What to Do Next

  • Your promoters are your referral engine. Ask them directly: "Do you know anyone else who could use this kind of help?"
  • Convert passives by adding one unexpected deliverable — a summary doc, a follow-up tip, a relevant resource.

How to Run an NPS Survey

“How likely are you to recommend [my name] to a colleague? (0 = Not likely, 10 = Extremely likely)”

1

After every project ends, send one question: "How likely are you to recommend me to a colleague? (0–10)"

2

9–10 = Promoter. 7–8 = Passive. 0–6 = Detractor. That's the whole system.

3

Follow up with a single open-ended question: "What's the primary reason for your score?"

4

Aim for 5+ responses before drawing conclusions. Track quarterly.
