Net Promoter Score® Survey (NPS® Survey) is a well-known metric used for measuring customer satisfaction and loyalty. With an aim to predict the business growth and revitalize the customer experience, this survey involves asking customers a question: “On a scale ranging from 0 to 10, how likely are you to recommend our product/service to your friends or colleagues?” This is usually followed by another open-ended question: “Why did you give us that score?” This question comes with a dialog box for customers to write their feedback in. Leveraging data from this question empowers brands to improve their service, delivery, client relationships, etc. This plays a crucial role in increasing loyalty and boosting customer lifetime value.
As the scale of an NPS® survey ranges from 0 (Not at all likely) to 10 (Extremely likely), the respondents can be grouped as follows:
To calculate Net Promoter Score®, the percentage of detractors (who gave you a rating between 0-6) should be subtracted from the percentage of promoters (who gave you a rating of 9 or 10). While the Net Promoter Score® can be interpreted as a value from -100 to 100; where the negative value describes that the brand has more detractors than promoters and positive in the opposite scenario i.e. when the brand has more promoters than detractors.
An NPS® survey is considered to be a great predictor of business growth. When a brand’s NPS® is high (or better than the average industry standards), it indicates that the brand has successfully established a strong and healthy relationship with its customers. These customers prove to be evangelists for the business, spread a positive word of mouth, and play an indispensable role in the growth cycle.
While there exist multiple customer satisfaction metrics which are valuable on a strategic level, relying completely on those does not help brands to paint a detailed picture of the customer experience. An NPS® survey is important because it enables businesses to:
From the given range of values between -100 to +100, any score greater than 0 is considered to be ‘good’ as it shows that a brand has more promoters than detractors.
An NPS® score of +100 shows that there are no detractors for a business and every respondent is highly enthusiastic to recommend the company to others. This score is practically infeasible and no brand has ever achieved it.
While high-end companies usually have an NPS® of 70 and above but don’t consider it the domain of global and renowned brands only! Do you know in 2018, Netflix had a Net Promoter Score® of 64, giving a tough competition to PayPal (63), followed by Amazon (54), Google (53), and even Apple (49).
If the value of the Net Promoter Score® goes below 0, it shows that a brand has more detractors and fewer promoters. Getting a negative NPS® is an alarming situation for businesses as it makes them realize that they are not performing well. A bad NPS® also propels businesses to improve their offerings, rectify the gaps, minimize the unhappy customers, and increase their promoters.
While NPS® surveys are quite simple to create, it’s important to keep in mind the long-term use of data before deciding how to administer them. Using survey software can help but it will measure a single metric only, which in turn will restrict your ability to take action on the generated results. In such scenarios, leveraging a robust customer experience management (CXM) solution or NPS® software can help. By empowering you to gain insights into all interactions across every touchpoint of the customer journey, CXM solutions can help you gather NPS® data to see which touchpoints are performing and which are not. Here are the questions you should include in your NPS survey:
