Net Promoter Score

Updated 

The Net Promoter Score (NPS) gauges customer loyalty by asking respondents how likely they are to recommend a product or service on a scale from 0 to 10. As an industry-standard metric, it enables businesses to monitor customer sentiment, pinpoint areas for improvement, and take data-driven actions based on customer feedback.

Example of an NPS question:

On a scale of 0 to 10, how likely are you to recommend our product/service to a friend or colleague?

Based on their responses, customers were classified into three categories:

  1. Promoters (9-10): Loyal enthusiasts who continue to make purchases and refer others.

  2. Passives (7-8): Satisfied but unenthusiastic customers.

  3. Detractors (0-6): Unhappy customers who can harm your brand through negative word-of-mouth.

Sprinklr surveys also offer NPS questions to collect feedback about loyalty and satisfaction from the respondents.

Business Problems Solved

  • Gathering Insights for Customer Loyalty: To evaluate the effectiveness of a new product launch, a reliable method is needed to measure customer loyalty and their likelihood to recommend the product. By adding an NPS question to the survey, responses can be easily categorized into Promoters, Passives, and Detractors. This provides a clear metric to track customer satisfaction with the new product, aiding in the adjustment of marketing and product development strategies. Feedback from Promoters can be used to generate testimonials for marketing, while Detractors can be contacted for follow-up to address their concerns.

  • Using NPS to Improve Customer Experience: Leveraging NPS data can effectively identify and address key customer issues, leading to enhanced product quality and increased customer satisfaction.

NPS allows businesses to benchmark their performance against industry standards and assess their market position. By categorizing respondents into Promoters, Passives, and Detractors, businesses can leverage Promoters for marketing, engage Passives to build loyalty, and address feedback from Detractors.
