Net Promoter Score (NPS)

Overview

The Net Promoter Score (NPS) will provide you with an estimation of loyalty and satisfaction of clients by asking one simple question:

“On a scale of 1 to 10, how likely are you to recommend us to others, 10 being extremely likely and 0 being not likely at all”

Clients respond on a scale of 0 to 10:

Promoters (9 and 10) are loyal and enthusiastic clients that will actively promote products and services, which can lead to growth
Passives (7 and 8) are satisfied with products and services but unenthusiastic, and vulnerable to competitors
Detractors (0 to 6) are dissatisfied clients that are at risk of leaving your organisation or actively discouraging others from joining. These clients can significantly impede growth.

An example of NPS

You survey 1000 clients.
364 give responses 9-10 – Promoters (364/1000 = 36.4%)
408 give responses 7-8 – Passives (408/1000 = 40.8%)
228 give responses 0-6 – Detractors (228/1000 = 22.8%)

NPS = 36.4% – 22.8% = +13.6
