After training is completed, how long will it take to open the business?We provide a check sheet of things to do before business open which is a list of common items needed to open the business. This list will take about 3-6 weeks to complete, if you are working the business full time. During that time, we suggest assembling and disassembling a couple of practice turbines, we provide, per week for practice. What is the normal progression of the business in the first few years? Would you suggest doing dental handpiece repair in a mobile vehicle?Comfort--You would need to have everything secured, good lighting, air compressor, generator, computer, printer, all of your tools/parts secured, etc. I think it would be extremely difficult to make your work space in a vehicle comfortable, not to mention the unnecessary costs of this vehicle and its preparation. Customer reaction--The average highspeed with practice will take about fifteen minutes to repair. Here is a common scenario; you go to a dentist's office, and pick-up 3 highspeeds, then you go out and sit in there parking lot to do the repair. You go back inside there office 45 minutes later, and present them with a $450 plus bill. I will just about guarantee you will get comments, like wow you never left the parking lot, and you want $450 plus dollars.Limiting of your capacity--Trying to drive around and pick-up and repair all your handpieces will prematurely max out the amount of handpieces you can repair in a day. We suggest personal pick-up and drop off in the beginning, but as you become busy and your account base grows, you will be able to repair more than 5 to 10 times the amount of handpieces if you were not trying to do all of them in a mobile van. Over time, you can begin to do your pick ups or return deliveries, as you are too busy, through FedEx and US Postal Service Priority Mail. To us, the goal over time is to have the handpieces mailed to us and for us to mail them back to the customer. You would not be able to repair anywhere near the number of handpieces mobile, as you would by managing pick-ups/returns through couriers, and repairing the handpieces in your home. Double shop tooling--Lowspeeds are more complicated and some require glue set time, therefore, I would assume you would want a repair office in your house to do the more complicated lowspeeds in a more comfortable setting. Then, would you buy 2 sets of tools for the mobile shop and the home shop, or would you be carrying them back and forth each time? We offer next day service on highspeed drills and 2-3 day service on lowspeeds, and if we need extra time for some reason on a particular handpiece, the dentist offices are not concerned. In most markets, traditionally over many years the only source for handpiece repair has been the manufacturers and catalog companies, who have gotten better with increased competition, however, they have usually taken 2-6 weeks for a repair. What you would offer as an independent sales and repair center to the dentist is a local alternative which through a combination of speed, price, and service would be a better option than the manufacturers and catalog companies who now do the majority of the business. Most dentists who are currently using a national competitor would be trading someone who takes weeks to someone who takes days.Also, dentists are not stopping their work due to a single handpiece going down. Each chair or station could have up to 15 different handpieces including highspeeds, lowspeed motors, nosecones, prophys, and contra angles. The sterilization cycle in the Autoclaves and Chemclaves will take about 30 minutes to cycle fully. It is extremely rare that we pick up a handpiece and a dentist says he is hurting for that single handpiece. Who is my competition in this business?Manufacturers of the handpieces including Midwest, Star, Kavo, NSK, etc. Their average repair time is 2-6 weeks, and they charge 100% or more than we charge. Catalog or Mail order companies such as Sullivan-Schein, Patterson, Darby, etc. Their average repair time is 1-2 weeks with shipping, and we under price them on repairs and equipment. Local independent companies, and franchisees. What type of handpieces and models will I learn to repair?Highspeed Dental Handpiece Drills Lowspeed Dental Handpieces Ultra-Sonic ScalersNosecones, contra angles, and other attachments Can you describe the products and services offered to dentists?A much quicker repair serviceA higher level of customer service with a local company including quick and easy pick-ups and drop offs.A lower price or similar price depending on which of the national competitors the dentist is using. Can you describe what Orion Repair is offering to open this business?Suggested parts suppliers, how to set up your wholesale accounts, our preferences for parts and suppliesOur marketing flyers, brochures, postcards, catalogs and other marketing related items. We provide those to you on computer CD and train you how to use the small business publishing program we use in order for you to remove our information and replace it with your company information, as well as, how to create your own marketing material.A hands on intensive training course that is taught one on one with a factory trained instructorAccounting and marketing training and set-up3 years of Free telephone/retraining support 10 years of Free e-mail supportInstruction in shop and office set upInstruction in how to solicit Federal business including military bases, VA hospitals, and prisonsPractice motors for use at home3 Training ManualsComputer CD with digital graphicsDiagramsShop tooling and parts inventory can be purchased with training courses or we provide a list of the suggested items Can you describe a typical transaction for this business?We take the handpieces completely apart, to clean, flush, and polish the handpiece both internally and externally.We repair and replace the dental turbine including various parts including bearings, orings, gaskets, washers, chucks, spindles, etc., We run various tests after completion to ensure the handpiece is running like new again.A Service Requested Form which is the form next time they have handpieces to be repaired they can put the make, model, serial number, problem encountered, and the doctor's information.A Maintenance Form which gives the office some tips on lubrication and handling in the office.Various goodies or freebies including logo pens, logo note pads for their desks, logo rolodex cards, candies, and various other promotional items. What if I get something odd to repair, like an ancient belt driven handpiece, or if I only came to you for highspeed handpiece training, how would I repair lowspeed or odd models?You would always offer Free estimates on all makes and models. You would be able to repair any handpiece either in house or by mailing them off to various companies we recommend depending on the handpiece or equipment. If you came to us for only the highspeed training course, you would still be able to accept and repair all makes and models for your customers. You would not reject any handpiece from your customer, but instead offer Free estimates on all makes and models. You would repair the highspeeds in house, and you would send the lowspeeds off for repair. Lowspeeds generally take longer than highspeeds to repair, and your customers would not need to know that you send out some models, while doing some models in house. We still mail off some handpieces for repair, for various reasons from discontinued lines, to some surgical models, and some other specific need handpieces. Any handpiece or equipment you mail off would receive a wholesale repair price, that you would then mark up to a retail price. Will I be able to repair or sell small equipment or dental chairs?Yes, you will be an authorized distributor for many vendors including DCI, the premier dental chair and equipment manufacturer. We provide a source to repair every handpiece made. If you can't do it in house, we have a source that can repair any odd model. We give you everything we use to run our business, and show you how to set up your relationship with many companies in this industry from original manufacturers, parts companies, repair companies, and other related companies that you may use occasionally over time. Can you come to my location to offer training?Yes, we can travel to your location to offer training. For an additional $5,000 fee we will travel to a mutually convenient location in your local area, such as a hotel conference center to conduct your training courses. Also, for an additional $1,000 we can provide design and set up assistance for your shop and office. How long is the training day?Paul will meet you in the lobby of your hotel the first morning of training at 8:30am to give you an orientation on the town, and some lunch/dinner suggestions. We will begin training each day, after the first day, at 8:30am.If your arrival is delayed or late the day before training, we can begin at 9am on the first morning of training to accommodate for jetlag and/or international travel.If you need to leave on the 6th day of training a flight can be scheduled for the mid to late afternoon.

We provide a checksheet of things to do before opening which is a list of common items needed to open the business. This list will take about 3-6 weeks to complete, if you are working the business full time. During that time, we suggest assembling and disassembling a couple of turbines per week for practice.
