Customer overlap · Private by design

Find the customers and prospects both companies share.

Compare two customer or prospect lists privately. OnlyCommon reveals only the overlap — so you can co-sell, co-market, and plan expansion together without exposing either company's book of business.

Why overlap matters

One overlap analysis, four go-to-market plays.

The same shared-account list is the starting point for a range of joint motions.

Co-selling

Identify accounts where both sides can walk in warm — customers you both serve, prospects you're both chasing.

Integration adoption

Find the shared customer base most likely to adopt a joint integration and prioritise activation there.

Expansion planning

Spot customers of one side that are prospects of the other — a natural land-and-expand path.

Co-marketing

Target joint campaigns at accounts you actually share, instead of blasting each other's full lists.

What's private, what's shared

What you upload vs what your partner sees.

What your partner sees

Only the accounts that appear on both uploaded lists — matched company, match type, and match confidence.

What your partner never sees

Every account that isn't on both lists. Your unique customers and prospects stay private to your side.

Real-world data

Match messy company records, not just exact strings.

Company names show up differently in every CRM. OnlyCommon normalizes them and looks at multiple identifiers to find genuine matches.

Domain

acme.com, acme.co.uk, subsidiaries

Company name

Cleaned and normalized (suffixes, casing, punctuation)

DUNS

Where present, used as a strong match signal

VAT / registration ID

Regional identifiers where available

Use the report

How teams typically segment the overlap.

OnlyCommon identifies the shared accounts. Your team can then organize the result using the customer, prospect, opportunity, or strategic-account context already maintained in your systems.

Shared customers

Both companies already sell to them — a natural surface for expansion and integration adoption.

Shared prospects

Neither of you has closed them yet — prime co-selling territory.

Active opportunities on either side

A live deal on one side, a relationship on the other — the fastest wins.

Strategic targets

Named-account lists both sides care about — prioritise the top 10–20.

Why not spreadsheets

Manual list exchange is risky and incomplete.

  • Full lists get exposed. Once a spreadsheet leaves your systems, you can't take it back.
  • VLOOKUP misses real matches. Exact-string comparisons treat "Acme, Inc." and "Acme Inc" as different companies.
  • Owners get lost. A merged sheet rarely carries the account-owner context needed to actually co-sell.
  • It doesn't scale. Doing it once for one partner is doable; doing it every quarter for five isn't.

What counts as a "line"?

A line is one account row processed by OnlyCommon. If each company uploads about 100 accounts, the total is 200 lines — which fits comfortably in the free plan. That's enough to run a focused test with a partner before you decide to scale up.

  • 100 rows from your side + 100 from your partner = 200 lines
  • Unlimited users on every plan
  • Lines refresh every month on the free plan
  • No per-seat pricing when you upgrade

Privacy first

Built so neither side has to over-share.

OnlyCommon reveals only the accounts that appear on both lists. Everything else stays private to the side that uploaded it.

Only shared accounts are revealed

Non-matching rows are never shown to the other company. Your full list stays yours.

Raw uploads are deleted after processing

We keep the cleaned match result, not your original spreadsheet.
