How to read this metric
What it measures
Net Promoter Score (NPS) is a gold-standard customer loyalty metric that measures how likely your customers are to recommend your product or service to others. It divides customers into three categories: Promoters (9-10), Passives (7-8), and Detractors (0-6).
Why it matters
NPS is a leading indicator of future growth. A high NPS correlates with lower churn, higher customer lifetime value, and significant organic growth through word-of-mouth referrals. It is the ultimate measure of whether you are building a brand people love.
How to improve NPS
- Close the Loop: Reach out to detractors to understand their pain points and solve their problems.
- Empower Promoters: Give your fans tools and incentives to share their positive experiences with others.
- Analyze Passives: Understand what is preventing “satisfied” customers from becoming “enthusiastic” fans.
- Consistency is Key: Ensure a high-quality experience at every touchpoint, from sales to customer support.
