14 Globally, CSPs score -19 on the Net Promoter Score scale (ranging from -100 to +100), calculated over all countries surveyed The Net Promoter Score (NPS) is the traditional measure of word-of-mouth advocacy. The score is calculated by simply asking consumers on a scale of 0 to 10 their likelihood to recommend a specific company or brand. According to the theory : Promoters (score 9-10) are loyal enthusiasts who will keep buying and refer others, fueling growth. Passives (score 7-8) are satisfied but unenthusiastic customers who are vulnerable to competitive offerings. Detractors (score 0-6) are unhappy customers who can damage the brand and impede growth through negative word-of-mouth.
