Fractional Chief Growth Officer
Growth Leadership for Sun City Law Firms, Sitting Above the Silos
Your Sun City practice invests in marketing, intake, and BD — while no single person owns the number they’re all supposed to move. We work above the silos and aligns the entire engine behind one scoreboard.
Quick Answer
What does a fractional CGO do for a Sun City law firm?
A fractional CGO is a seasoned growth leader who takes ownership of the firm’s whole growth engine on a fractional schedule. Rather than owning one function like marketing or ops, the CGO works above 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
- 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.
Marketing
Pointed at qualified pipeline and cost-per-signed-case, not clicks.
Speed-to-lead
Every qualified lead answered fast — none left to cool.
Sales & BD
Disciplined follow-up that turns interest into signed clients.
Retention
Happy clients recycle into new pipeline.
Where Revenue Leaks
Leaking vs. sealed: where the revenue goes
Same marketing spend, two very different outcomes — depending on whether anyone owns the whole path.
Before a CGO
- Marketing, intake, and sales each report their own metric
- Good leads slip between teams
- Growth means buying more ad spend
- No one owns the revenue number
Aligned
- A single source of truth across every team
- Speed-to-lead under five minutes, every time
- Revenue grows on the spend you already have
- A single accountable owner
