Darci Darnell is the head of Bain’s global sales & marketing practice and an active leader in Financial Services and Strategy practices with nearly two decades of management consulting experience. She also has particular expertise in customer retention strategy, NPS®, and employee engagement. Darnell is out with a new book, Winning on Purpose: The Unbeatable Strategy of Loving Customers, with co-authors Fred Reichheld and Maureen Burns.

We talked about the original intent of net promoter system. As Darci described in the book, "NPS implemented correctly reveals how consistently a company lives up to its purpose of loving customers." Loving customers? Not all execs will accept this easily, even though the empirical evidence is overwhelming that loyalty leading companies out-perform the market by numerous multiples.

Darci's advice to me, "Be brave."

There's a life lesson.
