Fractional Chief Growth Officer
A Fractional Chief Growth Officer for Castro Valley 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 does a fractional CGO do for a Castro Valley law firm?
A fractional Chief Growth Officer for a law firm in Castro Valley is an experienced revenue executive 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 — keeping marketing, intake, business development, and retention pulling toward one revenue number 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
- Typically 6–18 months, then a part-time advisory cadence
Above the Silos
Growth is a relay — and leads get dropped at the handoffs
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.
Speed-to-lead
Every qualified lead answered fast — none left to cool.
Conversion
Structured pursuit from inquiry to engagement.
Referrals

The Difference
What changes when one owner runs the number
The gap isn’t budget; it’s ownership of the handoffs.
