Room to improve NPS to match key competitors ► Net Promoter Score is a widely used customer loyalty metric internationally. It is obtained by asking customers a single question on a 0 to 10 rating scale, where 10 is "extremely likely" and 0 is "not at all likely“. Based on their responses, customers are categorized into one of three groups: Promoters (9– 10 rating), Passives (7– 8 rating), and Detractors (0– 6 rating). The percentage of Detractors is then subtracted from the percentage of Promoters to obtain a Net Promoter score (NPS). NPS can be as low as -100 (everybody is a detractor) or as high as +100 (everybody is a promoter). In global benchmarking terms, an NPS that is positive (i. e. , higher than zero) is seen to be good, and an NPS of +50 is excellent. ► The AA has an excellent NPS score, reflecting is strong overall standing in the motor industry. How likely would you be to recommend to a family member, friend or work colleague that they use a MTA member the next time they have their vehicle serviced, repaired, bought or sold? 5 MTA % AA % VTNZ % Toyota % Promoters (9 -10) 38 58 39 58 Passive (7 -8) 46 31 40 35 Detractors (0 -6) 16 11 21 7 NPS (Promoters minus Detractors) 22 47 19 52 Base (Used member) 89 214 156 106
