Join the club of NPS to Earned Growth Rate switchers and grow your business through ambassadors and referrals.
NPS can be easily manipulated (e.g., “I will lose my job if I don’t get a 10 from you”).
NPS is used by organizations as an internal stick for bonuses/maluses or promotions.
NPS is hard to change – finding correlations or even causalities is challenging.
In our advisory experience, we saw many companies with high NPS but lower loyalty than competitors with lower NPS.
Earned Growth Rate (EGR) is a verifiable metric that measures the business growth that results from happy customers and their referrals.
The inventor is Fred Reichheld, the creator of the Net Promoter® System (NPS). He came up with EGR after realizing that companies were misusing NPS as a target (for bonuses and promotions) instead of a tool to collect customer feedback.
Fred says: “The motivation to write Winning on Purpose: The Unbeatable Strategy of Loving Customers came from a wish to correct the way companies use NPS.”

“Superfans are the key to EGR. They’re the customers who are so passionate about your brand that they’ll keep coming back for more, and they’ll also refer their friends and family to you. Make sure you’re doing everything you can to earn the loyalty of your superfans.”
