Fractional Chief Growth Officer
A Fractional Chief Growth Officer for Alamo Law Firms — One Owner for the Whole Revenue Engine
Your Alamo practice invests in marketing, intake, and BD — but each one runs on its own metric and qualified leads slip through the handoffs. We work above the silos and aligns the entire engine behind one scoreboard.
The Short Version
What does a fractional CGO do for a Alamo law firm?
A fractional Chief Growth Officer for a law firm in Alamo is an experienced revenue executive who runs the full path from lead to signed client to repeat business on a part-time, contracted basis. Where a CMO owns marketing and a COO owns operations, the CGO sits 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
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
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.
The Difference
Leaking vs. sealed: where the revenue goes
The gap isn’t budget; it’s ownership of the handoffs.
Siloed
- Three teams, three dashboards, no shared number
- Good leads slip between teams
- Growth means buying more ad spend
- Accountability is diffused
Aligned
- A single source of truth across every team
- No qualified lead left to go cold
- Revenue grows on the spend you already have
- One executive owns the number
One Number
The growth a fractional CGO is accountable for
The number
One growth number the whole firm runs on, with a single owner on the hook for it.
The Mandate
The four legs of the revenue engine
Demand & marketing oversight
Marketing and agencies held to qualified pipeline and cost-per-signed-case — not vanity metrics.
Intake & speed-to-lead
The marketing-to-intake handoff owned, so no qualified lead goes cold.
Conversion & business development
Structured pursuit that closes.
Retention, referrals & LTV
Signed clients turned into repeat matters and a referral engine, so growth compounds.
