About this template

A number without a reason is a dashboard ornament. This NPS survey asks the standard 0–10 recommend question, then the one that matters: why? Detractors get a service-recovery route, promoters get moved toward referral and bigger giving — the score becomes a work queue, not a screenshot.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can one 0–10 question actually tell you something?
On its own, rarely — the number locates the problem, the free-text reason explains it. This form makes both mandatory and pairs each score with a follow-up route.
How is NPS different from the satisfaction survey?
Satisfaction grades the service experience; NPS measures loyalty — whether people would put their own name next to yours. Ask both and you know if a happy audience is also a devoted one.
Should we publish the score?
Internally first; public NPS invites gaming. The reasons, anonymized, are worth sharing with your board.
Is it free to use?
Yes. Copy it into your FormLM workspace and schedule it as a quarterly wave.
What do I do with detractors?
Every detractor who consents enters your follow-up queue — a complaint with contact consent is retention work, not noise.
How big does the sample need to be?
Enough per segment to read the reasons qualitatively; a wave of 60–80 across sections gives direction, not decimals.
