😆 Customer Satisfaction

NPS

The Net Promoter Score (NPS) measures customer experience. Not only is it a simpler, more easily understood and more actionable measure than other customer satisfaction ratings, but it also links directly to the economic growth.

The NPS can be calculated by asking one question "How likely are you to recommend us to a friend or colleague?" and scoring the answers on a zero-to-ten scale. The final score is simply the percentage of customers who are promoters (those who scored 9 or 10) minus the percentage who are detractors (those who scored 0 to 6).

A common approach to query the needed data is to implement this question as an automatic add-on after a completed sales process.

Best practices for an effective customer satisfaction survey

  • Ask the ultimate question and very little else
  • Find a scale that works and stick to it

  • Audit you processes and results to ensure accuracy and freedom from bias

👍 Customer feedback
