From Mitch Conquer, Founder & CEO
Dear founder,
Let’s be honest for a second.
You didn’t start a company to answer email at 11pm.
But here you are.
Inbox sitting at 312. Three proposals you meant to send on Tuesday. A calendar that belongs to everyone except you.
*refreshes inbox* 313.
You know you should hand it off. You’ve probably even tried.
Maybe it was a freelancer who was brilliant for three weeks, then vanished.
Maybe it was a big-name firm that charged a premium and sent you someone who still needed managing.
Maybe you hired locally, paid a full salary, and still ended up writing the follow-ups yourself.
So now you do it all. Because at least then it gets done.
Here’s the catch.
Every hour you spend in your inbox is an hour you’re not selling, building, or sitting at dinner with the people you started this for.
Your business can only grow as fast as your calendar lets it.
We know, because we tried every option out there to fix it for ourselves. So we built the one we wished existed. We find you one exceptional assistant, train them to work with AI, and stand behind them for as long as you’re with us. Then we build the rest of your team around them.
Here’s how it works, and why it holds up where the others fell apart.
*cue angels singing*
We’ve tried them all
You weren’t bad at delegating. You were set up to lose.
Before we built KeyPlayers, we paid for all three of these ourselves. (Ask us how we know.)
The big-name EA firm
Around $3,000 a month, with a commitment before you know if it works. A lot of that is the brand. It’s like paying for a designer shirt nobody can see: the logo’s on the invoice, not on the work.
The marketplace lottery
We once went through 11 hires on Upwork to find one good person. Cheap by the hour. Very expensive in your time, your patience and your sanity.
The expensive local hire
A great person on a full salary and benefits, and still nobody showed them how to use AI to get more done in the same hours.
Every one of them hands you a person and walks away. We stay.
The KeyPlayer System
Four steps. You only do one of them.
We hire the top 1%
Thousands apply. We test comprehension, written and spoken English, judgment and work ethic. Fewer than 1% make it through.
We train them on AI before day one
Through KeyPlayers University, built on the same systems our own leadership team runs on, so every hour you pay for goes further.
You meet them and approve the fit
This is your one job. Interview your match. If you’re not sold, we line up another. Nothing’s billed until they start.
We manage them for life
Our client success team handles performance, cover and development. If the fit ever changes, we replace them free.

How we hire
We’re difficult on purpose.
Anyone can fake a résumé. Nobody can fake how well they understand you, how they think on their feet, or their English.
So that’s what we test hardest.
Being this picky means we turn a lot of people away. It also means great people want in, because you become the average of the people around you.
Comprehension beats credentials
Across every placement we’ve made, we’ve learned the title barely matters. Two “executive assistant” jobs can be completely different, so we test how well they understand you, in live and recorded interviews.
Proactive by training
We train and test for initiative, so you get someone who spots the next thing before you have to ask.
Recruiters who’ve done this at scale
Our recruiters come from large recruiting agencies, BPOs and Fortune 500 companies.
Matching that weighs what matters
Our own AI matching system scores every candidate’s training results, then weighs them against live interviews and real-world testing.
The unglamorous stuff, tested too
English proficiency and internet speed, checked before anyone gets near your business.
KeyPlayers on our team have worked at
How we train
Trained on the same playbook we run our company on.
Our leadership team comes from marketing, advertising and go-to-market. We turned our own systems, SOPs and frameworks into KeyPlayers University, the online training every KeyPlayer goes through. Even the experts take it, as a refresher. Some we even pay to attend.
AI past the chat box
ChatGPT and Claude, plus MCP and APIs, so AI connects to the tools you already use.
Our AI prompt library
The prompts our own team uses every day, ready for your business.
Real paid media training
Google, YouTube and Meta, taught by people who run ads for a living.
Our outbound scripts
The proprietary scripting systems we built for our own sales team.
LinkedIn growth systems
The same machine we use to build pipeline, handed to your assistant.
Software discounts
Perks on tools your business already pays for, passed on to you.
(Your agency may want to keep up.)
Why great people stay
Great people attract great people.
Our KeyPlayers work from home, close to their families, and we fly the team in to spend time together because culture is built in person. People still leave jobs sometimes. That’s life. When it happens, your lifetime guarantee covers it and your SOPs are already written down.
Proof
The proof is in the people.

Fair question
“How on earth can you guarantee that?”
Most firms won’t put a guarantee in writing. We can, for four reasons.
We only place people who clear our bar.
Fewer than 1% of applicants get through, so the person you meet is someone we already stand behind.
You approve them before they start.
You’ve met them, questioned them and said yes before a dollar changes hands.
We catch problems early.
A client success team checks in on every placement, so small issues get fixed before they’re big ones.
Your know-how lives in systems.
SOPs and workflows are written down as they learn, so a replacement picks up where the last one left off.
The KeyPlayers Lifetime Guarantee
If your KeyPlayer is ever the wrong fit, we replace them at no cost. No 90-day window. It lasts as long as you’re with us.

What they take first
Here’s what disappears off your plate.
The inbox you’ve been avoiding. Triaged every day, drafts waiting for your yes, and nothing important left sitting.
Your calendar. Meetings booked, moved and prepped, without twelve emails back and forth.
Lead follow-up. Every lead gets a reply and a follow-up, so deals stop dying quietly in your inbox.
The CRM nobody updates. Notes logged and stages moved, so you finally have a pipeline you can trust.
Invoices and chasing payments. Sent on time, followed up politely, and reported back to you.
The SOPs living in your head. Written down as they learn the work, so the business runs on a system instead of your memory.
If it’s recurring and doesn’t need you specifically, your KeyPlayer can own it.

Hold on there, tiger
This isn’t for everyone.
Four things need to be true before we’ll work together.
- 1
You’re doing $1M+ a year, or close to it.
Below that, you’re usually better off doing it yourself a little longer.
- 2
You want a teammate for years.
We place people who become part of your team. If you’re after the cheapest option for a three-month stopgap, we’ll happily point you elsewhere.
- 3
You’ll actually hand things off.
If you plan to rewrite every email they send, you’ll waste a great hire.
- 4
You’ll show up for onboarding.
Give us a few hours to learn how you work, and your KeyPlayer runs with it from there.
Still here? Good. You’re exactly who we built this for.

Questions
Hold on, let me grab my cue cards.
These are the questions we have been asked by 200+ business owners. Here are the answers, before you have to ask.
Four reasons. Fewer than 1% of applicants clear our bar, so the person you meet is someone we already stand behind. You approve them before they start, so nobody is assigned to you. A client success team checks in on every placement, so small problems get fixed before they are big ones. And SOPs and workflows are written down as they learn, so a replacement picks up where the last one left off.
P.S. You could keep answering email at 11pm. Keep telling yourself you’ll hire someone once things calm down. (They won’t. You know that.)
Or you could take a 60-second application, meet the person who takes it all off your plate, and decide with zero risk.
The TL;DR
We hire the top 1% of assistants, train them on AI, and manage them for you. You meet yours before you pay anything, and if they’re ever the wrong fit, we replace them for life. Doing $1M+ a year? Find your KeyPlayer.
