NPS may be hurting your employees
If you’re looking for a reason not to use NPS as your top-line CX metric, I’ve got one for you: Depending on your business and/or your business model, it’s just plain dumb. […]
Just stop with the KPIs already
Okay, so this is going to be controversial. Scandalous, even. But I’m going to come right out and say it: Please stop with the KPIs. Just quit it already.

Processing your survey results
Recently I fielded a question about NPS survey data: How do you process it? How do you use it? I popped off a quick response, but I’d like to go a little deeper on the topic here. First of all, it’s not a specific NPS question. It doesn’t matter what sort of survey you send [...]
