Fractional Chief Growth Officer
The Fractional Chief Growth Officer East Whittier Law Firms Trust to Own Growth End-to-End

In Short
What does a fractional CGO do for a East Whittier law firm?
A fractional Chief Growth Officer for a law firm in East Whittier is an experienced revenue executive who owns the entire revenue engine a few days a week rather than full-time. Where a CMO owns marketing and a COO owns operations, the CGO sits above the silos — connecting marketing, intake, sales, and retention into one accountable system instead of optimizing alone while good leads slip through the gaps.
- 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
- Most last 6–18 months before shifting to a lighter advisory rhythm
The Model
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.
Demand
Measured by cases, not impressions.
Speed-to-lead
Every qualified lead answered fast — none left to cool.
Conversion
Structured pursuit from inquiry to engagement.
Retention
Signed clients become repeat matters and referrals.
Before & After
What changes when one owner runs the number

- Growth means buying more ad spend
- No one owns the revenue number
With a fractional CGO
