Fractional CGO Services for La Presa Law Firms: Put Marketing, Intake & Sales on One Team
Your La Presa practice invests in marketing, intake, and BD — yet they report separately and good leads cool off between teams. 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 La Presa law firm?
A fractional Chief Growth Officer for a law firm is a senior revenue executive who owns the entire revenue engine on a fractional schedule. 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 optimizing alone while good leads slip through the gaps.
- Senior revenue leadership for about 20–40% of a full-time hire’s price
- 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
The Model
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.
Marketing
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.
Referrals
Happy clients recycle into new pipeline.
Before & After
What changes when one owner runs the number
The gap isn’t budget; it’s ownership of the handoffs.
Before a CGO
- Three teams, three dashboards, no shared number
- Good leads slip between teams
- Growth means buying more ad spend
- Accountability is diffused
Aligned
- One unified growth scoreboard for the whole firm
- No qualified lead left to go cold
- Revenue grows on the spend you already have
- One executive owns the number
One Number
One number, owned and moved every week
The number
One unified revenue scoreboard — owned by one executive, reported weekly, and moved on purpose.
The Mandate
The four legs of the revenue engine
Demand & marketing oversight
Spend pointed at pipeline, not clicks.
Intake & speed-to-lead
The marketing-to-intake handoff owned, so no qualified lead goes cold.
Sales & BD
Structured pursuit that closes.
Retention
Signed clients turned into repeat matters and a referral engine, so growth compounds.
