Net Promoter® Score - Scoring Logic

What is the this?

The NPS is a scoring model developed by Bain & Co. Consultant Frederick F. Reichheld.

How does it work?

It basically involves dividing a 10 Pt. Scale question - "How likely are you to recommend Company/Product to your friend/colleague?" - In the 10 Pt. Scale is then divided into three sections :

  • Promoters - Users who gave a 9 or a 10
  • Passive - Users who gave a 7 or 8
  • Detractor - Users who gave a score between 1 and 6

So how can I make it work with my survey?

Although it is recommended that you use this model with a 10 Pt. Scale (1-10) it is not necessary to have a 10 Pt. scale. If you have data already collected with a different scale you can still use the basics of the model.

On any "Multiple Choice" question, you can divide the Answers into three categories : Promoters, Passive and Detractors. The system will then calculate the aggregate responses of each of the three categories as well as the "Net Promoter" -- i.e. Promoters minus the Detractors.
