What is Net Promoter Score

Net Promoter Score (NPS) is a quantified measure of “how likely is it that you would recommend [company X] to a friend or colleague?”. It is a simple yet effective way for companies to track and measure promoters and detractors, producing a precise measurement of their performance through the eyes of their customers.

NPS assigns customers into three distinct buckets - promoters, passives and detractors based on their willingness to recommend the company on a scale of 0-10. This is followed by qualitative communication between the company and customer in order to understand the drivers behind the score awarded.

The combination of qualitative and quantitative surveying will provide the valuable data you need to make informed business decisions. Helping gain a better understanding of your customer’s experience and pinpoint areas for improvement.

How is Net Promoter Score Calculated?

Your NPS is calculated by subtracting your percentage of detractors from your percentage of promoters. The best possible NPS is +100, and the worst is -100. Your passives are excluded from the calculation since their loyalty is relatively neutral.
