What Is NPS?
NPS stands for Net Promoter Score—a proven method for measuring customer loyalty and predicting growth.
One question. Big impact:
"How likely are you to recommend our product or service to others?"
Customers respond on a scale from 0 to 10:
Promoters (9–10): Loyal advocates who refer others
Passives (7–8): Neutral users vulnerable to competitors
Detractors (0–6): Unhappy customers who churn (or worse)
NPS = % Promoters - % Detractors

Why NPS Matters More in 2025
In 2025, buyer journeys are nonlinear and influenced heavily by word of mouth, social proof, and community sentiment. NPS isn't just a feedback metric—it's your early-warning radar, a brand amplifier, and a boardroom talking point.
Whether you're trying to:
Justify CS headcount to leadership
Align product and CX teams around customer themes
Forecast expansion potential with real data
NPS gives you the signal that links product love to financial outcomes.
