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.

This framework makes it easier for organizations to hit their financial and strategic goals with fewer stops and starts because it eliminates the need for every product to have its own strategy that ultimately stretches the organization too thin to execute any of them well.
