NPS (Net Promoter Score)
A customer loyalty metric calculated from a single question: "How likely are you to recommend this company?" on a 0–10 scale.
Net Promoter Score (NPS) is a simple but powerful customer loyalty metric based on a single survey question: "How likely are you to recommend this company to a friend or colleague?" on a 0-10 scale.
NPS Calculation
- Promoters: Respondents who answer 9-10; actively recommend.
- Passives: Respondents who answer 7-8; satisfied but not vocal.
- Detractors: Respondents who answer 0-6; dissatisfied, likely to churn.
NPS = (% Promoters - % Detractors). Score ranges from -100 (all detractors) to +100 (all promoters).
NPS Benchmarks
- Above +50: Excellent (rare, high-performing companies).
- 0 to +50: Good (healthy business).
- Below 0: Poor (customers are detractors; risk of churn).
Why NPS Matters
NPS is strongly correlated with revenue growth, customer retention, and lifetime value. A single-question survey is easy to deploy at scale, making NPS ideal for tracking loyalty trends over time.
