Frequently Asked Questions
What is a good Net Promoter Score for an Australian business?
NPS ranges from minus 100 to plus 100. A score above 0 is generally positive, above 20 is good, above 50 is excellent, and above 70 is world-class. However, scores vary significantly by industry. The most meaningful comparison is your own NPS over time. Consistent improvement matters more than the absolute number. Focus on converting detractors to passives and passives to promoters.
How do we encourage more learners to provide feedback?
Make it easy by keeping surveys short, timing requests close to the service experience, and offering multiple feedback channels. Explain briefly why their feedback matters and how it will be used. Personalise the request where possible. Consider offering a small incentive for survey completion. Most importantly, demonstrate that you act on feedback by communicating changes you have made based on learner input.
What is the best way to measure learner satisfaction for a small business?
A simple post-service survey with a satisfaction rating and an open-ended comment field is effective for most small businesses. The Net Promoter Score question, asking how likely they are to recommend you on a scale of 0 to 10, is widely used and benchmarkable. Complement surveys with monitoring of online reviews and direct verbal feedback. The key is to measure consistently and act on the results.
