About NPS
Net promoter score is a single question-based survey that is developed by Fred Reichheld in conjunction with Bain & Company and Satmetrix in 2003. NPS was presented by Reichheld in the Harvard Business Review, in an article entitled ‘The Only Number You Need to Grow’. The core idea of NPS is to focus on the concept of the loyalty of the stakeholders in a business. The method is based on a simple core question which is based on “How likely would you be to recommend…” The response to these questions is based on an 11-point scale ranging from 0 to 10.
The respondents are categorized into three segments.
- Promoters: (score 9-10) are loyal enthusiasts who will refer.
- Passives: (score 7-8) are satisfied but unenthusiastic stakeholders who are vulnerable
- Detractors: (score 0-6) are unhappy stakeholders who can damage the brand and impede growth through negative word-of-mouth.
