The One Number ...

How willing are our clients to recommend Datamax? With a cumulative Net Promoter Score® of 92.4, we have our answer. This single, simple number is one we need to know, to show, and to grow.

- October 2020 -

Dear Datamax Family,

I’ve always been big on writing thank you notes.

As a way to differentiate myself from other sales people, I would write thank you notes after each prospect appointment. When someone bought something from me — and even if they didn’t — I wrote them thanking them for the opportunity. When I had created what we now consider a Raving Fan, I wrote a note asking them if they knew anyone that we might be able to help.

Simon says ...

For me, NPS® tells us a lot about what our customers think of us. When a customer is willing to recommend you, they’re putting their reputation on the line. And they’ll only take that risk if they’re intensely loyal ... and intensely enthusiastic.- Barry Simon
