Fractional Chief Growth Officer
The Fractional Chief Growth Officer Sherman Oaks Law Firms Trust to Own Growth End-to-End
You spend on marketing, field the leads, and chase business development — but each one runs on its own metric and qualified leads slip through the handoffs. We work above the silos and makes every team pull toward one revenue number.
The Short Version
What does a fractional CGO do for a Sherman Oaks law firm?
A fractional Chief Growth Officer for a law firm is a senior revenue executive who runs the full path from lead to signed client to repeat business on a fractional schedule. 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 each working hard while qualified leads leak between the handoffs.
- 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
