Fractional Chief Growth Officer
A Fractional Chief Growth Officer for Bay Heights 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. A fractional CGO sits above the silos and aligns the entire engine behind one scoreboard.
The Short Version
What is a fractional Chief Growth Officer for a law firm?
A fractional CGO is a seasoned growth leader who runs the full path from lead to signed client to repeat business a few days a week rather than full-time. Where a CMO owns marketing and a COO owns operations, 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
- Most last 6–18 months before shifting to a lighter advisory rhythm
The Problem
Where revenue leaks between functions
Marketing hands to intake; intake hands to sales. The leaks live in the gaps — and no one owns them.

Representative Outcomes
What it looks like in practice
Illustrative engagements; details are representative.
At a $28M PI firm, heavy spend brought leads but qualified prospects leaked between marketing, intake, and follow-up with no one owning the funnel. We built one scoreboard, pulled speed-to-lead under five minutes, and ran a consultative follow-up cadence.
A smaller employment practice got a single pipeline view and one signed-case goal across teams.
~35% more lead-to-signed at the first and ~25% more revenue at the second — both on the same marketing spend.
Testimonials

“The growth came from fixing the handoffs, not a bigger budget; we finally convert the leads we were losing.”
