Growth Leadership · New London, CT
The Fractional Chief Growth Officer New London Law Firms Trust to Own Growth End-to-End
You spend on marketing, field the leads, and chase business development — yet they report separately and good leads cool off between teams. We work above the silos and unifies demand, intake, conversion, and retention under one owner.
The Short Version
What does a fractional CGO do for a New London 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 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 — connecting marketing, intake, sales, and retention into one accountable system instead of each working hard while qualified leads leak between the handoffs.
- Top-tier growth leadership at a fraction — roughly 20–40% — of a full-time CGO
- Ideal when a $1M–$100M+ firm is losing leads in the handoffs
- Typically 6–18 months, then a part-time advisory cadence
The Model
Growth is a relay — and leads get dropped at the handoffs
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
No good lead left to go cold.
Sales & BD
Structured pursuit from inquiry to engagement.
Retention
Signed clients become repeat matters and referrals.
Where Revenue Leaks
Leaking vs. sealed: where the revenue goes
The gap isn’t budget; it’s ownership of the handoffs.
Siloed
- Three teams, three dashboards, no shared number
- Qualified leads cool off in the handoffs
- Growth means buying more ad spend
- No one owns the revenue number
With a fractional CGO
- One unified growth scoreboard for the whole firm
- No qualified lead left to go cold
- More cases without a bigger budget
- One executive owns the number
One Number
One number, owned and moved every week
North-star
One unified revenue scoreboard — owned by one executive, reported weekly, and moved on purpose.
The Four Legs
The four legs of the revenue engine
Demand & marketing oversight
Marketing and agencies held to qualified pipeline and cost-per-signed-case — not vanity metrics.
Intake
The marketing-to-intake handoff owned, so no qualified lead goes cold.
Conversion & business development
Structured pursuit that closes.
Retention
Signed clients turned into repeat matters and a referral engine, so growth compounds.
