Fractional CGO Services
Fractional CGO Services for Claremont Law Firms: Put Marketing, Intake & Sales on One Team
You spend on marketing, field the leads, and chase business development — while no single person owns the number they’re all supposed to move. We work above the silos and unifies demand, intake, conversion, and retention under one owner.
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 — connecting marketing, intake, sales, and retention into one accountable system instead of each working hard while qualified leads leak between the handoffs.
- 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
Above the Silos
The revenue relay a fractional CGO owns
Each team runs hard, but leads cool in the handoffs. A CGO owns the whole relay and the one number it feeds.
Demand
Pointed at qualified pipeline and cost-per-signed-case, not clicks.
Intake
No good lead left to go cold.
Conversion
Disciplined follow-up that turns interest into signed clients.
Referrals
Happy clients recycle into new pipeline.
Before & After
Leaking vs. sealed: where the revenue goes
The gap isn’t budget; it’s ownership of the handoffs.
Before a CGO
- Three teams, three dashboards, no shared number
- Qualified leads cool off in the handoffs
- Growth means buying more ad spend
- No one owns the revenue number
With a fractional CGO
- One unified growth scoreboard for the whole firm
- Speed-to-lead under five minutes, every time
- More cases without a bigger budget
- One executive owns the number
The Payoff
One number, owned and moved every week
The number
One growth number the whole firm runs on, with a single owner on the hook for it.
The Mandate
The four legs of the revenue engine
Demand
Spend pointed at pipeline, not clicks.
Intake & speed-to-lead
The marketing-to-intake handoff owned, so no qualified lead goes cold.
Sales & BD
Consultative follow-up and BD channels that turn interest into signed clients.

Signed clients turned into repeat matters and a referral engine, so growth compounds.
