What Is Net Promoter?

Net Promoter is a discipline by which companies profitably grow by focusing on their customers. A successful Net Promoter program includes 5 elements: 1) metrics proven to link to growth; 2) leadership practices that instill customer focus, passion, and values; 3) organizational strategies to ensure adoption; 4) integration with core business processes, and 5) operational systems to support the initiative.

The Ultimate Question

One simple question - Would you recommend us to a friend or colleague? - allows companies to track promoters and detractors and produces a clear measure of an organization's performance through its customers' eyes. More

The Net Promoter Score

In industry after industry, the "Net Promoter Score" - the percentage of Promoters minus the percentage of Detractors - provides the single most reliable indicator of a company's ability to grow. More


Promoters

Promoters are customers who are so enthusiastic about a firm or brand that they not only increase their own purchases, but also refer their colleagues or friends. More

Detractors

Detractors are customers who feel so badly treated that they cut back on purchases, switch to the competition, and warn others to stay away from the company. More


Good Profits

Good profits are earnings from creating customer value, which in turn, creates customers who are promoters.More

Bad Profits

Bad profits are profits earned at the customer's expense; in other words, profits earned from customers, which then become detractors. More
