Fractional Chief Growth Officer
Fractional CGO Services for Pleasant Hill Law Firms: Put Marketing, Intake & Sales on One Team
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 is a fractional CGO, and why do Pleasant Hill firms hire one?
A fractional CGO is a seasoned growth leader who owns the entire revenue engine a few days a week rather than full-time. Rather than owning one function like marketing or ops, the CGO orchestrates across 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
- Built for $1M–$100M+ firms where the teams don’t share one number
- Typically 6–18 months, then a part-time advisory cadence
The Revenue Relay
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
Measured by cases, not impressions.
Intake
No good lead left to go cold.
Conversion
Structured pursuit from inquiry to engagement.
Referrals
Happy clients recycle into new pipeline.
Where Revenue Leaks
Leaking vs. sealed: where the revenue goes
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
- More revenue requires a bigger budget
- Accountability is diffused
With a fractional CGO
- A single source of truth across every team
- No qualified lead left to go cold
- More cases without a bigger budget
- One executive owns the number
The Scoreboard
One number, owned and moved every week
North-star

The four legs of the revenue engine

Intake & speed-to-lead
The gap where most firms quietly lose cases, fixed.
Sales & BD
Structured pursuit that closes.
Retention, referrals & LTV
Signed clients turned into repeat matters and a referral engine, so growth compounds.
