Fractional CGO Services for Tucson Law Firms: Put Marketing, Intake & Sales on One Team
You spend on marketing, field the leads, and chase business development — but each one runs on its own metric and qualified leads slip through the handoffs. We work above the silos and makes every team pull toward one revenue number.
The Short Version
What is a fractional Chief Growth Officer for a law firm?
A fractional CGO is a seasoned growth leader who runs the full path from lead to signed client to repeat business 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.
- Executive growth leadership at roughly 20–40% of a full-time CGO’s cost
- Ideal when a $1M–$100M+ firm is losing leads in the handoffs
- 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
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.
Retention
Signed clients become repeat matters and referrals.
Before & After
