Create NPS Survey Engagements

This article explains how to create an NPS® Survey Engagement. Gainsight recommends you to refer to the Anatomy of Engagements article and then proceed with this article. 

Overview

Net Promoter Score®, or NPS®, measures customer experience and predicts business growth. The NPS® survey is a method of measuring your customers’ overall satisfaction with your company’s product or service and a proxy for brand loyalty. The survey itself is simple.

You can ask a question like “On a scale of 0–10, how likely are you to recommend this company’s product or service to a friend or colleague?” Based on their rating, the customers are classified into one of three categories: Detractors, Passives, and Promoters.

NPS® provides insights into your customer loyalty spectrum. As you move up the scoring scale, from 0 to 10, customers defect at lower rates, will spend more and will move from negative to positive.

To calculate your NPS®, EE subtracts the percentage of Detractors from the percentage of Promoters. For example, if 70% of respondents were Promoters and 10% were Detractors, your Net Promoter is a score of 60 as shown below.

Example: If you received 100 responses to your survey:

  • 10 responses were in the 0–6 range (Detractors) - 10%
  • 20 responses were in the 7–8 range (Passives) - 20%
  • 70 responses were in the 9–10 range (Promoters) - 70%
  • NPS® = 60 (70% - 10%)

The NPS® range: -100 to 100
