Making NPS, CSAT, and CES Actionable

Turn scores and comments into a clear narrative and action plan for your next QBR or review.

The Problem with Scores

"Our NPS went up by 5 points." "Great! Why?" "I don't know."

This conversation happens in boardrooms every day. Scores track what happened, not why.

The Playbook

Step 1: Separate the Promoters from Detractors

In FeedPulse AI, filter your view to analyze only Detractors (score 0-6).

Step 2: Find the Narrative

What is the #1 Driver for Detractors?

  • Example: "Pricing" is mentioned by 40% of detractors.
  • Drill Down: Is it "too expensive" or "confusing tiers"? The AI Semantic Search will tell you.

Step 3: Compare with Promoters

Now filter for Promoters (9-10).

  • Example: "Customer Support" is mentioned by 60%.
  • Insight: You have a product problem (pricing) but a service advantage (support).

Step 4: Build the Slide

  • Headline: "We act like a premium service but price like a chaotic startup."
  • Data: "Pricing is the primary drag on NPS (-14 impact), while Support is the primary lift (+12 impact)."
  • Action: Simplify pricing tiers to reduce confusion (the root cause of the complaint).
