Paper open house sign-in sheet vs. QR sign-in
Most open houses still start with a clipboard by the door. It works, and it costs nothing. Here is what changes when visitors sign in on their own phone instead.
Side by side
| What you need | By hand | With Zallant |
|---|---|---|
| Getting the details right | You read their handwriting later and hope the email is real. | Visitors type their own details on their phone, or on a tablet by the door. |
| Knowing who is serious | You remember what people said, if you can. | Two or three questions of your choice, like "Are you working with an agent?", saved with each visitor. |
| The thank-you | You type each email that evening. | A thank-you goes out in your name right away, with the listing link. Visitors who already have an agent get only the thank-you. |
| The follow-up | A reminder on your calendar, if you set one. | A day 7 check-in goes out on its own, and stops once you have reached them. |
| Telling the seller | You count the names on the sheet. | A seller report with how many people came and what they said, ready to send. |
| Your list later | A folder of paper sheets. | Every visitor in Leads, searchable, and you can download it as a spreadsheet any time. |
When doing it by hand is fine
Paper is fine for a quiet open house where you know most of the visitors, or if you already type up every sheet the same day.
