Fractional CGO Services
Fractional CGO Services for Homewood Law Firms: Put Marketing, Intake & Sales on One Team
Your firm markets hard, runs an intake team, and works its referrals — but each one runs on its own metric and qualified leads slip through the handoffs. A fractional Chief Growth Officer takes the whole engine and unifies demand, intake, conversion, and retention under one owner.
Quick Answer
What is a fractional Chief Growth Officer for a law firm?
A fractional CGO is a seasoned growth leader who takes ownership of the firm’s whole growth engine on a fractional schedule. Unlike a CMO who owns marketing or a COO who 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
- A fit for $1M–$100M+ firms whose marketing, intake, and sales report separately
- Engagements usually run 6–18 months, then ease into advisory support
The Revenue Relay
The revenue relay a fractional CGO owns
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
Measured by cases, not impressions.
Intake
Every qualified lead answered fast — none left to cool.
Conversion
Disciplined follow-up that turns interest into signed clients.
Referrals
Happy clients recycle into new pipeline.
