In this study they have analyzed unobservable and observable customer metrics and how these metrics affect Financial Performance of the firm. After analyzing the linkage between unobservable construct and Financial Performance the researchers found that customer satisfaction have a strong and positive impact on firms Financial Performance. They Also found that customer retention is one of the most important driver of CLV and firms profitability.

Gupta et al(2006) highlighted the impact of customer metrics on the firms financial performance. In this study they have analyzed unobservable/perceptual and observable/behavioural customer metrics and how these metrics affect financial performance of the firm. They considered Observable behavior as the behavior that is related to purchase and consumption of any product or service .Unobservable behavior is the behavior that is related to attitude and behavioural intentions of the customers. The impact of the metrics is studied in three parts: Impact of unobservable constructs (customer satisfaction, service quality ,loyalty and intentions to purchase) on the firms financial performance; impact of observable construct (customer acquisition, customer retention, cross selling, customer lifetime value, customer equity) on financial performance and the impact of unobservable construct on observable construct. After analyzing the linkage between unobservable construct and financial performance the researchers found that customer satisfaction have a strong and positive impact on Firms financial performance but the nature of linkage between satisfaction and profitability is asymmetric and nonlinear which proves that the impact of decrease is satisfaction have a much stronger impact on ROI than increase in satisfaction. Furthermore, the researcher established that satisfaction profit link shows greater variations among firms within the same industry rather than across industries. Also Satisfaction have larger impact in service industries where the quality of a firm is determined by frontline executives. When the researchers have studied the effect of observable metrics on firms financial performance they found that the marketing decision which are based on observed customer metrics such as CLV Improves firms financial performance and customer retention is one of the most important driver of CLV and firms profitability. Also they found that the Customer equity and CLV provide the good basis to assess the Market value of the firm. After analyzing the impact of unobservable metrics on observable metrics researchers opined that customer satisfaction and customer retention are positively correlated but the relationship between other observable and non-observable constructs is not well established. Also the customer satisfaction and service quality are strongly correlated with behavioral intentions and these behavioral intentions dont predict the actual behavior of the customers because the actual behavior of the customers is also affected by a large number of situational factors and monetary constraints.
