Simple Metric
A Net Promoter Score is a simple metric that is based on the single 11 point scale survey question as seen here: Sample Net Promoter Survey. Survey respondents are broken into 3 categories, depending on the score they give:
- Promoters – respondents who answer a 9 or 10 to the recommend question represent your firm’s strongest allies and are most likely to promote your firm to others.
- Passives – respondents who answer a 7 or 8 to the recommend question are indifferent to your firm.
- Detractors – respondents who answer with a 6 or lower are unlikely to continue working with your firm.
- The Net Promoter Score is a single number – simple to track and understand, yet powerful enough to drive change.
- The Net Promoter Score is sensitive to change – every single client interaction will impact it.
- Industry level Net Promoter Score values are available to benchmark your firm against competitors.
The Net Promoter Score is calculated by taking the % of promoters minus the % of detractors. The Net Promoter Score was developed by Bain consultant and author Frederick Reicheld. More information on Net Promoter Score can be found at www.netpromoter.com.
