The CMO’s Secret Weapon: How NPS Surveys Can Unlock 3X Revenue Growth (Without a Single Line of Code)

As a CMO, you’re measured on growth—but traditional metrics like CAC and CTR only tell part of the story. The real goldmine? Your customers’ voices. Net Promoter Score (NPS) surveys aren’t just a 'nice-to-have'—they’re a $1.6T missed opportunity for brands that fail to act on feedback (Qualtrics).

The Silent Growth Leak 92% of CMOs Miss

  • A SaaS brand noticed 10-point NPS drop in Q3 → 18% churn spike in Q4
  • Fintech ignored 'slow UI' complaints → lost 40% SMB clients
Treat NPS as a leading indicator, not a vanity metric.
