Fractional Chief Growth Officer
Growth Leadership for Superior Law Firms, Sitting Above the Silos
You spend on marketing, field the leads, and chase business development — yet they report separately and good leads cool off between teams. We work above the silos and makes every team pull toward one revenue number.
Quick Answer
What is a fractional CGO, and why do Superior firms hire one?
A fractional Chief Growth Officer for a law firm is a senior revenue executive who owns the entire revenue engine on a fractional schedule. Where a CMO owns marketing and a COO owns operations, the CGO works above the silos — making demand, intake, conversion, and retention move the same scoreboard instead of each working hard while qualified leads leak between the handoffs.
- 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
- Engagements usually run 6–18 months, then ease into advisory support
The Model
Why no one owns the baton
Marketing, intake, sales, and retention each run their own leg. A fractional CGO owns the baton — so qualified leads stop getting dropped between teams.
Marketing
Pointed at qualified pipeline and cost-per-signed-case, not clicks.
Intake
No good lead left to go cold.
Sales & BD
Structured pursuit from inquiry to engagement.
Retention
Signed clients become repeat matters and referrals.
Where Revenue Leaks
Leaking vs. sealed: where the revenue goes
Same marketing spend, two very different outcomes — depending on whether anyone owns the whole path.
Siloed
- Three teams, three dashboards, no shared number
- Good leads slip between teams
- More revenue requires a bigger budget
- Accountability is diffused
With a fractional CGO
- One unified growth scoreboard for the whole firm
- Speed-to-lead under five minutes, every time
- Revenue grows on the spend you already have
- One executive owns the number
The Payoff
One number, owned and moved every week
The number
One unified revenue scoreboard — owned by one executive, reported weekly, and moved on purpose.
The Four Legs
The four legs of the revenue engine
Demand
Spend pointed at pipeline, not clicks.
Intake & speed-to-lead
The gap where most firms quietly lose cases, fixed.
Sales & BD
Structured pursuit that closes.
Retention, referrals & LTV
Signed clients turned into repeat matters and a referral engine, so growth compounds.
