XIO Group Announces That Portfolio Company, J.D. Power, Has Expanded Its Implementation As The Official Authorized Provider Of The Bain Certified Net Promoter Score (NPS®)
LONDON and COSTA MESA, Calif., July 17, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- XIO Group, a London headquartered global alternative investments and private equity firm, announced that its portfolio company, J.D. Power, has expanded the implementation of its previously announced agreement with Bain & Company as the official authority for benchmarking the Net Promoter Score® in a series of industry studies in North America.
Net Promoter Score® measures the willingness of customers to recommend a company's products or services to others and thereby gauging a customer's overall satisfaction and loyalty to the brand. The continued collaboration combines J.D. Power's extensive knowledge of measuring customer feedback with Bain's deployment of the Net Promoter System to help companies achieve sector leadership in customer loyalty.
"For many companies, Net Promoter Score® is a popular and effective internal measurement of customer loyalty but companies wanting to compare their performance against competitors had no reliable, objective benchmark data," said Joseph Pacini, Chief Executive Officer and Partner of XIO Group. "J.D. Power's expanded offering provides an independent, objective, Bain-certified Net Promoter Score industry benchmark that companies can use with confidence to support competitive benchmarking, investor communications and even executive incentives."
This independent Net Promoter Score® competitive benchmark follows a methodology certified by Bain & Company, a key requirement for accurate scores. The Bain Certified Net Promoter Score® by J.D. Power will deliver world-class independent measures of Net Promoter Score® benchmarks and advisory services via J.D. Power industry benchmark studies in financial services, insurance, utilities and telecommunications. Both firms are also evaluating the possibility of extending their collaborative efforts to include Net Promoter Score® in other J.D. Power syndicated benchmarking studies.
"Developing a reliable and trusted Net Promoter Score® benchmarking authority will raise the standard for the measurement and reporting of Net Promoter Score® and help our clients focus on taking the actions required to earn deeper loyalty from their customers," said Rob Markey, partner at Bain & Company and co-author of The Ultimate Question 2.0. "Working with J.D. Power—a company with the expertise to measure and benchmark customer feedback—will give our clients benchmarks they can rely on when making important decisions."
