I recommend going to Har.com and checking out their class calendar, and/or check in with your broker, and title companies for more support and development!
Don’t forget to practice safety during the open houses. I know safety techniques are highlighted at the HAR open house classes.
As others have mentioned try to get a colleague to host the open house with you. I also try to get a family member to hang out inside the house as a potential buyer as well as walk the property and be my eyes and ears.
I wish you well in the business. Let me know if I can help you in anyway.
Superb advice by all professionals! Also, make sure you view all the Safety Videos on the HAR website. Teaming up with another Realtor during an Open House is always a good idea.
When visitors arrive at your open house, give each person at least a moment of your full attention, even if they aren't necessarily serious about buying. Engaging with these individuals is still essential because they may have an interest in another house you're currently selling. Their presence at this open house gives you the perfect opportunity to tell them about a similar listing or perhaps put them on your contact list if they ever want to sell their own house. Also, you can watch You tube videos, some agents shares very helpful tips.
Welcome to the biz! Ask an agent in your office if you can shadow or co-host with them on their next open house, so that you may obtain a first hand view on how it may be down. Be sure to ask questions.
In addition to what our colleagues recommended, you can also check with your broker and find out if they offer training (good brokers do) and find out if you may shadow a seasoned agent from your brokerage during an open house to learn

I recommend going to Har.com and checking out their class calendar. In there, you can find TOOOOOONS of free classes.
Knowledge is power
Few things before Open House:
- Create a flyer and share it in neighborhood FB and area specific groups
- Reverse prospecting- love this tool. I send open house information to all agents through reverse prospecting
- Day of Open House
Ensure all junctions nearby have Open House signs
Turn down AC, open all blinds, turn on lights, keep flyers ready, greet visitors, give them tour for property, keep a log for visitors. I also keep snacks and water.
Hopefully above tips will help you. Open House with other realtor initially may help too.
