In the training world, delegates fill in the happy sheets at training sessions. The 9’s and 10’s are great but I bet you 10 pence that if you ask any trainer what they look for when they get the feedback form returned is the odd low number and more importantly what comments have been left – is there something that can be done to improve the session they will hopefully pick up from that and do something about it?

In a lot of corporate industries, they look at a thing called Net Promoter Score. Customers may be asked a number of questions in feedback surveys but one major question that NPS focuses on is asking the customer “Would you recommend us to your colleagues?”
The score is calculated contrasting the proportion of Promoters (i.e. those scoring 9 or 10) to the Detractors (those scoring 1-6). This should hopefully provide a high positive score but it is certainly something worth looking into to ensure that there is an on-going improvement of the scores.
