A Fractional Chief Growth Officer for Farmington 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.
The Short Version
What is a fractional CGO, and why do Farmington firms hire one?
A fractional Chief Growth Officer for a law firm is a senior revenue executive who owns the entire revenue engine a few days a week rather than full-time. Rather than owning one function like marketing or ops, the CGO sits 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
- A fit for $1M–$100M+ firms whose marketing, intake, and sales report separately
- Typically 6–18 months, then a part-time advisory cadence
The Revenue Relay
Growth is a relay — and leads get dropped at the handoffs
Marketing, intake, sales, and retention each run their own leg. A fractional CGO owns the baton — so qualified leads stop getting dropped between teams.
Demand
Measured by cases, not impressions.
Intake
Every qualified lead answered fast — none left to cool.
Conversion
Structured pursuit from inquiry to engagement.
Retention
Happy clients recycle into new pipeline.
The Difference
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
- Qualified leads cool off in the handoffs
- More revenue requires a bigger budget
- Accountability is diffused
Aligned
- A single source of truth across every team
- Speed-to-lead under five minutes, every time
- More cases without a bigger budget
- One executive owns the number
The Scoreboard
One number, owned and moved every week
The number
One growth number the whole firm runs on, with a single owner on the hook for it.
