Software for Calculating NPS (Net Promoter Score) [the Top 5]

The CPG space is competitive, and it can be tough to find ways to stand out from the ever-growing crowd. 

You may be tempted to try and find quick tricks, tips, and hacks to get your brand ahead of the competition, but you don’t need to. You just need to keep your customers happy. 

The question is: how do you know how happy your customers are? 

The answer is the Net Promoter Score (NPS), and luckily, there are a number of software solutions on the market to help you ascertain yours. But first, what is an NPS?

What is a Net Promoter Score?

A Net Promoter Score (NPS) is an incredibly simple concept that measures how happy your customers are with your product or service. It is a common benchmark question for products, services, brands, and organizations to measure pulse, affinity, and loyalty.

It starts with a simple question, “how likely are you to recommend this to a friend”. Customers respond using a 0 - 10 scale, where 0 is unlikely and 10 represents a high likelihood of a recommendation. The results of the survey give us three groups:

  • 0 - 6 - Detractors, low-scoring customers who found issues with your product and are unlikely to recommend it. 
  • 7 - 8 - Passive, these customers had a positive experience but won’t go out of their way to recommend it to friends.

  • 9 - 10 - Promoters, these customers love the product, love the company, and love telling everyone about it. 

These groups are important, as they will help us to calculate our NPS. The score ranges from -100 to +100 and is calculated by submitting the percentage of detractors from the percentage of promoters. Passive customers are not included in the calculation.

For example, if just 10% of responses are from promoters, but 70% are detractors, you would take that 70% away from the 10% to give an NPS of -60.

Why is NPS important for CPGs?

Calculating your NPS is crucial for CPGs, as it can help reveal crucial pain points for your customers, allows you to follow up on negative reviews, and helps you to see what your customers value most, which will help guide future strategies. 

Most importantly, a positive NPS shows that your customers truly love the work your business does. Let’s face it, there’s nothing better than having a loyal customer base that loves and promotes your product as much as you do.
