What is NPS

Net Promoter Score (NPS) is a management tool that can be used to gauge the satisfaction of a firm's customer relationships. NPS has been widely adopted as a key metric often linked to the revenue potential of a company’s product or service. The metric is based on customer responses to the question: "On a scale of 0 to 10, how likely are you to recommend the product to a friend?"

Those who respond with a score of 9 to 10 are known as Promoters, and are widely associated with behaviors that create value, including actively encouraging others to use the product or service. Those who respond with a score of 7 or 8 are categorized as Passives, and they are believed to be less likely to exhibit the value-creation traits of Promoters having a largely neutral effect on other consumers. Detractors are those who fall in the score range of 0 to 6 and represent dissatisfied customers of the product sometimes actively recommending against using the product.

What can this brand most improve?
Your Brand can be improved 100%. From a customer point of view no-one seems to care. I am owed money (mine) but can get no-one to help me. For an unwell, 81 year old this is so distressing. I am fed up and if ever I get the money back I will then be banking elsewhere.
What can this brand most improve?
EVERTHING!!!!! Your brand was top notch until you moved your head honcho out of there about 4-5 years ago...you have progressively gone downhill since. Shame on you! You may be thinking that you are cleaning house and keeping only the "A" clients your; "B&C "clients are migrating to the competitio
What do you value most about this brand?
The bank has an International focus
What can this brand most improve?
Branch managers and customer service
What can this brand most improve?
Meaningful customer loyalty programs & significant improvement to call centre response. I'm fed up with spending hours on the phone or on line when I have an issue. I retired from Scotiabank after a 40 year career & the customer service has consistently become worse. Loyalty begets loyalty!
