**Eli:** You know what's wild, Miles? I was just reading about this growth consultancy called Category Growth, and they've got only four people but they're helping massive consumer brands unlock what they call "disruptive growth opportunities." It got me thinking about how the best growth systems aren't always about having huge teams.
**Miles:** That's such a great point! And it actually connects to something I've been seeing a lot lately. Companies are realizing that their biggest growth lever isn't necessarily hiring more people—it's getting the people they already have ramped up faster and performing at their peak. I mean, when you look at structured onboarding programs, they can improve new hire retention by 82% and productivity by over 70%.
**Eli:** Exactly! And that's where things get really interesting because most employees actually describe their onboarding as disorganized or overwhelming. So there's this massive gap between what works and what most companies are actually doing.
**Miles:** Right, and it's not just about onboarding either. It's about building these complete channel growth systems—from how you bring people in, to how you position different roles clearly, to how you identify and develop your future leaders. It's like creating this whole talent pipeline that feeds your growth.
**Eli:** I love that framework approach. So let's dive into how you actually build these systems step by step, starting with that crucial onboarding foundation.
