Fractional Chief Growth Officer
A Fractional Chief Growth Officer for West Island Law Firms — One Owner for the Whole Revenue Engine
Your West Island practice invests in marketing, intake, and BD — yet they report separately and good leads cool off between teams. A fractional CGO sits above the silos and unifies demand, intake, conversion, and retention under one owner.
In Short
What is a fractional Chief Growth Officer for a law firm?
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. 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
- A fit for $1M–$100M+ firms whose marketing, intake, and sales report separately
- 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.
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
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
- Qualified leads cool off in the handoffs
- Growth means buying more ad spend
- No one owns the revenue number
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
One Number
One number, owned and moved every week
The number
One unified revenue scoreboard — owned by one executive, reported weekly, and moved on purpose.
The Four Legs
Where a fractional CGO owns the work for a West Island firm
Demand & marketing oversight
Marketing and agencies held to qualified pipeline and cost-per-signed-case — not vanity metrics.
Intake & speed-to-lead
The marketing-to-intake handoff owned, so no qualified lead goes cold.
Sales & BD
Structured pursuit that closes.
Retention
Every client feeds the next.
