  • Abstract
    The NPS has gained popularity and is now used by many companies as an indicator of customer loyalty. We claim that the NPS is an inaccurate of customer loyalty and that the conclusions derived from the NPS are heavily influenced by the underlying distribution of the data. In order to give empirical evidence to our claim we have set up a simulation study based on an experimental design. The results of this simulation study shows that the NPS is by far inferior to standard measures of loyalty.
