Fewmanagement ideas have spread so far and wide as the Net Promoter System (NPS).Since its conception almost two decades ago by customer loyalty guru FredReichheld, thousands of companies around the world have adoptedit-from industrial titans such as Mercedes-Benz and Cummins to techgiants like Apple and Amazon to digital innovators such as Warby Parker andPeloton.
Now, Reichheld has raised the bar yet again. InWinning on Purpose, he demonstrates that the primary purposeof a business should be to enrich the lives of its customers. Why?

As the compellingexamples in this book illustrate, companies with superior NPS consistentlydeliver higher returns to shareholders across a wide array ofindustries.
