What we are going to cover Introduction to NPS NPS in a partnership working environment How to do it Strength and weaknesses Time for discussions and Q and A
Introduction Leisure-net is the leading provider of Net Promoter Score (NPS) to the UK leisure, sports, health and fitness sector Accredited NPS Practitioner NPS is (if used properly), probably the most powerful single indicator of your customers view of your business It is a proven indicator of customer satisfaction, loyalty and commitment
Net Promoter Score The Net Promoter Score is worked out by subtracting your % of Detractors from your % of Promoters. The NPS question is How likely is it that you would recommend this service to a friend or colleague? With 0 being not at all and 10 being extremely
The NPS calculation
Promoters (score 9-10) are loyal enthusiasts who will stay longer, spend more and refer others, fuelling growth. Passives (score 7-8) are satisfied but unenthusiastic customers who are vulnerable to leaving or competitive offerings. Detractors (score 0-6) are unhappy customers who can damage your brand and impede growth through negative word-of-mouth.
Net Promoter Score So, if in the example below you had 20% scoring between 0 and 6, 40% 7 and 8 and 40% scoring 9 and 10, then your NPS would be 20 ( ie 20-40%) Detractors 20% Passive 40% Promoters 40% 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 NPS = 20
Satisfaction surveys can be misleading; most defectors ARE satisfied
Is there a universal ultimate question? Would you recommend us to a friend? Probes both dimensions of loyalty. Head Heart * Best features * They know me * Best service * They value me * Best price * They listen to me * They share my values
Tailoring the conversation based on NPS Likelihood to recommend Promoter What would you tell someone to get them to try our brand/service? Passive What could we do to improve? Detractor What are the reasons for the score that you gave? Drivers of advocacy Opportunities to delight Issues and concerns

Drivers of detraction Tend to be hygiene type of attributes The basic such as cleaning etc But also if you to fail to value your member in serious ways this can also create detractors
