Client Experience

Our clients tell us, and tell others, what working with Babb Financial Group is like.

In November 2024, Nexa Insights surveyed a select group of 199 current client households on our behalf. Of the 111 individuals who responded, 108 scored as promoters. The result was a Net Promoter Score of 97 out of 100.

  1. Survey Question: Customers are asked a single key question: "How likely are you to recommend your financial planner's services to a family member or friend?" Responses are given on a scale of 0 to 10, where: 0 = Not at all likely  ·  10 = Extremely likely
  2. Segmenting Respondents: Based on their scores, respondents are categorized into three groups:
    • Promoters (9–10): Loyal enthusiasts who are highly likely to recommend and contribute to growth.
    • Passives (7–8): Satisfied but unenthusiastic customers who are vulnerable to competitors.
    • Detractors (0–6): Unhappy customers who can damage your brand through negative word-of-mouth.
  3. NPS Calculation: NPS is calculated by subtracting the percentage of Detractors from the percentage of Promoters: NPS = %Promoters − %Detractors. The result is expressed as a number ranging from −100 (all Detractors) to +100 (all Promoters).

The GAP Analysis

The GAP Analysis evaluates where you stand today, bringing clarity, organization, and structure to your finances. By taking inventory of your current financial landscape, including your goals, assets, income, and planning needs, we gain a clear understanding of your starting point. This clarity allows us to identify any gaps in your financial strategy and so the second visit of the Guided Ascent Plan™ can be focused on addressing those gaps with precision.
