Customer loyalty and trust is paramount when it comes to delivering high-quality financial services experiences. After all, your Net Promoter Score (NPS) is a powerful metric not just for measuring a customer’s satisfaction, but also the overall financial experience you’re delivering.
For financial institutions, a high NPS is a competitive differentiator – it means your customers trust you. And trust unlocks a lot of tangible benefits, from improved customer retention and acquisition to boosted revenue and ROI.
But what is NPS?
Your NPS is determined by how your customers answer: ‘On a scale of 0-10, how likely are you to recommend X?’.
NPS is then calculated by subtracting the percentage of detractors from the percentage of promoters.
A customer’s satisfaction with the financial experience you’re delivering can be categorized into three groups:
This means the higher your NPS, the happier your customers are and the more likely they are to continue banking with — and buying from — you.
Attaining and maintaining competitive differentiation is difficult in today’s saturated market. Regulations are complex, customer expectations are continuously evolving and innovation is accelerating.
Fortunately, your NPS unlocks an actionable roadmap to navigate these complexities. With actionable insights into your financial institution’s strengths and weaknesses, you can better identify areas for improvement and in turn maximize customer acquisition, retention and advocacy.
When it comes to measuring NPS, it’s crucial you get in the habit of collecting scores regularly. Whether it’s sending out a quarterly survey or asking for feedback across a variety of financial touchpoints, gathering real-time feedback is crucial to improving the quality of your services and keeping them in line with ever-growing customer demands.
But you can’t simply rely on the overall score, that’s just the first step. Instead, you have to dive into the data and analyze exactly why you’re getting the results you are. Segment your data by demographics, product usage and even channels to identify specific areas for improvement.
Now that you’ve analyzed the results of your NPS, it’s time to take action using the insights you’ve surfaced.
So, what are some strategies financial services providers can use to maximize NPS?
Making your customers feel valued is an important aspect of delivering high-quality financial experiences and this means ensuring a customer experience that delights.
