ECXO

Stop Measuring NPS. Start Measuring Regret. Let’s say it out loud: NPS is overrated. There. We said it. Now, before the CX police come knocking, let’s be clear. The idea behind Net Promoter Score (NPS) is noble: to measure loyalty by asking customers how likely they are to recommend your brand. Cool in theory. But in real life? It’s become a lazy metric.

STOP PAYING FOR SCORES

Futurelab

Don’t turn NPS into a pay-to-win game. #NoBullshitCX One thing we insist on when implementing any Voice of the Customer (VoC) programme: never – and I mean never – turn the score into a KPI tied to bonuses. The moment you do that people stop thinking about customers and start thinking about how to manipulate the number. We have worked with several automotive brands on their VoC rollouts.

ECXO

Closing the Loop on Negative Feedback: The Art of Turning Complaints into Loyalty Let’s be real: nobody loves getting negative feedback. It stings. It messes with our pride. It puts us face-to-face with something we don’t want to admit: we’re not always doing as well as we think we are. But here’s the paradox: negative feedback is a gift. A slightly rude, sometimes passive-aggressive, often uncomfortable gift… but a gift nonetheless.

PeopleMetrics

You’ve designed your NPS survey. You’re asking the right customers, at the right time, in the right way. But what do you do with the results? Too many teams stop at reporting the NPS score.

If you want to move up the curve, from Foundational to Mature and eventually Elite, you need to capture, analyze, and share the NPS insights from your customers.

How to Run an NPS Survey That Actually Works

PeopleMetrics

Now that you know what NPS is (and what it isn’t) let’s get practical. The truth is that too many organizations treat NPS as a box to check.

That’s why the best companies invest time in designing their NPS surveys carefully, so they get feedback they can trust and act on.
