FAQs |
Do you have a customer satisfaction or refund policy?Client satisfaction is best measured by Net Promoter Scores (NPS). We regularly conduct anonymous surveys of our clients, asking "How likely is it that you would recommend your advisor to a friend or colleague?" This has resulted in our NPS of +81. NPS scores range from -100 to +100. Our industry average NPS is 30-40. Thus, we rank in the top percentiles of client satisfaction. Read more https://www.truewealthdesign.com/our-nps-score/ |
