Agenda • NPS 101 • Leadership Engagement • Building the Infrastructure • Listen & Act • Driving a Customer Centric Culture
What is NPS? • NPS is a Culture Change effort to drive Customer Excellence • NPS is not another VOC initiative • NPS is not market research
The roots of NPS • Fred Reichheld: • Consulting Magazine named him one of the "25 Most Influential Consultants" in 2003 • His work has appeared in The Harvard Business Review, Wall Street Journal, New York Times, Financial Times, Fortune, Business Week and The Economist The Ultimate Question, Fred Reichheld, Harvard Business School Press, 2006
“On a scale of 0 to 10, how likely is it that you would recommend our company to a friend or colleague?” Extremely likely Not at all likely 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0
8 7 How is NPS determined? “On a scale of 0 -10, how willing would you be to recommend [GE Capital Solutions] to a friend or colleague?” 10 9 - 10 Promoters 9 7 - 8 Passively Satisfied % Net promoters % Promoters % Detractors 6 5 4 0 – 6 Detractors 3 2 1 0
Value of Customer Loyalty… NPS is the best predictor of customer likelihood to repurchase or refer… Repurchase Rate % • 12 Industries • 4,000 customers Cost of Sales • 10 years Loyalty • A satisfied customer tells 3 others to purchase • A dissatisfied customer tells 9 others NOT to purchase • It takes 12x to win back a dissatisfied customer

NPS is not: • A Stand-alone VOC Metric: It is a measure of a customer’s willingness to recommend you and repurchase your products and services. • A Complete Diagnosis of Root Causes: NPS will not tell you why the customer gave you such a rating. • A Guarantee That Your Business Will Grow: To grow, a business has to act upon the ratings it receives. • A Customer SatisfactionMeasure: A customer could be satisfied, but not feel as if they would go the extra yard in actually recommending GE to a friend or colleague.
NPS is correlated with growth across a wide range of industries and markets. Our P&Ls that had higher NPS scores, also experienced the higher growth. Why NPS?… It’s a growth tool NPS and Growth True for Capital Solutions ’99-’02 Growth R2: 0.68 NPS Score Source: Fred Reichheld, Bain & Company
Does NPS correlate to organic growth? For TFS…..Absolutely! On Total Revenue, promoters do generate higher revenue Vs non promoters… +2% Non-promoters +6% Promoters -4%
Do It Right Two Common Errors Two “Best In Class” Solutions • Confusion between NPS research and NPS operating system • Bolting NPS onto existing (failed) feedback processes • Its not research….simplify your survey & feedback process • Ask the NPS question, talk to the customer, find the learning
The Overarching Objective GROWTH through understanding and delivering CUSTOMER VALUE • It’s not really about the score… • It’s not even about the change in the score… • It’s about a process to understand the expectations of your best customers and to consistently meet those expectations • Develop a solid NPS process to match your business • Figure out why customers are detractors or promoters • Use that understanding to drive growth Best metric of likelihood to repurchase
