What is a Net Promoter Score (NPS)?
A net promoter score (NPS) is the most trusted customer experience metric used to gauge customer loyalty, satisfaction, and enthusiasm with a company.
An NPS score measures customer loyalty by looking at their likelihood of recommending a given business. An NPS score is measured with a single survey question:
”On a scale from 1 to 10, how likely are you to recommend this product/company to a friend or colleague?”

The scale goes from -100 to 100. Generally speaking, scores above 0 are good, while scores above 60 are considered very good. Companies with an NPS above 70 are regarded as exceptional, with a strong reputation and high customer loyalty.
How is an NPS Calculated?
Place each survey score into one of these areas:
0 - 6 Detractors: Unhappy customers who might damage our brand through negative word-of-mouth.
7 - 8 Passives: Satisfied but unenthusiastic customers who are vulnerable to competitive offerings.
9 - 10 Promoters: Loyal enthusiasts who will keep buying and refer others.
Tally each survey, calculate the % of Promoters and the % of Detractors, and subtract the Detractor percentage from the Promoter percentage to find your NPS score.
