loyal vs. satisﬁed

Banking is an errand. I get in, I get out, no one gets hurt... ...I am satisﬁed.

We asked the wrong question:

We asked the wrong question: On a scale from 1 - 7: How satisfied are you with the credit union? Comments:

Loyal members do three things:

Loyal members do three things: 1. Buy more from you. (repeat business) 2. Market for you! (tell their friends/co-workers) 3. Tell you how to improve your business (“I’ve been a member since....”)

Instead of “going after” your members let’s try listening to them.

Instead of “going after” your members let’s try listening to them. By asking the ultimate question....

Net Promoter asks the “ultimate” question:

Net Promoter asks the “ultimate” question: WHY did you answer the way you did? "On a scale from 0 - 10... How likely is it that you would recommend the Credit Union to a friend, family member or colleague?"

“You can’t grow a business unless you treat people so well that they come back and bring their friends.” - Fred Reichheld, The Ultimate Question

Is there a correlation between NPS and growth in a company? Yes! In a 2003 study based on more than 150,000 customers, we found a very strong correlation between Net Promoter Scores and a company’s growth relative to its competitors. From the airline industry, to retail banks, to delivery services, to personal computers, firms with the best NPS demonstrated superior growth. Companies that have achieved sustainable growth over a ten year period have double the NPS of others.

Hope is not a strategy. That's also the penalty of expectations. Amazon became the category leader in online retailing because it set new expectations in online shopping, and it almost always meets or exceeds them; its Net Promoter Score ranking is 36 points above the median in its category. Category leaders are cultural leaders in business, sports, non-profits and government. Strategies, behaviors and some lives are modeled on category leaders. It's a perk and a responsibility. It's heady and scary. The cost of reticence is goodwill.

“I believe most CEOs do care--at least strategically-- about having happy users, but wouldn't waste a single synapse actually thinking about specific ways to make it happen.” - Kathy Siera, Creating Passionate Users Blog.

NPS helps you avoid bad proﬁts.

Bank fees growing more numerous and expensive AMY REININK Sun staff writer Published: Sunday, June 10, 2007 at 11:40 a.m. Last Modified: Sunday, June 10, 2007 at 12:00 a.m. The fees kept adding up. First, Sun State Credit Union charged Gainesville resident Karen Soesbe $2 for coming in more than four times a month. Next came the charge for not having her transaction slip ready at the drive-through window. When Soesbe was charged for not using the credit union's telephone banking system, she decided to fight back, sending an angry letter to the credit union's president and filing a formal complaint with the National Credit Union Association. "I was outraged," Soesbe said. "It's not a lot of money. I know that. But to be charged $2 just for not having your bank slip at the drive-through teller just seems wrong." In Soesbe's case, Sun State abandoned the three fees voluntarily. Sun State President and CEO Jim Woodward said the decision was based on exit interviews with members leaving the credit union, and that the move was already in the works when Soesbe complained.

Truth in Advertising:

Do what you say you’re going to do.

Do what you say you’re going to do. NPS bridges the gap between what you say you are going to do and what you are known for doing.
