About Net Promoter

Net Promoter® is both a loyalty metric and a discipline for using customer feedback to fuel profitable growth. Developed by Fred Reichheld, Satmetrix, and Bain & Company, the concept was first popularized through Reichheld's book The Ultimate Question, and has since been embraced by leading companies worldwide as the standard for measuring and improving customer loyalty. The Net Promoter Score, or NPS®, is a loyalty metric that is based on customers' likelihood to recommend the company's product or service. NPS® is calculated as the percentage of customers who are Promoters, minus the percentage who are Detractors. More information is available at www.netpromoter.com.
