Statisticians are familiar with the concept of “self-selection” but it’s rarely discussed, understood or accounted for when determining your “return on loyalty”.

Simply because your most loyal customers have joined your programme, does not mean your programme improved or caused them to become more loyalty.

Listen for a masterclass on the concept of “return on loyalty”, NPS and how to separate correlation from causation using data insights.
