Fractional Chief Growth Officer
The Fractional Chief Growth Officer Batesville Law Firms Trust to Own Growth End-to-End
Your Batesville practice invests in marketing, intake, and BD — but each one runs on its own metric and qualified leads slip through the handoffs. A fractional CGO sits above the silos and aligns the entire engine behind one scoreboard.
In Short
What is a fractional Chief Growth Officer for a law firm?
A fractional CGO is a seasoned growth leader who owns the entire revenue engine on a fractional schedule. Where a CMO owns marketing and a COO owns operations, the CGO works above the silos — making demand, intake, conversion, and retention move the same scoreboard 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
- 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
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.
Demand
Measured by cases, not impressions.
Intake
No good lead left to go cold.
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
Same marketing spend, two very different outcomes — depending on whether anyone owns the whole path.
Before a CGO
- Three teams, three dashboards, no shared number
- Qualified leads cool off in the handoffs
- More revenue requires a bigger budget
- No one owns the revenue number
With a fractional CGO
- One unified growth scoreboard for the whole firm
- No qualified lead left to go cold
- More cases without a bigger budget
- A single accountable owner
One Number
One number, owned and moved every week
The number
One unified revenue scoreboard — owned by one executive, reported weekly, and moved on purpose.
The Four Legs
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 marketing-to-intake handoff owned, so no qualified lead goes cold.
Conversion & business development
Structured pursuit that closes.
Retention
Every client feeds the next.
