchisee. In addition to the three-day cruise for two (roundtrip airfare included), Sutton also received an advertising credit, as a result of the referral. His name also will be entered in the grand prize drawing at the HomeVestors annual convention in Dallas, where one franchisee will win a seven-day cruise for two. HomeVestors franchises are awarded an advertising credit in the amount of $3,500 for each successful referral that becomes a new office ($2,500 for each transfer). Each successful referral equals one entry into the Waves of Success cruise giveaway during the quarter that the new franchise sale is complete. In order to qualify for the credit and the cruise, you must register the referral by completing the Prospect Referral Form on the HVA Web site. This form can be found on the Franchise Operations page under Forms and Documents. Both you and your prospect must complete and sign the form for it to be valid. Additionally, the prospect must come to us as a direct result of the referring franchisee – in other words, the prospect found HVA because of the referring franchisee. HVA has had seven franchise referrals in the first quarter (through the end of March 2006) that resulted in new franchise sales and transfers. Thank you for your referrals! We look forward to sending you numerous advertising credits and registering you for the Waves of Success cruise giveaway this year. . . . Jason Killough is HVA's director of franchise development.
