# Net Promoter Score (NPS)

**NPS** measures customer loyalty on a single question: "How likely are you to recommend [product] to a friend or colleague?" on a 0–10 scale.

## How it's scored

- **Promoters** (9–10) — loyal advocates
- **Passives** (7–8) — satisfied but unenthusiastic
- **Detractors** (0–6) — at risk of churning or spreading negative WOM

**NPS = % Promoters − % Detractors**

Range: −100 (worst) to +100 (best). B2B SaaS benchmark: 30–50 is good, 50+ is excellent.

## When to send NPS

- 30 days post-onboarding
- 6 months in
- Quarterly thereafter
- After major support interactions (transactional NPS)

## Limitations

NPS is a lagging indicator and easy to game. Pair with CSAT, CES, and qualitative feedback.

## How BlueHill helps

NPS responses live on the customer's interaction timeline; detractor scores auto-create at-risk tasks; promoter scores feed the advocacy pipeline.
