What's NPS?
NPS (Net Promoter Score) originally measures how likely customers are to recommend you. It sorts responses into three groups: Promoters (9–10), Passives (7–8), and Detractors (0–6).
Imagine a local restaurant on Google Maps. Out of 100 reviews, 70 are 5-star, 20 are 4-star, and 10 are 1–3 star. Map them to NPS groups, and the score becomes: Promoters 70% − Detractors 10% = 60.
Promoters
70%
5-star reviews
Passives
20%
4-star reviews
Detractors
10%
1–3 star reviews
NPS = Promoters − Detractors
70% − 10% = 60
What's brand NMS(Net Moat Score)?
NPS stated above is good, but far from enough to check business operation health.
Because it ignored some basic consumer psychology and human nature: Detractors have much more impact than Promoter, these 2 type customers are not equal powerful. Consumer expect your product or service delivers good quality by default, so if you are good, most of them won't appreciate much to speak it out, but if you are not good, they are definitely don't mind to make trouble for you with bad comments. Also, bad news travels faster, while good news always late. What's even worse, the originally neutral or passive customers don't have much strong mind, easy to swing. So they can be potentially converted into Detractors just over 1 night when they are impacted by original detractors, same like host of virus in pandemic. The NPS original formula didn't consider above all factors, so it created little bit fantasy for business operators and give them over optimistic healthy signal. Back to above same case, the traditional NPS for this local restaurant is 70. We use another formula to calculate the real NPS, which can see bottom line of business safety.
Promoters
70%
5-star reviews
Passives
20%
4-star reviews
Detractors
10%
1–3 star reviews
NMS = Promoters / (Detractors+Passives)
70%/ (10% + 20%) = 2.33
From above formula we can see, the NMS is just 2.33, this means the safety buffer for this restaurants when a media storm arrive, it only has a power ratio of 2.33 vs 1 protection.
Promoters
90%
5-star reviews
Passives
8%
4-star reviews
Detractors
2%
1–3 star reviews
NMS = Promoters / (Detractors+Passives)
90%/ (2% + 8%) = 9
From above formula we can see, the original formula you will get 90%-8%=82, which looks not bad, but using new concept of NMS, the value is 9, more compact. This means the safety buffer for this restaurants when a media storm arrive, it already has a power ratio of 9 vs 1 protection.
NPS/NMS impact will be maximized by AI
In the age of AI, NPS(Net Promoter Score) and NMS(Net Moat Score) become game changer.Because AI portraits a business from its NPS and NMS value, promoter from customers are an asset, while the critic from customers are liability. Whenever customers asked about options available for a deal, AI will always propose those brands of higher NPS and NMS, because it's signal of higher credit, worthful to trust.
