NPS for B2B –
the complete guide

How to design a Net Promoter Score measurement that actually leads to action – not just a number on a dashboard. Based on 20+ years of lessons from hundreds of B2B projects.

Most NPS measurements are useless –
here's how to do it differently

NPS is the world's most widely used measure of customer loyalty. It's also the most misunderstood. This guide shows what NPS actually measures, why B2B NPS must be done differently from B2C, and how to build a process that drives real change.

  • What NPS actually measures (and what it doesn't)
  • Three things that distinguish B2B NPS from B2C
  • 4 steps to design your B2B NPS from scratch
  • 7 common pitfalls – and how to avoid them
  • The action loop model: from measurement to real change
  • Concrete next steps for your company

The guide is written by Johan Asklund, CEO of Alba Business Group, based on experience from hundreds of B2B projects over 20+ years.

How NPS works

"How likely are you to recommend us to a colleague?"

Scale 0–10. Three segments based on the answer. The formula: NPS = % Promoters − % Detractors

0123456
Detractors 0–6 · Discourage others · Low loyalty
78
Passives 7–8 · Neutral · Easy to lose
910
Promoters 9–10 · Active advocates
NPS = % Promoters % Detractors

Note: Passives are not counted in the formula, even though they often make up a large share of the customer base. This is one reason NPS must be interpreted in context — and why the guide covers both the strengths and the pitfalls.
