4. I HELP STARTUPS

5. WE DIDN’T KNOW MUCH
ABOUT OUR USERS

6. DO THEY LIKE OUR PRODUCT ?
IF SO, WHY DON’T THEY UPGRADE ?

7. WHY DO THEY STOP USING OUR PRODUCT ?
WHY DO THEY DOWNGRADE ?

8. I AM A DATA FREAK
But looking at data brings you only to a certain
point. It tells you what, but not why.

9. To understand our users, and given our volume
IT HAS TO BE AN AUTOMATED PROCESS.

NPS: NET PROMOTER SCORE

13. COOL, BUT…
Culturally insensitive
Low predictive validity
Less accurate than a composite index of questions
We are not really « understanding » the customer

14. In truth…
I DON’T CARE ABOUT THE SCORE !

15. It’s an excuse to
ENGAGE THE CUSTOMER INTO
MORE SPECIFIC QUESTIONS

16. This is why we came out with our first
QUICK & DIRTY NPS-MVP SOLUTION

17. Let’s take a deep dive into
OUR NPS PROCESS

18. Email sent to all users 1 day after free trial ended

19. Sends visitor to mention.net, records the « Answered NPS
Survey » event with score value and free/paid
segmentation, then redirects to a google form
