Fractional CGO Services
Fractional CGO Services for Riverbank Law Firms: Put Marketing, Intake & Sales on One Team
You spend on marketing, field the leads, and chase business development — while no single person owns the number they’re all supposed to move. A fractional Chief Growth Officer takes the whole engine and makes every team pull toward one revenue number.
Quick Answer
What is a fractional CGO, and why do Riverbank firms hire one?
A fractional Chief Growth Officer for a law firm is a senior 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 — keeping marketing, intake, business development, and retention pulling toward one revenue number instead of each working hard while qualified leads leak between the handoffs.
- 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
- Typically 6–18 months, then a part-time advisory cadence
Above the Silos
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.
Marketing
Pointed at qualified pipeline and cost-per-signed-case, not clicks.
Speed-to-lead
No good lead left to go cold.
Sales & BD
Structured pursuit from inquiry to engagement.
Retention
Signed clients become repeat matters and referrals.
