## Resource

Stop treating Open Houses like a waste of time. In this episode of The Lab, powerhouse coach Sherri Johnson (CEO, Sherri Johnson Coaching) reveals why the Open House is the "GOAT" lead generation strategy if you do it right. Sherri breaks down the exact system she used to sell 5 homes in her first month (4 from a single open house!) and how she grew a brokerage from $500M to $2B. She shares the specific scripts to get neighbors to sign in, how to use the "Switch Sheet" to book appointments for that same afternoon, and why you should never just say "Hi" at the door. If you want to turn a 2-hour open house into 3-4 solid listing appointments, this is your blueprint. 🔥 KEY TAKEAWAYS: ✅ The "Neighbor" Strategy: Why neighbors are your best listing leads (and how to convert them). ✅ The "Switch Sheet": How to book a showing for 4:15 PM the same day using your laptop. ✅ The 3 Value Adds: The exact script to get a seller to invite you over *before* they are ready to list. ✅ The "Bad Lead" Myth: Why you are losing money by ignoring 6-month-out buyers. ✅ Security Script: How to get everyone to sign in without being awkward.
