How to use this

  1. Open the company's profile and check its own email format. Companies differ, so this beats any industry average.
  2. If the profile has no format yet, try first.last@ first, then flast@.
  3. Check the address with the email checker before you send. It tests the mailbox without sending a message.

How this is calculated: each address is matched to the contact's name, and only business addresses on the company's own domain are counted. Consumer mail providers such as Gmail are excluded. The sample is the companies with the most contacts in this industry, so it favours larger companies.
