      About the Net Promoter System

      About the Net Promoter System

      The Net Promoter System creates a culture focused on earning the passionate loyalty of customers. It inspires the energy, enthusiasm, and creativity of employees in order to accelerate profitable, sustainable, and organic growth.

      About the Net Promoter System
      • About the System
      • More on Net Promoter

      In 2003, Fred Reichheld, a partner at Bain & Company, created a new way of measuring how well an organization treats the people whose lives it affects—how well it generates relationships worthy of loyalty.

      He called that metric the Net Promoter ScoreSM, or NPS®. 

      He shared the methodology so anyone could apply it.

      Over time, each organization developed and expanded it. They improved the methodology. They extended its use beyond customers, applying it to help build employee engagement and commitment. They discovered new methods to broaden its impact, not just to measure customer loyalty but to transform their organizations.
