Growth Leadership · Fullerton, CA
The Fractional Chief Growth Officer Fullerton Law Firms Trust to Own Growth End-to-End
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 Chief Growth Officer takes the whole engine and makes every team pull toward one revenue number.
In Short
What does a fractional CGO do for a Fullerton 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. Unlike a CMO who owns marketing or a COO who owns operations, the CGO works above the silos — making demand, intake, conversion, and retention move the same scoreboard instead of each working hard while qualified leads leak between the handoffs.
- Senior revenue leadership for about 20–40% of a full-time hire’s price
- A fit for $1M–$100M+ firms whose marketing, intake, and sales report separately
- Typically 6–18 months, then a part-time advisory cadence
The Model
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.
Intake
Every qualified lead answered fast — none left to cool.
Conversion
Structured pursuit from inquiry to engagement.
Referrals
Signed clients become repeat matters and referrals.
The Difference
Leaking vs. sealed: where the revenue goes
Same marketing spend, two very different outcomes — depending on whether anyone owns the whole path.
Siloed
- 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
Aligned
- One unified growth scoreboard for the whole firm
- No qualified lead left to go cold
- More cases without a bigger budget
- One executive owns the number
