Fractional Chief Growth Officer
The Fractional Chief Growth Officer Hartselle Law Firms Trust to Own Growth End-to-End
Your firm markets hard, runs an intake team, and works its referrals — yet they report separately and good leads cool off between teams. We work above the silos and aligns the entire engine behind one scoreboard.
The Short Version
What does a fractional CGO do for a Hartselle 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 on a fractional schedule. 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 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
- Most last 6–18 months before shifting to a lighter advisory rhythm
Above the Silos
Why no one owns the baton
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.
Speed-to-lead
Every qualified lead answered fast — none left to cool.
Conversion
Disciplined follow-up that turns interest into signed clients.
Retention
Signed clients become repeat matters and referrals.
