Please check your emails (both body and signature) for spammy content e.g. lots of exclamation marks; "must read"; attention getting, large and/or gaudy coloured text; text the same colour as the background; tiny text; [almost] zero height images; links hidden under text, images or links with a different URL; etc. All or any of these may mark you as a spammer at Google. (Thanks "KeithR".)
If your recipients have previously marked your email as Spam, Google will have learnt from this. The recipients will need to mark as "Not Spam". Don't send unsolicited emails!
Gmail give the recipients (if a Gmail account) a banner message as to why the mail is in Spam. You need to get the Gmail banner message from a recipient. This message may have important clues for you.
Why emails have spam warning labels helps recipients understand why mail is flagged as Spam by Gmail. - Prevent mail to Gmail users from being blocked or sent to spam also needs reading.
Sometimes, but not always, removing links from any signature and/or body of the emails can help. Any URL's in the body of the mail which lead to insecure sites may need to be removed. Use Safe Browsing site status to validate these. Google also seem to be rejecting "http"; need "https".
If the issue is with forwarded mail, you need to study Best ways to forward mail to Gmail.
