Fractional Chief Growth Officer
Growth Leadership for Glendale Law Firms, Sitting Above the Silos
Your Glendale practice invests in marketing, intake, and BD — but each one runs on its own metric and qualified leads slip through the handoffs. We work above the silos and aligns the entire engine behind one scoreboard.
In Short
What is a fractional Chief Growth Officer for a law firm?
A fractional Chief Growth Officer for a law firm in Glendale is an experienced revenue executive who owns the entire revenue engine on a part-time, contracted basis. Unlike a CMO who owns marketing or a COO who owns operations, the CGO orchestrates across the silos — connecting marketing, intake, sales, and retention into one accountable system 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
- 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
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
Measured by cases, not impressions.
Intake
Every qualified lead answered fast — none left to cool.
Conversion
Structured pursuit from inquiry to engagement.
Retention
Signed clients become repeat matters and referrals.
The Difference
Leaking vs. sealed: where the revenue goes
The gap isn’t budget; it’s ownership of the handoffs.
Before a CGO
- Marketing, intake, and sales each report their own metric
- Qualified leads cool off in the handoffs
- More revenue requires a bigger budget
- No one owns the revenue number
With a fractional CGO
- One unified growth scoreboard for the whole firm
- Speed-to-lead under five minutes, every time
- Revenue grows on the spend you already have
- One executive owns the number
The Scoreboard
One number, owned and moved every week
