The Net Promoter Score is a standard metric across all verticals that acts as a strong signal for the quality of the products and services. Let's deep dive into its role in measuring business success and its dynamics in the technology and broadcasting industries.
Short reminder of what NPS is all about
Net Promoter Score (NPS) is a metric designed to predict customer purchase and referral behavior. It differentiates itself from other metrics by not measuring a customer’s satisfaction regarding a specific event or interaction. Instead, NPS is meant to measure your customer's overall loyalty to your brand and companies can use the calculated score to indicate its potential for real, sustainable growth through customer retention and word-of-mouth referrals.
Responses to the NPS survey or question belong to three groups (via Zendesk):
-
Detractors are customers who gave a score of 0 to 6, indicating a dissatisfaction with your company.
-
Passives are customers who gave a score of either 7 or 8, indicating that they are not really eager to recommend your company to others.
-
Promoters are customers who gave a score of 9 or 10, and they are likely to actively recommend your company to others.
