売上を伸ばし、無駄をなくす：LLMのリアルな販売スキルをベンチマーク

Sales dialogues require multi-turn, goal-directed persuasion under asymmetric incentives, which makes them a challenging setting for large language models (LLMs). Yet existing dialogue benchmarks rarely measure deal progression and outcomes. We introduce SalesLLM benchmark, a bilingual (ZH/EN) benchmark derived from realistic applications covering Financial Services and Consumer Goods, built from 30,074 scripted configurations and 1,805 curated multi-turn scenarios with controllable difficulty and personas. We propose a fully automatic evaluation pipeline that combines (i) an LLM-based rater for sales-process progress,and (ii) fine-tuned BERT classifiers for end-of-dialogue buying intent. To improve simulation fidelity, we train a user model, CustomerLM, with SFT and DPO on 8,000+ crowdworker-involved sales conversations, reducing role inversion from 17.44% (GPT-4o) to 8.8%. SalesLLM benchmark scores correlate strongly with expert human ratings (Pearson r=0.98). Experiments across 15 mainstream LLMs reveal substantial variability: top-performance LLMs are competitive with human-level performance while the less capable ones are worse than human. SalesLLM benchmark serves as a scalable benchmark for developing and evaluating outcome-oriented sales agents.
