- How many responses were included?
- Was the sample representative of your customer base?
- Was this relationship NPS or transactional NPS?
- Did the survey reach recent, inactive, unhappy, and high-value customers?
- Are some segments much higher or lower than the overall score?
How to maintain and improve an NPS score of 60
- Validate that the sample represents the customer base
- Look for lower-scoring segments that are hidden by the average
- Study the strongest promoter themes and protect them during growth
- Use transactional NPS to ensure key journeys match the strength of the relationship score
