Fractional Chief Growth Officer
Fractional CGO Services for Clovis Law Firms: Put Marketing, Intake & Sales on One Team
You spend on marketing, field the leads, and chase business development — yet they report separately and good leads cool off between teams. A fractional CGO sits above the silos and aligns the entire engine behind one scoreboard.
Quick Answer
What does a fractional CGO do for a Clovis law firm?
A fractional Chief Growth Officer for a law firm is a senior revenue executive who takes ownership of the firm’s whole growth engine a few days a week rather than full-time. Unlike a CMO who owns marketing or a COO who owns operations, 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.
- 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
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.
Marketing
Measured by cases, not impressions.
Speed-to-lead
No good lead left to go cold.
Conversion
Structured pursuit from inquiry to engagement.
Retention
Signed clients become repeat matters and referrals.
Where Revenue Leaks
What changes when one owner runs the number
Same marketing spend, two very different outcomes — depending on whether anyone owns the whole path.
Before a CGO
- Marketing, intake, and sales each report their own metric
- Good leads slip between teams
- Growth means buying more ad spend
- Accountability is diffused
With a fractional CGO
- One unified growth scoreboard for the whole firm
- Speed-to-lead under five minutes, every time
- More cases without a bigger budget
- A single accountable owner
