Fractional CGO Services
Fractional CGO Services for El Segundo Law Firms: Put Marketing, Intake & Sales on One Team
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. We work above the silos and unifies demand, intake, conversion, and retention under one owner.
In Short
What does a fractional CGO do for a El Segundo law firm?
A fractional CGO is a seasoned growth leader who owns the entire revenue engine a few days a week rather than full-time. Rather than owning one function like marketing or ops, the CGO works above the silos — keeping marketing, intake, business development, and retention pulling toward one revenue number instead of optimizing alone while good leads slip through the gaps.
- Top-tier growth leadership at a fraction — roughly 20–40% — of a full-time CGO
- Ideal when a $1M–$100M+ firm is losing leads in the handoffs
- Most last 6–18 months before shifting to a lighter advisory rhythm
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.
Demand
Measured by cases, not impressions.
Speed-to-lead
Every qualified lead answered fast — none left to cool.
Sales & BD
Disciplined follow-up that turns interest into signed clients.
Referrals
Signed clients become repeat matters and referrals.
Before & After
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
- Qualified leads cool off in the handoffs
- Growth means buying more ad spend
- Accountability is diffused
Aligned
- A single source of truth across every team
- No qualified lead left to go cold
- More cases without a bigger budget
- One executive owns the number
The Payoff
One number, owned and moved every week
The number
One unified revenue scoreboard — owned by one executive, reported weekly, and moved on purpose.
What We Own
The four legs of the revenue engine
Demand & marketing oversight
Marketing and agencies held to qualified pipeline and cost-per-signed-case — not vanity metrics.
Intake
The gap where most firms quietly lose cases, fixed.
Conversion & business development
Consultative follow-up and BD channels that turn interest into signed clients.
Retention, referrals & LTV
Signed clients turned into repeat matters and a referral engine, so growth compounds.

FAQ
