Fractional Chief Growth Officer
The Fractional Chief Growth Officer Fort Collins Law Firms Trust to Own Growth End-to-End
Your firm markets hard, runs an intake team, and works its referrals — while no single person owns the number they’re all supposed to move. We work above the silos and unifies demand, intake, conversion, and retention under one owner.
In Short
What is a fractional CGO, and why do Fort Collins firms hire one?
A fractional CGO is a seasoned growth leader who runs the full path from lead to signed client to repeat business a few days a week rather than full-time. Rather than owning one function like marketing or ops, the CGO sits above the silos — connecting marketing, intake, sales, and retention into one accountable system instead of optimizing alone while good leads slip through the gaps.
- Senior revenue leadership for about 20–40% of a full-time hire’s price
- Built for $1M–$100M+ firms where the teams don’t share one number
- Typically 6–18 months, then a part-time advisory cadence
The Model
The revenue relay a fractional CGO owns
Each team runs hard, but leads cool in the handoffs. A CGO owns the whole relay and the one number it feeds.
Marketing
Measured by cases, not impressions.
Intake
Every qualified lead answered fast — none left to cool.
Sales & BD
Disciplined follow-up that turns interest into signed clients.
Referrals
Happy clients recycle into new pipeline.
Where Revenue Leaks
Leaking vs. sealed: where the revenue goes
The gap isn’t budget; it’s ownership of the handoffs.
Before a CGO

- Qualified leads cool off in the handoffs
- More revenue requires a bigger budget
- No one owns the revenue number
Aligned
- A single source of truth across every team
- No qualified lead left to go cold
- Revenue grows on the spend you already have
- One executive owns the number
The Scoreboard
One number, owned and moved every week
The number
One growth number the whole firm runs on, with a single owner on the hook for it.
