The Power of Net Promoter Score (NPS) with Feebak

Hamna Nazrin -

In the realm of customer feedback and experience management, one metric stands out as a powerful indicator of customer sentiment and loyalty: the Net Promoter Score (NPS). Introduced by Fred Reichheld in 2003, NPS has gained widespread popularity as a simple yet effective tool for measuring customer satisfaction and predicting business growth. In this blog, we will explore the significance of NPS, how it is calculated, and its role in driving customer loyalty and overall business success, with the added advantage of Feebak, an all-in-one survey solution for Genesys cloud organizations that includes NPS surveys.

What is Net Promoter Score (NPS)?

Net Promoter Score is a customer loyalty metric that gauges the willingness of customers to recommend a company's products or services to others. It is based on the fundamental question: "On a scale of 0 to 10, how likely are you to recommend our company to a friend or colleague?" Respondents are categorized into three groups:

  1. Promoters (Score 9-10): Customers who are highly satisfied and enthusiastic about the company. They are likely to promote the business to others, contributing to positive word-of-mouth marketing.
  2. Passives (Score 7-8): Customers who are satisfied but not particularly enthusiastic. They may be open to competitor offerings and are less likely to promote the company actively.
  3. Detractors (Score 0-6): Customers who are dissatisfied and may even share negative feedback about the company. Detractors pose a risk to the company's reputation and may lead to customer churn.

How is NPS Calculated?

To calculate NPS, subtract the percentage of detractors from the percentage of promoters. The formula is as follows:

NPS = % Promoters - % Detractors

The resulting NPS score can range from -100 to +100, with higher scores indicating higher customer loyalty and advocacy.

Why NPS Matters: The Significance of Measuring Customer Loyalty

  1. Predictive Power: NPS has been shown to correlate with business growth and profitability. Companies with higher NPS scores tend to experience faster revenue growth and increased customer retention rates.
  2. Customer Lifetime Value: Loyal customers who act as brand promoters are more likely to remain with the company and make repeat purchases, thus increasing their lifetime value.
  3. Word-of-Mouth Marketing: Positive word-of-mouth recommendations from promoters can significantly impact brand reputation and attract new customers without significant marketing costs.
