What is Wrong with Net Promoter Score

General Finance 2018-06-28 v1

Abstract

Net-Promoter Score (NPS) is now ubiquitous as an easily-collected market research metric, having displaced many serious market research processes. Unfortunately, this has been its sole success. It possesses few, if any, of the characteristics that might be regarded as highly desirable in a high-level market research metric; on the contrary, it has done considerable damage both to companies and to their customers.
