The true engine of business growth is customer loyalty, and Fred Reichheld has spent decades proving it. While working at Bain & Company, he noticed that businesses with obsessive customer focus were crushing their competitors, yet no one was measuring the loyalty behind those results. So he created the Net Promoter Score (NPS), giving entrepreneurs a way to measure customer loyalty and retention. In this episode, Fred shares how companies like Costco, Apple, and Chick-fil-A create lasting loyalty and why enriching your customers’ lives is one of the most powerful drivers of business growth and endless referrals.
