One common question that I'm asked is ... "how does new revenue growth result from achieving high NPS scores?" The fact is that Net Promoter leaders on average grew at more than twice the rate of their competitors.
Let's understand why this is true.
It starts with a complete execution of the NPS process. The process begins with analyzing the NPS data. The data will identify strengths and challenges of each of your client relationships. Next, an often overlooked, is to communicate with your employees so everyone understands their role and what it means to increase client retention and advancing relationships. Now, here are the steps you, as a business leader, need to do to fully take advantage of measuring your client relationships and use NPS to Grow Your Business.

- Make NPS an integral part of your culture. NPS is not a sales or customer service activity, it measures your customers overall experience with your company.
- Commit to analyzing the data. For example: Why do you have a Promoter and a Defector in the same account? Be careful not to "excuse" your way out of the data points.
- Formalize your Client Retention goals and objectives. Have you set and communicated your goals for 2016? Are you planning to grow by x%?
- To fully benefit from NPS it needs to be combined with a Key Account Management program that includes a Client Risk Analysis tool for your key accounts. Use these tools to achieve your goals and objectives.
- Take full advantage of your 9's and 10's and grow your business with referrals. This is the fastest path to increased revenue.
When you survey your customers again this year, you go back to the beginning of the NPS process with current data and new opportunities for growth.
