Overview
Net Promoter Score (NPS) is a widely used metric in the SaaS industry for measuring customer satisfaction and loyalty. It helps businesses understand how likely their customers are to recommend their product or service. The score is gathered through a simple survey question asking users to rate their likelihood of recommending the product on a scale from 0 to 10. Responses are then categorized to provide actionable insights.
Use Cases
- Measure overall customer satisfaction and brand loyalty.
- Identify unhappy users and take proactive actions.
- Track customer sentiment over time and measure improvements.
- Optimize the user experience by targeting specific groups.
Creating and customizing the NPS
First, go to Feedback > NPS from the navbar, and click Create NPS.
Setting up the NPS question
The default NPS question follows the industry-standard format: “How likely is it that you would recommend [Company/Product] to a friend or colleague?” You can personalize this question by inserting dynamic variables such as the user’s name or company.
Adding a follow-up question
Encouraging users to provide additional context helps in analyzing feedback. There are two types of follow-up questions:- Universal: A single follow-up question regardless of the score.
- Score-Based: Different follow-up questions based on the score given.
For better insights, open-ended follow-up questions are recommended.
