Fractional CGO Services for West Covina Law Firms: Put Marketing, Intake & Sales on One Team
You spend on marketing, field the leads, and chase business development — while no single person owns the number they’re all supposed to move. We work above the silos and makes every team pull toward one revenue number.
The Short Version
What is a fractional CGO, and why do West Covina firms hire one?
A fractional CGO is a seasoned growth leader who runs the full path from lead to signed client to repeat business on a fractional schedule. Where a CMO owns marketing and a COO owns operations, 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.
- Executive growth leadership at roughly 20–40% of a full-time CGO’s cost
- Ideal when a $1M–$100M+ firm is losing leads in the handoffs
- Typically 6–18 months, then a part-time advisory cadence
The Model
The revenue relay a fractional CGO owns
Marketing, intake, sales, and retention each run their own leg. A fractional CGO owns the baton — so qualified leads stop getting dropped between teams.
Demand
Pointed at qualified pipeline and cost-per-signed-case, not clicks.
Intake
Every qualified lead answered fast — none left to cool.
Sales & BD
Disciplined follow-up that turns interest into signed clients.
Retention
Happy clients recycle into new pipeline.

FAQ
Common questions
