The point of sale is an incredibly important time for retailers to engage their customers. However, most are stuck using outdated feedback methods (think receipt questionnaires and kiosk surveys) designed to collect mass feedback rather than reveal key customer experience issues.

Your boss and your boss’s boss just came from a seminar on Net Promoter Score (NPS) and want you to implement an NPS program this week. You want to show them that not only are you on top of their request, but you can give them the results they are looking for — customer retention and growth. It’s tempting to simply download your customer list and send out a single NPS survey, but a rock-solid NPS program is much more than a single survey.
