Growth Leadership · Shelton, CT
The Fractional Chief Growth Officer Shelton Law Firms Trust to Own Growth End-to-End
Your firm markets hard, runs an intake team, and works its referrals — 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.
Quick Answer
What is a fractional CGO, and why do Shelton firms hire one?
A fractional Chief Growth Officer for a law firm is a senior revenue executive who owns the entire revenue engine on a part-time, contracted basis. Unlike a CMO who owns marketing or a COO who owns operations, the CGO orchestrates across the silos — making demand, intake, conversion, and retention move the same scoreboard 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
- 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
Growth is a relay — and leads get dropped at the handoffs
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.
Speed-to-lead
Every qualified lead answered fast — none left to cool.
Sales & BD
Structured pursuit from inquiry to engagement.
Referrals
Signed clients become repeat matters and referrals.
The Difference
What changes when one owner runs the number
The gap isn’t budget; it’s ownership of the handoffs.

FAQ
