• Net promoter score
  • Participants rate the question, “Would you recommend this product to a friend or colleague?” on a scale of 0 to 10.
  • Promoters — participants who give a rating of 9 or 10, which means they would recommend your product to others.
  • Passive — participants who give a rating of 7 or 8, which means they are satisfied with your product, but they may not recommend it to their friends or colleagues.
  • Detractors — participants who give a rating of 0 to 6, which means they would warn people away from your product or service.
