Growth Leadership · Wallingford Center, CT
The Fractional Chief Growth Officer Wallingford Center 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. A fractional Chief Growth Officer takes the whole engine and makes every team pull toward one revenue number.
In Short
What is a fractional Chief Growth Officer for a law firm?
A fractional CGO is a seasoned growth leader 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 optimizing alone while good leads slip through the gaps.
- 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
Above the Silos
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.
Demand
Measured by cases, not impressions.
Intake
No good lead left to go cold.
Sales & BD
Disciplined follow-up that turns interest into signed clients.
Retention
Signed clients become repeat matters and referrals.
The Difference
Leaking vs. sealed: where the revenue goes
Same marketing spend, two very different outcomes — depending on whether anyone owns the whole path.
Before a CGO
- Marketing, intake, and sales each report their own metric
- Good leads slip between teams
- More revenue requires a bigger budget
- Accountability is diffused
Aligned
- A single source of truth across every team
- Speed-to-lead under five minutes, every time
- More cases without a bigger budget
- One executive owns the number
The Payoff
One number, owned and moved every week
The number
One growth number the whole firm runs on, with a single owner on the hook for it.
What We Own
The four legs of the revenue engine
Demand
Spend pointed at pipeline, not clicks.
Intake & speed-to-lead
The marketing-to-intake handoff owned, so no qualified lead goes cold.
Conversion & business development
Structured pursuit that closes.
Retention, referrals & LTV
Signed clients turned into repeat matters and a referral engine, so growth compounds.
