What to use instead of the Net Promoter Score

15/1/2018

Net Promoter Score, user research, customer research
Have to give a shout out to Jared Spool ​over at UIE for his recent blog post about the Net Promoter Score. 

Even though the NPS metric has been debunked there are many businesses still using it.

Jared's post is nicely detailed for anyone looking to educate themselves about the issues associated with using NPS. 

​What I particularly liked about Jared's take was the following: 
  • His own experience comparing NPS with qualitative research, using the same participants and finding that the results differ 
  • How NPS can be 'gamed', hence rendering it unreliable and invalid as a metric
  • Alternatives to NPS, including always asking why 

Jared points out the user experience online can't be reduced to a single number. I agree. I also know the same holds true for offline customer experiences as well. Customers are influenced by any number of variables during their journey including those related to price, product features, customer service, brand. Asking them to 'sum up' their experience the way NPS expects them to, renders their response useless. The devil is always in the details.

There are lots of problems that we need to work on here. I mean, I believe that it is important that we try our hardest all of the time. I just feel like life a lot better when we can make it happen. I hope that we can keep on working and making ourselves better. It is always nice if we can change the way that we view life, that is my own opinion though, so take it or leave it.
