His most recent book, The Ultimate Question, focuses on Net Promoter Score® (NPS), a concept he developed based on his research in measuring customer satisfaction, customer retention and its link to revenue growth and profitability. This metric serves as an indicator of the loyalty and advocacy customers show for a company.
