NPS: What It Is and How to Calculate It

You may have heard the term "NPS" on everyone's lips lately. But what exactly is NPS? And how is it calculated? This blog post will give you a crash course in everything you need to know about NPS.

NPS stands for Net Promoter Score. It is a measure of customer satisfaction that can be used to gauge the health of your business (whether it is a beauty centre, dental clinic, hair salon or any other type).

NPS is calculated by asking customers how likely they are to recommend your product or service to a friend or family member on a scale of 0 to 10. Customers who answer 9 or 10 are considered "promoters", those who answer 7 or 8 are considered "passives", and those who answer 0-6 are considered "detractors".

The formula for calculating NPS is as follows
NPS = % Promoters – % Detractors

For example, if 50% of respondents are promoters, 20% are passives and 30% are detractors, then the NPS would be 20 (50% – 30%).

Why NPS is important

NPS is important because it is closely correlated with growth. Companies with high NPS scores tend to grow faster than companies with low NPS scores. This is because promoters are more likely to become repeat customers, recommend your product or service to other people and give you valuable feedback. Detractors, on the other hand, can damage your reputation and discourage others from doing business with you.

Does it take a long time to do these calculations?

The truth is, yes. It will take a lot of time if you plan to do it manually. However, technology can do the hard work for us. The Zeeclip Suite takes care of sending out a survey periodically and automatically, if you wish, so that your customers or patients can rate your business, as well as your employees. You will only need to open the NPS report and you will see how it evolves over time.

How to improve your NPS score

There are three main things you can do to improve your NPS score:

• Increase customer loyalty among promoters
• Turn passives into promoters
• Turn detractors into passives

Increase customer loyalty among promoters

You can increase customer loyalty among promoters by providing exceptional customer service, responding to customer feedback and offering loyalty programmes or other incentives.

Turn passives into promoters

You can turn passives into promoters by addressing their complaints and concerns, showing them that you value their custom and giving them reasons to engage more with your brand.

Turn detractors into passives

You can turn detractors into passives by contacting them directly, finding out why they are unhappy and making the necessary changes. You should also make sure they do not spread negative information about your brand.
