We are very excited to announce that for the second year in a row now, Armada has received a “best-in-class” Net Promoter Score (NPS). Up 10 full points from last year, our score of +68 once again ranks us with the leading companies in customer satisfaction, like Amazon (+69), Southwest (+62), and Zappos (+57).

What is NPS?

NPS is a simple and easy way to measure loyalty and the likelihood of customer referrals. At its core, NPS consists of one easy question: “How likely is it that you would recommend this company or product to a friend or colleague?” It’s based on a simple 0 to 10 scale. A zero means that the respondent would not recommend the service to someone else, while a 10 indicates that he or she is extremely likely to recommend it.

Each number then falls into one of three categories:

  • DETRACTOR – A score of 6 or below
  • PASSIVE – A score of 7 or 8
  • PROMOTER – A score of 9 or 10

The actual NPS is calculated by subtracting the percentage of detractors from the percentage of promoters; passives don’t count. So, it’s much easier to have detractors than promoters, skewing the odds in a lower score’s favor. Simply receiving a positive score is hailed as excellent by numerous companies!

Armada’s Commitment to Service Excellence

In 2015, we measured our NPS for the first time and were thrilled with the results: +58. We have always been committed to providing the highest standard of customer service possible, but until NPS, we had yet to find a way to truly measure how we were doing. NPS has confirmed that our commitment to service has a positive impact.

This year, we continue this commitment with an even higher score and will continue to strive for betterment! In addition to this best-in-class NPS score, ArmadaCare has just been named a finalist for the Stevie Awards, the world’s premier business awards, for Front-Line Customer Service. And now, with a score 56 points higher than the health insurance industry average (+12), we can’t wait to keep bringing great service to the health benefits landscape!
