The Net Promoter Score (NPS) was developed after testing several questions to find the one that best aligned with customer loyalty. Fred Reichheld and Bain & Company developed and trademarked it. Since that time many argue that it is by far the best customer loyalty metric on the market and also the most accurate.
Once we have introduced the culture of customer experience measurement in our organization, and we have used the Net Promoter Score metric as the main reference, we always ask ourselves the question:
What is a good NPS score?
ABSOLUTE NET PROMOTER SCORE.
There is no single answer to this question. If you use the absolute Net Promoter Score method (you don’t compare the analysis to either your industry or your direct competition), the higher the scores, the better they are. It’s as simple as that. So, a score of 80 is great, when calculated with the Absolute method.
However, there are scores that depending on the sector are good and in other cases depending on the scores of the sector and the competition, they are not so good.
RELATIVE NET PROMOTER SCORE.
If we analyze our Net Promoter Score relatively, it will be determined by the industry in which the company operates and how it compares to the competition. But for this, we need to obtain data from the industry and competitors.
Here following Survey Sparrow we have contextually chosen some sectors to further emphasize this method of looking at Net Promoter Scores. If you operate in any of these sectors and have a Net Promoter Score above the sector average, it is a good score.
You can compare yourself to famous brands (you can find the information in Trustmary’s post):
Tesla has a Net Promoter Score of 96, Starbucks 77 , Airbnb 74, Netflix 68 and Amazon 64.
Regarding the sector indicators, following Survey Sparrow we have the following references:
a.- Hospitals and Healthcare – The average Net Promoter Score of the hospitals and healthcare sector is 75. The leading player in the sector is DPC Health Care, with an NPS score of 98.
