The Importance Of Net Promoter Surveys

Research has shown that the Net Promoter Score®, also known as NPS®, acts as a growth indicator for an organization. In fact, businesses which are leaders in the Net Promoter System grow at more than twice the rate of their competitors. Therefore, by using NPS as a foundation, a business can significantly boost growth and profits.

 

What is the Net Promoter Score?

The Net Promoter Score is a metric designed to measure customer loyalty. It is said to be one of the most important metrics for a business to measure loyalty, paving way for ultimate professional success. It tracks how customers spread the word about a brand to their peers, friends, and family. The developers of the NPS say that this representation results in free word-of-mouth marketing for a business.

Deploying Net Promoter Surveys

Some businesses implemented Net Promoter Surveys as a way to drastically improve relationships with their customers. It provides significant feedback – the perspective of customers – thereby empowering companies with enough data to easily track customer loyalty as a metric. These Net Promoter Surveys gather information that companies can then act on in order to increase their NPS.

Irrespective of the type of customers, be it the attendees at an event, or employees of an organization, the Net Promoter Score provides a quick way to collect feedback through one single question that simply asks customers how likely they are to recommend a business to friends or family members. This is arguably one of the best and easiest questions to measure customer loyalty for a brand and it’s services or products.

 

The Net Promoter Survey provides the data that business owners need to get an idea of what customers think about their brand. It also provides a method for responding to any negative perception or experiences they may have had. The Net Promoter Score also allows for a simplified way to set internal performance goals and external benchmarks used for comparing information with competitors in the same industry.

Once a business owner receives the results of the Net Promoter Survey, they can analyze the information that shows the overall Net Promoter Score as well as the percentage of customers who are loyal, not loyal and the rest who have a very neutral perception about your business.

Using the Net Promoter Score Intelligently

Some businesses use NPS to solve problems with their customer base and improve customer relationships. At the same time, it is even more crucial to leverage the collected feedback effectively. Businesses can ensure this by maintaining the contact information of their customers so that they can be surveyed in the future, as a follow-up. It is also possible for businesses to sort customers into different categories – those who are loyal, passive or neutral, and those who are not loyal.

Business owners can also track changes in these relationships and rectify any issues that may have damaged the relationship between the brand and its customers. These surveys are also useful for identifying why customer relationships fail and what can be done to regain brand loyalty and trust.
