Fractional Chief Growth Officer
Growth Leadership for Mead Valley Law Firms, Sitting Above the Silos
Your firm markets hard, runs an intake team, and works its referrals — while no single person owns the number they’re all supposed to move. We work above the silos and unifies demand, intake, conversion, and retention under one owner.
Quick Answer
What is a fractional Chief Growth Officer for a law firm?
A fractional Chief Growth Officer for a law firm in Mead Valley is an experienced revenue executive who owns the entire revenue engine on a fractional schedule. Where a CMO owns marketing and a COO 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
- Ideal when a $1M–$100M+ firm is losing leads in the handoffs
- 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.
Intake
No good lead left to go cold.
Sales & BD
Structured pursuit from inquiry to engagement.
Referrals
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.
Siloed
- 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
- Revenue grows on the spend you already have
- One executive owns the number
The Scoreboard
One number, owned and moved every week
North-star
One growth number the whole firm runs on, with a single owner on the hook for it.
The Mandate
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 & speed-to-lead
The marketing-to-intake handoff owned, so no qualified lead goes cold.
Conversion & business development
Consultative follow-up and BD channels that turn interest into signed clients.
Retention
Every client feeds the next.
