Fractional Chief Growth Officer
Growth Leadership for Alabaster Law Firms, Sitting Above the Silos
Your Alabaster practice invests in marketing, intake, and BD — yet they report separately and good leads cool off between teams. A fractional Chief Growth Officer takes the whole engine and unifies demand, intake, conversion, and retention under one owner.
In Short
What is a fractional CGO, and why do Alabaster firms hire one?
A fractional Chief Growth Officer for a law firm is a senior revenue executive who runs the full path from lead to signed client to repeat business a few days a week rather than full-time. Rather than owning one function like marketing or ops, the CGO works above 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.
- Senior revenue leadership for about 20–40% of a full-time hire’s price
- Built for $1M–$100M+ firms where the teams don’t share one number
- Engagements usually run 6–18 months, then ease into advisory support
The Revenue Relay
The revenue relay a fractional CGO owns
Marketing, intake, sales, and retention each run their own leg. A fractional CGO owns the baton — so qualified leads stop getting dropped between teams.
Marketing
Measured by cases, not impressions.
Intake
No good lead left to go cold.
Sales & BD
Structured pursuit from inquiry to engagement.
Referrals
Signed clients become repeat matters and referrals.
The Difference
Leaking vs. sealed: where the revenue goes
The gap isn’t budget; it’s ownership of the handoffs.

- More revenue requires a bigger budget
- No one owns the revenue number
With a fractional CGO
- A single source of truth across every team
- No qualified lead left to go cold
