Fractional CGO Services
Fractional CGO Services for Phenix City Law Firms: Put Marketing, Intake & Sales on One Team
Your firm markets hard, runs an intake team, and works its referrals — yet they report separately and good leads cool off between teams. A fractional CGO sits above the silos and aligns the entire engine behind one scoreboard.
Quick Answer
What does a fractional CGO do for a Phenix City law firm?
A fractional CGO is a seasoned growth leader who owns the entire revenue engine on a fractional schedule. Unlike a CMO who owns marketing or a COO who owns operations, the CGO sits above the silos — connecting marketing, intake, sales, and retention into one accountable system instead of each working hard while qualified leads leak between the handoffs.
- Top-tier growth leadership at a fraction — roughly 20–40% — of a full-time CGO
- A fit for $1M–$100M+ firms whose marketing, intake, and sales report separately
- Most last 6–18 months before shifting to a lighter advisory rhythm
The Model
Growth is a relay — and leads get dropped at the handoffs
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
Every qualified lead answered fast — none left to cool.
Sales & BD
Disciplined follow-up that turns interest into signed clients.
Retention
Signed clients become repeat matters and referrals.
