What Is A Net Promoter Score? Net Promoter Score (NPS) is a tool used to gauge customer loyalty and satisfaction with a brand. It’s based on one straightforward question: “How likely are you to recommend us to friends and family?” Responses to this question reveal valuable insights, showing how many customers are loyal advocates, how many are on the fence, and how many are dissatisfied. The scale ranges from 0 (not at all likely) to 10 (extremely likely). What Does A Net Promoter Score Of 74 Mean? A NPS of 74 is exceptionally high and indicates that our customers are extremely satisfied and loyal. NPS range from 0 to 100, with the telecommunications industry averaging a score of 30 according to CustomerGauge.com.
