Benchmarking the Personalization Capabilities of Large Language Models

Benchmarking the Personalization Capabilities of Large Language Models

Short summary

This paper benchmarks LLM personalization capabilities through a Bayesian Persuasion framework applied to sales outreach, releasing SDR-Bench with 6,279 customer success stories across 22 industries. Frontier LLMs and deep-research agents show a consistent personalization plateau, with no model statistically separating successful from unsuccessful outreach on a Fortune 100 cohort. A field deployment with 12 sales reps validated the framework, with 48% of model-generated content rated immediately useful and senior-expert agreement at Pearson 0.82.
