Net Promoter and Re-adapting the Wheel

Like a lot of apparently good ideas, the 'devil is in the detail' with Net Promoter Programs...

The good news, however, is that there is a developing body of public NPS knowledge and to some degree an "open source" approach fostered by the originators of the Net Promoter concept - Frederich Reichheld, Bain & Company and Satmetrix Inc. The Satmetrix NPS certification course attended recently by this student is one example of this.

NPS & CRM Vision

An explosive mix of social media, online communities, text analytics & visualisation technologies together with Net Promoter Score (NPS) programs is presenting marketers with the opportunity to deliver on the type of Customer Relationship Management vision promised 10-15 years ago. In my humble opinion of course... but as practitioners, we are now seeing some of the more innovative companies closing in on this position.

Follow the customer, follow the text...

At the risk of repeating myself, consider the following statements:

  1. Never before have brands had so much data about their customers or capabilities to analyse this data
  2. Never before have we had customers so willing to interact with brands and each other online (social media, user generated content)
  3. Yet, we are the least connected that we will ever be...

The real challenge in listening to your customers

The great challenge for contemporary marketing is summed up very nicely in Rethinking Marketing (Harvard Business Review, Jan 2010):

'Never before have companies had such powerful technologies for interacting directly with customers, collecting and mining information about them and tailoring their offerings accordingly.

And never before have customers expected to interact so deeply with companies, and each other, to shape the products and services they use.'

Is there a connection between NPS and SERVQUAL?

It looks like we may be involved in a 'bottom-up' NPS project shortly and this has set me to refreshing my working knowledge of Net Promoter Scores, customer satisfaction measurement and Customer Experience Management (CEM).

'Bottom-up NPS'?

“Doh”: the product matters!
