Fractional CGO Services
A Fractional Chief Growth Officer for Phoenix Law Firms — One Owner for the Whole Revenue Engine
You spend on marketing, field the leads, and chase business development — while no single person owns the number they’re all supposed to move. We work above the silos and makes every team pull toward one revenue number.
The Short Version
What is a fractional CGO, and why do Phoenix firms hire one?
A fractional Chief Growth Officer for a law firm in Phoenix is an experienced revenue executive who owns the entire revenue engine on a part-time, contracted basis. Unlike a CMO who owns marketing or a COO who owns operations, the CGO sits above the silos — keeping marketing, intake, business development, and retention pulling toward one revenue number 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
- Ideal when a $1M–$100M+ firm is losing leads in the handoffs
- Typically 6–18 months, then a part-time advisory cadence
The Revenue Relay
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.
Demand
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.
Retention
Signed clients become repeat matters and referrals.
The Difference
Leaking vs. sealed: where the revenue goes
The gap isn’t budget; it’s ownership of the handoffs.
Siloed
- Marketing, intake, and sales each report their own metric
- Qualified leads cool off in the handoffs
- Growth means buying more ad spend
- Accountability is diffused
Aligned
- A single source of truth across every team
- No qualified lead left to go cold
- Revenue grows on the spend you already have
- A single accountable owner
