What is it?
A metric used to assess the likelihood of customers to recommend a company’s products or services to others.
How does it work?
The Net Promoter Score (NPS) is a widely used key performance indicator (KPI) that measures customer loyalty and satisfaction. It evaluates how likely customers are to recommend a company’s products or services to others, ranging on a scale from -100 to 100.
When is it useful?
In a business context, the NPS is often used to gauge the overall satisfaction of customers and their loyalty to a brand. Companies use this metric to identify areas of improvement, measure the impact of new initiatives on customer satisfaction, and compare their performance against competitors. It’s calculated by asking customers to rate on a scale of 0 to 10 how likely they are to recommend the company to others.
Real-World Impact
A technology company, for instance, might use the NPS to evaluate the effectiveness of its customer support. By surveying customers after each support interaction, the company could identify whether its support team is promoting customer loyalty and satisfaction or driving customers away. Over time, changes in the NPS can indicate whether changes to support procedures or training have improved customer satisfaction.

While the NPS is a powerful tool for measuring customer satisfaction and loyalty, it’s most effective when used in conjunction with other metrics and customer feedback. It provides a broad measure of customer sentiment, but doesn’t provide detailed insights into specific areas of satisfaction or dissatisfaction. Therefore, it’s often used along with other metrics to get a more holistic view of customer experience.
