Net Promoter Score (NPS) is a management tool, a performance indicator that measures, among all customers who express an opinion, the difference between the promoters and detractors of a product, service, or company.
NPS = % Promoters – % Detractors
When calculating the Net Promoter Score, an essential question must be asked: “How likely is it that you would recommend product/service/company X to a friend or colleague?”. To collect responses and determine the score, a scale from 0 to 10 is used, where 0 means “not at all likely”, 5 is “neutral”, and 10 means “very likely”.

Promoters (with a score of 9-10) are enthusiastic, loyal consumers who will repurchase and recommend the brand to others. Long-term relationships between a brand and consumers reduce costs. The relationship with promoters can be improved through constant communication, offers, follow-up, etc.
Passives (with a score of 7-8) are satisfied but not enthusiastic consumers who are vulnerable to competitors’ offers. To achieve a higher score and avoid an increase in the number of detractors, efforts must be made to turn passives into promoters.
Detractors (with a score of 0-6) are unhappy consumers who can harm the brand by spreading negative word-of-mouth. To decrease the number of detractors, the reasons that led to their dissatisfaction must be researched, and then the right solution must be found to resolve them.
Net Promoter Score results can range between -100% and +100%. A higher figure means a better score, as the number of promoters is higher. If the result is negative, it means the number of detractors is greater than that of promoters, which can be the cause of problems related to revenue growth and the company’s market position.
Comparing NPS across different regions, industries, representatives, or consumer segments often leads to discovering the causes of these differences and thus to suitable solutions for implementation.
Does your company conduct studies to determine consumer loyalty?
What truly matters is how your company ranks against the competition. After calculating the score, you can determine how your company is perceived in the industry and whether the obtained NPS is a competitive advantage or not.
Always seek to improve your score!
Even though they are different performance indicators, Net Promoter Score can be associated with the level of consumer satisfaction. Although NPS measures the likelihood of users recommending a product/service/company and satisfaction refers to the consumer experience, they are linked. A consumer who has had a good consumption experience is much more likely to recommend a product than one who is not satisfied with it. Thus, the net promoter score is a performance indicator aimed at determining consumer opinion about a certain product, company, etc., and establishing the likelihood of them recommending it.
