Fractional CGO Services for Coolidge Law Firms: Put Marketing, Intake & Sales on One Team
Your firm markets hard, runs an intake team, and works its referrals — while no single person owns the number they’re all supposed to move. A fractional CGO sits above the silos and makes every team pull toward one revenue number.
In Short
What is a fractional Chief Growth Officer for a law firm?
A fractional CGO is a seasoned growth leader who takes ownership of the firm’s whole growth engine 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 — connecting marketing, intake, sales, and retention into one accountable system instead of each working hard while qualified leads leak between the handoffs.
- 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
The Model
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
Measured by cases, not impressions.
Speed-to-lead
Every qualified lead answered fast — none left to cool.
Sales & BD
Structured pursuit from inquiry to engagement.
Retention
Happy clients recycle into new pipeline.
Where Revenue Leaks
What changes when one owner runs the number

What We Own
The four legs of the revenue engine

Structured pursuit that closes.
