Improving your Net Promoter Score ®
A one day course for anyone who is using Net Promoter Scores® as a measure of Customer Service or those who want to increase the number of customers who recommend their company to others.
Introduction
Net Promoter Score® (NPS) is fast becoming one of the UKs most popular ways of measuring customer service within an organisation.
NPS is based on the fundamental idea that every company's customers can be divided into three groups. "Promoters" are loyal enthusiasts who buy from a company over and over again and urge their friends to do the same. "Passives" are satisfied but unenthusiastic customers who can be easily wooed by the competition. “Detractors" are unhappy customers who just haven’t got around to leaving.
Asking the killer question “How likely would you be to recommend this company?” allows companies to track promoters and detractors, producing a clear measure of an organization's performance through its customers' eyes. Companies that achieve long-term profitable growth—have Net Promoter Scores twice as high as the average company. And NPS leaders outgrow their competitors in most industries—by an average of 2.5 times.
The best way to gauge the efficiency of a company's growth engine is to take the percentage of customers who are promoters (P) and subtract the percentage who are detractors (D). This equation is how we calculate a Net Promoter Score for a company. In simple terms - P — D = NPS.
