What good cold emails have in common

They're short, they're about the reader, and they ask for something small. Gong's analysis of millions of cold emails found that personalizing around the company tripled reply rates from executives, and that mentioning a peer company in the same industry lifted replies by 88%.

This checker looks for those patterns: under about 125 words, more "you" than "we", one clear question, relevant proof, and no spammy phrasing or link overload. A high score won't save a message sent to the wrong person, so start with a tight ideal customer profile.
