This is why our territories are sometimes two to three times as large as our competitors' territories. We try to keep our franchise numbers to a minimum, so that each protected franchise territory has an ample supply of dentist accounts. We even encourage you to enlarge your territory. Many good locations still remain, so seize the opportunity and contact us today.
There are many reasons to own a franchise.
As a franchisee, we offer you the ability to buy parts directly from us. We have access to all manufacturers' parts and products, some of which are not available elsewhere. We buy parts in large quantities, which gives us the ability to sell individual parts to you at a lower cost than other suppliers. In addition, we offer a 5% discount on all parts and products ordered by our franchisees.
 Shamrock Dental offers the most comprehensive training program in the industry. Training takes place at our headquarters in St. Petersburg, Florida, lasts a full two weeks, and encompasses everything including business techniques, customer support, hands-on repair training, and many other relevant subjects:
- Marketing Techniques - time-honored methods that are proven to work, such as how to approach a dentist and how to be successful at local or state dental meetings.
- General Business Techniques - including dos and don'ts of setting up your business.
- Competition - who else is out there and how to successfully compete with them.
- Profit and Margin Session - including setting goals, identifying your potential in any given dental office, and preparing a 1-3 year marketing plan.
- Information on what services and assistance you can expect from us - including a list of companies that you may choose from for instance liability insurance, Visa/Master Card, a disk of names, addresses and phone numbers of all your accounts, a complete computer program on your business, part suppliers, printing, and much more; plus we provide you with an expert technician to visit your facility and guide you on all aspects of your investment.
- Our proprietary Shamrock Dental operations manual - considered to be the best in the business and available only through us.
As a franchisee, you will receive the Shamrock Dental Training Manual (widely considered to be the most comprehensive manual in existence, including over 90 hard-to-find illustrated breakdowns of handpieces and accessories), our umbrella of companies that you may choose from for instance liability insurance, a Visa/Master Card, a disk of names, addresses and phone numbers of all your accounts, a complete computer program for your business, part supplier lists, printing information, and more.
Shamrock Dental offers you excellent support and backing. Support and communication are essential for success in this business. You will receive access to our newsletters. We offer home office training sessions on new products, which are always an anticipated, though optional event. We keep you up-to-date on new and different products and innovations. If there are any new products on the market, we will inform you of them. After 40 years of dental experience, Shamrock Dental is assuredly your best source of industry information.
As a part of Shamrock Dental, you will be part of a nationally recognized team. All members use the same literature, business cards, etc. All that is required is your contact information. We give you access to other companies for various reasons, including companies that will repair items that are not feasible for you to repair, insurance companies, software companies, and others.
If you ever decide to sell your business, a franchise will be much easier to sell due to the fact that more people feel comfortable buying a franchised business that has already proven to be successful. You will have more to sell than just a business - the buyer will also receive our unlimited telephone support for repair walkthroughs, access to our large and competitively priced parts supply, and our operations manual, among many other attractions.
