Transactional & Relational NPS Programs
Customer loyalty is a key indicator of long-term business performance and brand health. Prolific Research provides Net Promoter Score (NPS) and customer loyalty research, helping consultancies, retail brands, and service firms track satisfaction, evaluate transaction touchpoints, and predict customer churn.
We support both relational NPS studies (which measure overall brand loyalty at regular intervals) and transactional NPS studies (which gather feedback immediately after a customer interaction, such as a purchase, service intake, or support call). This dual approach helps you monitor both high-level brand health and operational performance.
Our survey templates are optimized for rapid, high-response data collection, featuring short questionnaires, visual 0-10 scale buttons, and responsive viewports. This mobile-friendly design supports response rates across retail, digital, and B2B customer cohorts.
Customer Journey Maps & Loyalty Indexing
Our customer loyalty methodologies focus on tracking customer health and advocacy indicators:
| Loyalty Measure | Technical Action | Strategic Outcome |
|---|---|---|
| NPS Calculation | Prompting the standard 11-point likelihood-to-recommend question. | Groups respondents into Promoters, Passives, Detractors to calculate brand NPS. |
| Customer Effort (CES) | Evaluating the ease of completing transactions (e.g. buying, returns). | Identifies operational friction points that lead to customer churn. |
| CSAT Score | Measuring satisfaction with specific products, services, or support agents. | Evaluates individual department performance and service delivery. |
We clean loyalty survey datasets to filter out duplicate entries or low-effort submissions, delivering structured reports and significance audits across customer segments.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between relational and transactional NPS?
Relational NPS measures a customer's overall perception of your brand on a regular schedule (e.g. quarterly), while Transactional NPS gathers feedback immediately after a specific interaction (e.g. support call) to measure process performance.
How do you calculate Net Promoter Scores?
NPS is calculated by subtracting the percentage of Detractors (score 0-6) from the percentage of Promoters (score 9-10). Passives (score 7-8) are included in the total respondent count but do not affect the final score.
Can you integrate NPS surveys into customer email workflows?
Yes. We program survey email integrations, allowing you to trigger survey invitations automatically after transaction milestones and pull metadata (such as order ID or customer segment) into the dataset.
How do you analyze open-ended text answers inside NPS surveys?
We use natural language processing (NLP) to categorize open-ended comments by sentiment and topic, helping you understand the reasons behind Promoters' and Detractors' scores.
What turnaround times do you offer for transactional NPS surveys?
We configure real-time transactional survey links that stay active continuously. Data is synced immediately to our client dashboards, providing real-time visibility into customer satisfaction.
