Fractional CGO Services
Fractional CGO Services for Brea Law Firms: Put Marketing, Intake & Sales on One Team
Your firm markets hard, runs an intake team, and works its referrals — yet they report separately and good leads cool off between teams. We work above the silos and unifies demand, intake, conversion, and retention under one owner.
In Short
What does a fractional CGO do for a Brea law firm?
A fractional Chief Growth Officer for a law firm in Brea is an experienced revenue executive who owns the entire revenue engine on a part-time, contracted basis. 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.
- Executive growth leadership at roughly 20–40% of a full-time CGO’s cost
- Built for $1M–$100M+ firms where the teams don’t share one number
- Typically 6–18 months, then a part-time advisory cadence
The Model
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.
Demand
Pointed at qualified pipeline and cost-per-signed-case, not clicks.
Intake
No good lead left to go cold.
Conversion
Structured pursuit from inquiry to engagement.
Referrals
Signed clients become repeat matters and referrals.
Before & After

- A single source of truth across every team
