Fractional CGO Services
The Fractional Chief Growth Officer Willowbrook Law Firms Trust to Own Growth End-to-End
Your Willowbrook practice invests in marketing, intake, and BD — but each one runs on its own metric and qualified leads slip through the handoffs. A fractional Chief Growth Officer takes the whole engine and makes every team pull toward one revenue number.
Quick Answer
What is a fractional Chief Growth Officer for a law firm?
A fractional CGO is a seasoned growth leader 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 — making demand, intake, conversion, and retention move the same scoreboard instead of each working hard while qualified leads leak between the handoffs.
- Senior revenue leadership for about 20–40% of a full-time hire’s price
- Built for $1M–$100M+ firms where the teams don’t share one number
- Engagements usually run 6–18 months, then ease into advisory support
The Model
Why no one owns the baton
Marketing, intake, sales, and retention each run their own leg. A fractional CGO owns the baton — so qualified leads stop getting dropped between teams.
Marketing
Measured by cases, not impressions.
Speed-to-lead
Every qualified lead answered fast — none left to cool.
Conversion
Disciplined follow-up that turns interest into signed clients.
Referrals
Happy clients recycle into new pipeline.
The Difference
What changes when one owner runs the number
The gap isn’t budget; it’s ownership of the handoffs.
Siloed
- Marketing, intake, and sales each report their own metric
- Good leads slip between teams
- Growth means buying more ad spend
- No one owns the revenue number
With a fractional CGO
- One unified growth scoreboard for the whole firm
- No qualified lead left to go cold
- More cases without a bigger budget
- A single accountable owner
The Payoff
The growth a fractional CGO is accountable for
