It is claimed that the prospects for growth of a company can be established by one key metric. – NPS

What is interesting is that the large bulk of relatively engaged customers are not counted at all: only those that are evangelistic either for or against you!

Companies obtain their Net Promoter Score by asking customers a single question on a 0 to 10 rating scale: “How likely is it that you would recommend our company to a friend or colleague?”. Based on their responses, customers can be categorized into one of three groups: Promoters (9-10 rating), Passives (7-8 rating), and Detractors (0-6 rating). The percentage of Detractors is then subtracted from the percentage of Promoters to obtain a Net Promoter score. A score of 75% or above is considered quite high.

Hi. We’ve been measuring the Net Promoter Score for many organisations over a five year period, using CustomerGauge. You are right about the “polarising” effect of the Net Promoter Score, but the result is to help you understand which customers are passionately “fans” of your business, or likely to tell all their friends about their bad experiences.

Over time, the customer feedback can help organisations make dramatic changes in the way the deal with customers. And often the percentage of engaged customers increases significantly.

From our standpoint, the key benefit of Net Promoter is the way it can be benchmarked across many companies and industries.
