A Fractional Chief Growth Officer for South Whittier Law Firms — One Owner for the Whole Revenue Engine
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 unifies demand, intake, conversion, and retention under one owner.
In Short
What does a fractional CGO do for a South Whittier law firm?
A fractional Chief Growth Officer for a law firm in South Whittier is an experienced revenue executive who takes ownership of the firm’s whole growth engine a few days a week rather than full-time. Where a CMO owns marketing and a COO owns operations, the CGO orchestrates across 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.
- 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
- Typically 6–18 months, then a part-time advisory cadence
The Model
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.
Demand
Pointed at qualified pipeline and cost-per-signed-case, not clicks.
Speed-to-lead
No good lead left to go cold.
Conversion
Disciplined follow-up that turns interest into signed clients.
Retention
Happy clients recycle into new pipeline.
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.
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
- One unified growth scoreboard for the whole firm
- Speed-to-lead under five minutes, every time
- More cases without a bigger budget
- A single accountable owner
One Number
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 Four Legs
The four legs of the revenue engine
Demand
Marketing and agencies held to qualified pipeline and cost-per-signed-case — not vanity metrics.
Intake & speed-to-lead
The gap where most firms quietly lose cases, fixed.
Sales & BD
Consultative follow-up and BD channels that turn interest into signed clients.
Retention
Signed clients turned into repeat matters and a referral engine, so growth compounds.
