Fractional CGO Services
Fractional CGO Services for Arden-Arcade Law Firms: Put Marketing, Intake & Sales on One Team
Your Arden-Arcade practice invests in marketing, intake, and BD — while no single person owns the number they’re all supposed to move. We work above the silos and aligns the entire engine behind one scoreboard.
The Short Version
What is a fractional CGO, and why do Arden-Arcade firms hire one?
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. Where a CMO owns marketing and a COO owns operations, the CGO works 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.
- Executive growth leadership at roughly 20–40% of a full-time CGO’s cost
- A fit for $1M–$100M+ firms whose marketing, intake, and sales report separately
- Engagements usually run 6–18 months, then ease into advisory support
Above the Silos
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
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
Happy clients recycle into new pipeline.
The Difference
What changes when one owner runs the number
Same marketing spend, two very different outcomes — depending on whether anyone owns the whole path.
Siloed
- Marketing, intake, and sales each report their own metric
- Good leads slip between teams
- More revenue requires a bigger budget
- No one owns the revenue number
Aligned
- A single source of truth across every team
- Speed-to-lead under five minutes, every time
- More cases without a bigger budget
- A single accountable owner
One Number
One number, owned and moved every week
The number
One unified revenue scoreboard — owned by one executive, reported weekly, and moved on purpose.

FAQ
