RepStack Co-Founder Athar Siddiqui on Remote Team Scaling

TL;DR

Athar Siddiqui of RepStack, a LevelUp 2026 Platinum Sponsor, discussed strategies for building remote teams. This is a strategic discussion, not a product update.

Who this affects

Agency owners and SaaS entrepreneurs looking to scale their teams with remote hiring. This is relevant for those managing or planning to manage remote staff. This does not affect any specific HighLevel plan level.

What changed

Athar Siddiqui, COO and Co-Founder of RepStack, is a Platinum Sponsor at LevelUp 2026. Siddiqui discussed building high-performing remote teams and leveraging HighLevel for scalable growth. RepStack's hiring and training infrastructure was developed over six years. Siddiqui personally has 15 years in enterprise program management. He has helped over 800 agencies achieve more than 2,000 placements. Discussion points covered identifying necessary roles, onboarding processes, ongoing training, coaching, and developing product knowledge into leadership skills. HighLevel has not confirmed any specific limits, plan gating, or rollout status related to this information, as it is a presentation summary.

Where to find it

This is not a product feature or update. The discussion points are from a recent presentation, likely available as a recording. HighLevel has not published a specific location within the product for this content.

How agencies will use this

An agency owner considering hiring a new virtual assistant or sales rep could use insights from this discussion. They might review their current agency operations in HighLevel, noting which tasks are repetitive or time-consuming, like updating contact records, managing calendars, or sending initial follow-up emails. Based on Siddiqui's points, they would define the specific role needed, for example, a 'HighLevel VA for client onboarding'. They would then plan a structured onboarding process, potentially using HighLevel's internal communication features or training snapshots. Ongoing training could involve creating a dedicated training sub-account with specific workflows and dummy data for practice. The goal is to build a well-trained remote team member who can manage client accounts within HighLevel effectively, freeing up the agency owner for strategic growth.

Our take

This is a standard update. It provides tactical advice for agency growth, which is useful for operators. It is not a new feature or a change to the HighLevel platform itself. For agencies struggling with team scaling, the insights from RepStack's experience are worth noting. It is not an urgent update you need to act on this week.
