Analyze Net Promoter Score (NPS) using six sigma

Today, i am writing this blog about Net Promoter Score (NPS). Since 2003, NPS was adopted by many companies.
It determine customer loyality database which align with revenue. In Simple, if NPS is high, you are doing very good. If it’s low, then you need to analyze your score.
It was introduced by Reichheld in his 2003 Harvard Business Review article “One Number You Need to Grow”
NPS answer very simple question. ” How likely is it that you would recommend our company/product/service to a friend or colleague? The scoring for this answer is most often based on a 0 to 10 scale”
Those who respond with a score of 9 -10 are called Promoters, and are considered likely to exhibit value-creating behaviors, such as buying more, remaining customers for longer, and making more positive referrals to other potential customers.
Those who respond with a score of 0 to 6 are labeled Detractors, and they are believed to be less likely to exhibit the value-creating behaviors.
Responses of 7 and 8 are labeled Passives, and their behavior falls in the middle of Promoters and Detractors.
% of Promoter  – % of Detractors = NPS
NPS can be as low as −100 (everybody is a detractor) or as high as +100 (everybody is a promoter). An NPS that is positive (i.e., higher than zero) is felt to be good, and an NPS of +50 is excellent.


Depending on your score, you can go in depth with root cause analysis why your NPS score is low or high. You can do root cause with technique as below:
Traditional VOC (Voice of Customer) Collection Methods
