This article probably isn’t the first place you’ve seen the terms “Great Resignation”, “Great Reshuffle” or “Big Quit” on the internet, and from the looks of things, the battle to retail talent won’t settle anytime soon.

As an ecommerce business, Net Promoter Score® might be the most powerful KPI in your CX toolkit. You can get by without paying attention to NPS, but you will thrive when using it as a growth north star. Net Promoter Score is a metric that measures the likelihood of a customer recommending your brand to their personal and professional social circle. The higher your NPS, the higher the chance that your customers will turn into active Promoters and enthusiastic advocates for your products.

Could Majorian have used a 360-degree view of his Roman subjects (read: customers)?
