NPS (Net Promoter Score) is a loyalty metric based on one survey question: "How likely are you to recommend us to a friend or colleague?", answered on a scale from 0 to 10. The score is the percentage of promoters minus the percentage of detractors, giving a result between -100 and +100.
Why it matters
NPS is quick to collect and easy to track over time, so teams use it as a rough signal of customer sentiment and word-of-mouth potential. A follow-up question such as "Why did you give that score?" usually produces the most useful feedback.
Example
Respondents are grouped as promoters (9-10), passives (7-8) and detractors (0-6).
200 responses: 100 promoters, 60 passives, 40 detractors
NPS = 50% - 20% = +30
Passives count toward the total but not toward either percentage.
Common mistakes
- Comparing your score with another industry. Typical scores differ widely between sectors.
- Surveying only happy users or only after support contact, which biases the result.
- Treating the number as the goal. Acting on the comments matters more than moving the score.
- Expecting NPS alone to predict churn or revenue.
