Think of Net Promoter Score (NPS) software as a tool to measure your customers’ feelings about your product, and categorize them based on their level of loyalty (promoters, neutrals, and detractors). The great advantage of these tools is that they streamline the creation, distribution, and analysis of NPS surveys. So they make it easier to send these surveys and get more responses.

“Our vision is to be the best!” Cue awkward silence in the conference room. “Best at… what exactly?” “Everything!” If you’ve ever sat through a company strategy meeting and left with your head spinning, you’re experiencing a common problem.

Without input from a product manager, a designer, and an engineer, it’s difficult for us to account for the cross-functional perspectives we need to build successful products. However, most companies tend to have more engineers than product managers or designers. This creates some confusion when it comes to forming product trios.
