Fractional CGO Services
A Fractional Chief Growth Officer for Forrest City Law Firms — One Owner for the Whole Revenue Engine
Your Forrest City practice invests in marketing, intake, and BD — but each one runs on its own metric and qualified leads slip through the handoffs. A fractional CGO sits above the silos and unifies demand, intake, conversion, and retention under one owner.
The Short Version
What does a fractional CGO do for a Forrest City law firm?
A fractional CGO is a seasoned growth leader 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 orchestrates across the silos — connecting marketing, intake, sales, and retention into one accountable system 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
- Ideal when a $1M–$100M+ firm is losing leads in the handoffs
- Most last 6–18 months before shifting to a lighter advisory rhythm
