Promoters are extremely glad, your most loyal prospects. Passives are reasonably glad however not essentially enthusiastic. They could advocate your enterprise if requested however may be tempted by rivals. Detractors are dissatisfied prospects who’re unlikely to purchase once more and will converse negatively a few enterprise.
To calculate your NPS rating, ignore the Passives and subtract the proportion of Detractors from the proportion of Promoters, as follows:
NPS = % Promoters – % Detractors
For instance, if 60% of respondents are Promoters and 20% are Detractors, the NPS could be 40 (60 – 20).
Scores can vary from -100 to +100. In my expertise, a poor NPS ranges from -100 to -1. It means the enterprise has a better proportion of Detractors than Promoters.
A mean NPS ranges from 0 to 30, indicating a mixture of Promoters, Detractors, and Passives. A superb rating runs 31 to 70 — many glad and loyal prospects. Lastly, a wonderful rating is something over 70. That is uncommon and displays distinctive buyer merchandise and service.

Ask follow-up questions the place acceptable for purchasers to elucidate their scores. These particulars can pinpoint what drives satisfaction and frustration, highlighting areas of focus.
