By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

The Net Promoter Score (NPS), a metric developed by Frederick Reichheld, is still widely used by businesses to gauge customer loyalty.

    ​Your NPS Score Is Not The Problem—Your NPS Program Is

    The problem isn't NPS itself. It's how most organizations run their NPS programs, and how they interpret and use the resulting score.​
