Fractional Chief Growth Officer
The Fractional Chief Growth Officer Glastonbury Law Firms Trust to Own Growth End-to-End
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 makes every team pull toward one revenue number.
The Short Version
What does a fractional CGO do for a Glastonbury law firm?
A fractional Chief Growth Officer for a law firm is a senior revenue executive who takes ownership of the firm’s whole growth engine a few days a week rather than full-time. Rather than owning one function like marketing or ops, 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.
- 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
The Revenue Relay
Why no one owns the baton
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
Every qualified lead answered fast — none left to cool.
Conversion
Disciplined follow-up that turns interest into signed clients.
Retention
Happy clients recycle into new pipeline.
Before & After

- More revenue requires a bigger budget
- Accountability is diffused
Aligned
