Real Sales Conversations
Real Sales Conversations is a speech dataset of unscripted sales calls between a seller and a prospective partner. Each conversation is captured as two separate single-speaker files, one per participant. Every row in this dataset is one person's isolated channel with their own demographic metadata attached.
Unique aspects of this data
Each participant was recorded on their own device.
Interruptions, backchannels, natural turn-taking behavior present
Real sales conversations, not read or role-played prompts. These are unscripted calls with the disfluencies, hesitation, and turn-taking dynamics of actual business conversation.
Accent and demographic diversity. Speakers span 6 regions of origin including non-US, across multiple age ranges and ethnicities (4 female, 10 male).
What this data is best for
- Speech-to-speech and conversational agents in a sales or business context, where realistic turn-taking and interruption handling matter.
- ASR on conversational telephony speech. The recordings sit in the acoustic range production call systems actually encounter.
Speaker metadata
Each file carries metadata for the speaker on that channel.
- Role (
SellerorPartner) - Age range
- Gender
- Ethnicity (blank where not recorded)
- Where they grew up (accent info)

Acoustic caveats
These are real-world call recordings, not studio captures
- Narrowband source. Despite the 44.1/48 kHz containers, effective bandwidth is ~9.8 kHz with a ~1.7 kHz 95% energy rolloff. This is call-codec audio, upsampled. Only ~1.6% of energy sits above 3.4 kHz.
- VoIP noise gating. Non-speech regions are frequently gated to exact digital silence, up to 49% of a file. Reported SNR excludes those gated frames, since including them yields a meaningless ~99 dB.
- Mixed sample rates across, and in one case within, conversations.
