Fractional Chief Growth Officer
Growth Leadership for Harrison Law Firms, Sitting Above the Silos
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 aligns the entire engine behind one scoreboard.
Quick Answer
What is a fractional CGO, and why do Harrison firms hire one?
A fractional CGO is a seasoned growth leader who takes ownership of the firm’s whole growth engine on a fractional schedule. Rather than owning one function like marketing or ops, the CGO sits 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.
- 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 Revenue Relay
Why no one owns the baton
Each team runs hard, but leads cool in the handoffs. A CGO owns the whole relay and the one number it feeds.
Marketing
Pointed at qualified pipeline and cost-per-signed-case, not clicks.
Intake
No good lead left to go cold.
Sales & BD
Structured pursuit from inquiry to engagement.
Referrals
Happy clients recycle into new pipeline.
Where Revenue Leaks
Leaking vs. sealed: where the revenue goes
The gap isn’t budget; it’s ownership of the handoffs.

- No one owns the revenue number
