Fractional CGO Services
Growth Leadership for West Sacramento 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. A fractional CGO sits above the silos and aligns the entire engine behind one scoreboard.
Quick Answer
What is a fractional CGO, and why do West Sacramento firms hire one?
A fractional Chief Growth Officer for a law firm is a senior revenue executive who owns the entire revenue engine on a part-time, contracted basis. 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 each working hard while qualified leads leak between the handoffs.
- Senior revenue leadership for about 20–40% of a full-time hire’s price
- 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.
Demand
Pointed at qualified pipeline and cost-per-signed-case, not clicks.
Intake
No good lead left to go cold.
Conversion
Structured pursuit from inquiry to engagement.
Referrals
Happy clients recycle into new pipeline.
Before & After
What changes when one owner runs the number
The gap isn’t budget; it’s ownership of the handoffs.
Siloed
- Three teams, three dashboards, no shared number
- Qualified leads cool off in the handoffs
- More revenue requires a bigger budget
- Accountability is diffused
With a fractional CGO
- A single source of truth across every team
- No qualified lead left to go cold
- Revenue grows on the spend you already have
- A single accountable owner
