How To Calculate Your Score

Conventional accounting can't distinguish a dollar of good profits - the kind that lead to growth - from a dollar of bad profits, which undermine it. A wholly new kind of measurement - the Net Promoter Score (NPS) - can focus an entire organization on improving every customer's experience day in and day out. The process is both simple and radical. Just as managers now use financial reports to make sure they and their team members are meeting profit goals, they can use this new metric to make sure they are meeting customer-relationship goals. Therein lies the path to true growth. This website provides a primer to help you learn how to calculate your company's NPS. (For a more thorough explanation, see Chapter 1 and 2 of The Ultimate Question.
