Fractional CGO Services
Growth Leadership for Burrville Law Firms, Sitting Above the Silos
Your firm markets hard, runs an intake team, and works its referrals — yet they report separately and good leads cool off between teams. A fractional CGO sits above the silos and aligns the entire engine behind one scoreboard.
Quick Answer
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 part-time, contracted basis. Where a CMO owns marketing and a COO owns operations, the CGO works above the silos — connecting marketing, intake, sales, and retention into one accountable system instead of optimizing alone while good leads slip through the gaps.
- Top-tier growth leadership at a fraction — roughly 20–40% — of a full-time CGO
- A fit for $1M–$100M+ firms whose marketing, intake, and sales report separately
- Most last 6–18 months before shifting to a lighter advisory rhythm
Above the Silos
Growth is a relay — and leads get dropped at the handoffs
Marketing, intake, sales, and retention each run their own leg. A fractional CGO owns the baton — so qualified leads stop getting dropped between teams.
Marketing
Measured by cases, not impressions.
Speed-to-lead
Every qualified lead answered fast — none left to cool.
Conversion
Structured pursuit from inquiry to engagement.
Retention
Happy clients recycle into new pipeline.
