Fractional CGO Services
Fractional CGO Services for Dodgingtown 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 unifies demand, intake, conversion, and retention under one owner.
Quick Answer
What does a fractional CGO do for a Dodgingtown law firm?
A fractional CGO is a seasoned growth leader who takes ownership of the firm’s whole growth engine on a part-time, contracted basis. Unlike a CMO who owns marketing or a COO who owns operations, the CGO works above 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
- Built for $1M–$100M+ firms where the teams don’t share one number
- Most last 6–18 months before shifting to a lighter advisory rhythm
The Revenue Relay
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
Measured by cases, not impressions.
Speed-to-lead
Every qualified lead answered fast — none left to cool.
Sales & BD
Structured pursuit from inquiry to engagement.
Retention
Signed clients become repeat matters and referrals.
Where Revenue Leaks
What changes when one owner runs the number
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
- More revenue requires a bigger budget
- No one owns the revenue number
With a fractional CGO
- One unified growth scoreboard for the whole firm
- Speed-to-lead under five minutes, every time
- Revenue grows on the spend you already have
- One executive owns the number
The Scoreboard
One number, owned and moved every week
North-star
One unified revenue scoreboard — owned by one executive, reported weekly, and moved on purpose.
The Mandate
The four legs of the revenue engine
Demand
Marketing and agencies held to qualified pipeline and cost-per-signed-case — not vanity metrics.
Intake
The gap where most firms quietly lose cases, fixed.
Conversion & business development
Structured pursuit that closes.
Retention, referrals & LTV
Signed clients turned into repeat matters and a referral engine, so growth compounds.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions

Q.How is a fractional CGO different from a CMO or COO?+
A CMO owns marketing and a COO owns operations; a Chief Growth Officer works above the silos and owns the full path from lead to signed client to repeat and referral revenue, so every function pulls toward one number.

Everything that moves revenue: demand, intake and speed-to-lead, conversion and BD, and retention and referrals — consolidated onto a single scoreboard.
