Fractional CGO Services
Growth Leadership for Hermosa Beach Law Firms, Sitting Above the Silos
Your Hermosa Beach practice invests in marketing, intake, and BD — but each one runs on its own metric and qualified leads slip through the handoffs. A fractional CGO sits above the silos and makes every team pull toward one revenue number.
The Short Version
What is a fractional CGO, and why do Hermosa Beach firms hire one?
A fractional Chief Growth Officer for a law firm in Hermosa Beach is an experienced revenue executive 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 — keeping marketing, intake, business development, and retention pulling toward one revenue number 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 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.
Marketing
Measured by cases, not impressions.
Speed-to-lead
Every qualified lead answered fast — none left to cool.
Conversion
Disciplined follow-up that turns interest into signed clients.
Referrals
Happy clients recycle into new pipeline.
The Difference
What changes when one owner runs the number
The gap isn’t budget; it’s ownership of the handoffs.

- No one owns the revenue number
With a fractional CGO
