A Fractional Chief Growth Officer for Magnolia Law Firms — One Owner for the Whole Revenue Engine
Your Magnolia practice invests in marketing, intake, and BD — but each one runs on its own metric and qualified leads slip through the handoffs. We work above the silos and makes every team pull toward one revenue number.
The Short Version
What is a fractional Chief Growth Officer for a 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. Rather than owning one function like marketing or ops, the CGO sits 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
- Most last 6–18 months before shifting to a lighter advisory rhythm
