Abstract

This article examines the strengths and limitations of the net promoter score (NPS) concept from a practitioner's perspective. The data show that the scaling of the intention-to-recommend question is not critical and that the NPS is not the only net customer feedback metric that correlates with financial performance and loyalty scales from which they are computed.
