Create and Send a Net Promoter Score Survey to Measure Customer Loyalty

The Net Promoter Score is an industry-wide standardized measure of customer loyalty. First introduced in 2004 by Friedrich Reichheld, Bain & Company, and Satmetrix, it has been widely accepted by all industries over the past decade.

The Net Promoter Score is a simple-to-use tool that evaluates customer loyalty by asking them a single question, “how likely are you to recommend our product/service to a friend or colleague?” Customers answer this question on a scale of 0-10. Based on their responses to this question, the survey takers are categorized into 3 broad categories:

Promoters

 These are the customers who are satisfied with your service and are extremely loyal to you. They rate you as 9-10.

Detractors

This group comprises dissatisfied and unhappy customers. Their rating ranges from 0-6.

Passives

This is the lukewarm group of customers. They are neither loyal nor detracting; they’re passive and so their responses are not taken into consideration when calculating the final NPS score. They rate you at 7 or 8 on the NPS scale.

The final NPS score is calculated on the basis of these three categories –

NPS = % Promoters – % Detractors

NPS survey scores can range from -100 to +100, depending on the number of promoters and detractors. Ideally, an NPS score of above 20 is considered good as it means you have crossed the threshold of stakeholder satisfaction.
