"We're designed to help improve your'e company's performance in the critical area of XYZ."

- your'e

- company's

If it is worth millions of dollars do a spellcheck.

You're right that taking the time to proofread and grammar/spell check is good, but in this particular case the performance is that of your company. Thus, "company's" is correct. :-)

The other is probably a typo, which might lend authenticity to it having been actually typed out by the CEO, rather than pasted from an archive.

I've heard that misspellings can actually improve the response rate. I'd believe that - felt more personal to me.
Authenticity. That's a great point. It could still be faked authenticity, of course :-)
