Respondents give answers on a scale from 0 – I will definitely not recommend it, up to 10 – I will definitely recommend it. Respondents’ answers are classified into three groups: 0-6 – critics, 7-8 – indifferent, 9-10 – promoters. NPS is obtained by subtracting the percentage of critics from the percentage of promoters.
