Fractional CGO Services
Growth Leadership for Bear Law Firms, Sitting Above the Silos
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 unifies demand, intake, conversion, and retention under one owner.
Quick Answer
What does a fractional CGO do for a Bear law firm?
A fractional Chief Growth Officer for a law firm in Bear is an experienced revenue executive who owns the entire revenue engine on a part-time, contracted basis. Rather than owning one function like marketing or ops, the CGO orchestrates across 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
- Typically 6–18 months, then a part-time advisory cadence
The Handoff Gap
The handoff problem no single leader owns
Marketing hands to intake; intake hands to sales. The leaks live in the gaps — and no one owns them.
Demand
Response
Conversion
The Distinction
CMO, COO, and CGO — the difference
CMO
The demand function
Drives leads and brand — but hands off at the edge of marketing.
COO
Owns operations
Focused on operations, not revenue conversion.
CGO
Above the silos
Owns the full path — marketing, intake, sales, and retention — pulling every team to one number.

Outcomes
What firms typically see
Proof
Representative growth engagements
Representative of what one accountable owner can change.
A scaling PI firm had strong demand and stalled conversion; we unified the funnel, drove fast response, and installed a weekly revenue review.
At a $5M employment firm, demand was strong but follow-up was hit-or-miss and every team reported its own numbers. We stood up a unified scoreboard and a BD cadence on one conversion target.
~35% more lead-to-signed at the first and ~25% more revenue at the second — both on the same marketing spend.
