App Master

Role Overview

As App Master, you give a brief sales pitch for a useful mobile app or digital tool. Think of it as convincing fellow members why they should check out an app you love - whether through demonstration or description.

Choosing Your App

What Works Well

• Mobile Apps: Focus on phone-based apps you can demonstrate easily
• Personal Use: Pick something you actually use and find valuable
• Broad Appeal: Consider what might help multiple club members
• Demonstration-Friendly: Choose apps with clear visual features

Good Categories

• Productivity and organization
• Communication and networking
• Learning and skill development
• Creative tools and utilities
• Health and wellness apps

Apps to Consider

Lesser-known but useful apps like:

• Note-taking with special features
• Task management with unique approaches
• Photo editing with creative tools
• Language learning apps
• Meditation or habit-tracking apps

Preparation

Before the Meeting

1. Prepare Your Pitch: Plan how to sell the app's benefits
2. Time It: Ensure your entire presentation fits in 1-2 minutes
3. Choose Your Approach: Decide whether to demo or describe
4. Practice: Run through your key talking points

What to Focus On

• Why this app is worth downloading
• 1-2 key benefits that solve real problems
• Your personal experience with it
• Simple explanation of what makes it special

Your Presentation

Sample Structure

Your Sales Pitch (1-2 minutes total):

"Tonight I want to convince you to try [App Name]. This app has [main benefit] and here's why you should download it tonight..."

• Explain the main problem it solves
• Share your personal success story with it
• Demo key features if visible, or describe them clearly
• Make the case for why it's worth their time
• End with where to find it and encourage them to try it

Delivery Tips

Demo vs. Describe

• When to Demo: If the app has clear visual features that are easy to see
• When to Describe: If the app doesn't lend itself to front-of-room demo

Keep It Compelling

• Focus on the problem it solves, not technical features
• Use your personal story as proof it works
• Make them want to try it immediately
• Think "sales pitch" not "tutorial"

Your Growth

This role helps you:

• Practice persuasive speaking and selling ideas
• Learn to focus on benefits over features
• Build confidence with brief, compelling presentations
• Develop skills in making recommendations

Every app pitch helps fellow members discover useful tools while building your persuasion skills!
