Net Promoter Score

Net Promoter Score (NPS) is a customer loyalty and satisfaction metric developed by Fred Reichheld in 2003, measured through a single question: How likely is it that you would recommend our company/product/service to a friend or colleague? The metric categorizes respondents into promoters, passives, and detractors, providing a straightforward indicator of customer advocacy and business growth potential.
