The Net Promoter Score (NPS) is widely accepted as the most robust means of measuring how satisfied customers are with the experience of a company or product.

The Net Promoter Score categorizes respondents into promoters, passives and detractors. It is determined whether a respondent is a promotor, passive or detractor by the respondent's answer on the 0-10 scale question "How likely are you to recommend the club to friends, family or colleagues?".

  • A promoter has answered 9 or 10

  • A passive has answered 7 or 8

  • A detractor has answered between 0 and 6

The NPS is calculated by subtracting the share of detractors from the share of promoters.

Thus, the NPS can vary from -100 (all respondents being detractors) to 100 (all respondents being promoters).

As an example, if you have 60 % promoters and 20 % detractors, your NPS is 40 %.
