Customers’ satisfaction is one of the key components for the industrial development. Many researchers argue that there is a strong, positive relationship between customer satisfaction and business performance. The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between customers’ satisfaction from the three larger mobile companies participated in Greece (Cosmote, Vodafone and Wind) and the business performance of these companies.

Comparable analysis of the relationship between business performance and customers’ satisfaction, it was deployed by using regression models and correlation coefficients. The research findings unveiled that customers’ satisfaction and business performance are positively related.
