Fractional CGO Services
The Fractional Chief Growth Officer Erie Law Firms Trust to Own Growth End-to-End
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.
In Short
What does a fractional CGO do for a Erie law firm?
A fractional Chief Growth Officer for a law firm is a senior revenue executive who runs the full path from lead to signed client to repeat business a few days a week rather than full-time. Unlike a CMO who owns marketing or a COO who owns operations, the CGO sits above the silos — making demand, intake, conversion, and retention move the same scoreboard 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
- 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 Revenue Relay
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
Measured by cases, not impressions.
Intake
No good lead left to go cold.
Sales & BD
Structured pursuit from inquiry to engagement.
Retention
Signed clients become repeat matters and referrals.
Where Revenue Leaks
What changes when one owner runs the number
Same marketing spend, two very different outcomes — depending on whether anyone owns the whole path.
Siloed
- Three teams, three dashboards, no shared number
- Good leads slip between teams
- More revenue requires a bigger budget
- No one owns the revenue number
Aligned
- A single source of truth across every team
- Speed-to-lead under five minutes, every time
- More cases without a bigger budget
- A single accountable owner
