Net Promoter Score for Growth Marketers
DIRECT ANSWER
Net Promoter Score (NPS) is a customer loyalty metric derived from a single survey question: 'How likely are you to recommend us to a friend or colleague?' on a 0–10 scale. Respondents are classified as Promoters (9–10), Passives (7–8), or Detractors (0–6). NPS equals the percentage of Promoters minus the percentage of Detractors. For Growth Marketers, this is especially relevant because running high-frequency experiments across channels without a team to execute each one.
What net promoter score means for Growth Marketers
Growth marketers live in experiment cycles — hypothesis, test, measure, iterate. The constraint is always execution velocity: not enough hours to run the tests fast enough to find the winners. Growth stalls when the test queue backs up.
For a growth marketer, net promoter score is a lever you need but rarely have time to execute consistently. Scores range from −100 to +100. A positive NPS indicates more Promoters than Detractors. The absolute score matters less than the trend over time and the gap versus close competitors. A score of +30 in a category where competitors average +10 signals a meaningful loyalty advantage; the same score in a category averaging +50 signals a problem.

How frequently should we survey for NPS?
Relationship NPS surveys are typically sent quarterly or semi-annually to avoid survey fatigue. For transactional NPS, trigger surveys within 48 hours of the specific event. Sampling is acceptable at scale — surveying 100% of customers every quarter in a large base produces noise, not signal.
