Net Promoter Score (NPS) is a very popular type of customer survey to get an understanding of how many of your customers would promote your service to a friend. The exact question we asked our customers is \u201cHow likely are you to recommend UpCloud to a friend?”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our customers then had the option to answer by picking a number between 0 and 10, 0 being not likely at all and 10 being very likely. Those who answer either a 9 or 10 are promoters. Customers who answered either 7 or 8 are passives and those with a 6 or less are said to be detractors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once they have clicked on a number, there is a single follow-up question that asks \u201cTell us why you picked X\u201d where X is the number they picked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NPS score is calculated by subtracting the percentage of detractors from the percentage of promoters. For example, if you had 50% of responders selecting a 9 or 10 and 25% of responders choosing 6 or below, your NPS score would be 25. You can play around with this NPS Calculator<\/a> to get the hang of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the help of this survey, we try to understand a couple of things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First of all, we want to know how good of a job we are doing. This we can understand by the quantitative score through NPS and putting a number on how many customers would recommend us to their friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Secondly, we try to understand why they like us or don\u2019t. Both are equally valuable. We realise many of our new customers come to UpCloud through word-of-mouth and understanding the reasons why we are liked (or not) is extremely valuable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, at the beginning of August we sent out our second NPS survey to our clients and about a third of them responded. As the scores came in during the next couple of days, we waited eagerly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eventually, the score levelled out at 61 for August<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Naturally, we are very happy with the result. This gives us confidence in our efforts while developing UpCloud further.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We received a lot of gratitude for our prices, customer support<\/a>, performance and ease of use. All aspects we have furiously focus on as we develop the service further.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We anticipate to carry out these surveys a couple of times a year to continue keeping our fingers on the pulse. Naturally, we also rely on other methods as well. The most important is continued discussions with our customers and potential customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As always, don\u2019t hesitate to get in touch with us if you\u2019d like to give us feedback regarding UpCloud or if you have a question.
