Hopefully, it should be a leading indicator for negative churn -- per-account and new account growth / virality -- and for more complicated products, a way to slice that across different personas and features. ('bakers at high-end restaurants have high NPS for the new precision thermometer tracker while those at regular shops ignore them and have low NPS.')

Esp in early days of B2B products, it's hard to get that because you don't have the volumes and velocity of b2c nor a good way to detect and attribute viral activation. If you are in a startup and not riding the channel of some megacorp, even more so. Alternatives like signups or other activation checkpoints, or say qualitative interviews, are also interesting, but even more spotty. (Ex: startups raising based on GitHub stars.) We don't do NPS as we have our plate full with known funnel holes through less annoying data collection methods, but as soon as we are happy with the baseline funnel, that's the simple next step.
