A buying committee role is marked as not covered when Dealtree cannot confidently map a stakeholder to that role. This does not always mean the role does not exist. It usually means there is not enough available information yet from the org chart, Seller Context, account notes, or stakeholder data to identify the right person.

​
Pre-conditions

Before reviewing uncovered roles, make sure you have:
  • Created a Dealtree account
  • Logged in to your workspace
  • Added at least one account
  • Opened the Account Workspace from the Accounts Dashboard
  • Set up your Seller Context
  • Generated or synced the Org Chart
  • Generated the Buying Committee

​
What Does “Not Covered” Mean?

“Not covered” means Dealtree has not found a strong enough match for a specific buying committee role. For example, Dealtree may not be able to identify:
  • The Economic Buyer
  • The Champion
  • The End User
  • The Technical Buyer
  • The Blocker
  • Procurement or Legal This can happen when the account data is limited, the org chart is incomplete, the stakeholder is not visible, or your notes do not yet include enough deal context.

​
Why Uncovered Roles Matter

Uncovered roles can point to gaps in your account strategy. For example:
  • If the Economic Buyer is not covered, you may not know who controls the budget.
  • If the Champion is not covered, you may not have a strong internal supporter.
  • If the End User is not covered, you may not know who will use the product.
  • If the Technical Buyer is not covered, technical approval may appear later as a surprise.
  • If the Blocker is not covered, hidden objections may still exist.
  • If Procurement or Legal is not covered, the deal may slow down near closing. These gaps help you decide what to investigate next.

​
Steps to Handle an Uncovered Role

​
Step 1: Review the Missing Role

Open the Buying Committee tab and identify which role is not covered. Look at the role carefully and ask what kind of stakeholder would usually fit that role for your product or service.

​
Step 2: Check Your Seller Context

Go to the Seller section and review your product name, category, and description. Make sure your Seller Context clearly explains what you sell, who uses it, and what problem it solves. A clear Seller Context helps Dealtree identify more relevant stakeholders.

​
Step 3: Review the Org Chart

Open the Org Chart tab and review the Master Org Chart. Look for stakeholders who may match the uncovered role based on job title, seniority, department, or relevance to your product.

​
Step 4: Browse Relevant Departments

Use department views to focus on teams that may be connected to the missing role. For example:
  • For Economic Buyer, review leadership, revenue, finance, or department heads.
  • For Champion, review people close to the business problem.
  • For End User, review the team that would use the product daily.
  • For Technical Buyer, review technical, systems, IT, product, engineering, security, RevOps, or operations teams.
  • For Procurement or Legal, review finance, procurement, legal, compliance, or operations teams.
  • For Blocker, review stakeholders who may be affected by cost, risk, implementation, or workflow change.

​
Step 5: Add Missing Stakeholders

If you know a relevant stakeholder who is not listed in the org chart, add them manually. Include as much accurate information as possible, such as name, title, department, and LinkedIn profile URL if available.

​
Step 6: Add Account Notes

Use the Notes tab to add any known context about the missing role. For example: The VP Sales likely owns the budget, but we need to confirm with our champion. Or: Procurement has not been introduced yet. Champion said finance usually reviews vendor approval after technical sign-off. Clear notes help Dealtree understand the account better.

​
Step 7: Ask Your Champion

If you have a Champion or main contact, ask them to clarify the missing role. You can ask:
  • Who owns the budget for this?
  • Who will use this day to day?
  • Who needs to approve technical fit?
  • Who usually reviews contracts or vendor approval?
  • Who might have concerns about this?
  • Who else should be involved before we move forward?

​
Step 8: Regenerate the Buying Committee

After updating Seller Context, syncing organization data, adding stakeholders, or adding notes, regenerate the Buying Committee. This allows Dealtree to use the updated information and try to map the previously uncovered role.

​
What to Do by Role

​
If the Economic Buyer Is Not Covered

Find out who controls the budget or final approval. Review senior leaders, department heads, founders, VPs, or business unit owners. Ask your Champion who needs to approve the purchase.

​
If the Champion Is Not Covered

Look for someone who feels the pain strongly and is willing to help you internally. A Champion should be more than interested. They should help you understand the account, introduce stakeholders, or push the deal forward.

​
If the End User Is Not Covered

Identify the people or team who will use the product after purchase. Ask your main contact who experiences the problem daily and who will be responsible for adoption.

​
If the Technical Buyer Is Not Covered

Check whether technical approval is required. Review technical, operations, systems, IT, security, product, engineering, or RevOps stakeholders depending on your product.

​
If the Blocker Is Not Covered

Do not assume there are no blockers. Ask your Champion who may object, what concerns may come up, and what could slow down the deal. Ask when procurement or legal usually enters the buying process. Review finance, procurement, legal, compliance, vendor management, or operations stakeholders.

​
Important Notes

  • “Not covered” is a signal to investigate, not a final answer.
  • Missing roles are common in early account research.
  • Add notes whenever you learn new information about a missing role.
  • Use Sync Organization if the org chart looks outdated or incomplete.
  • Add missing stakeholders manually when needed.
  • Regenerate the Buying Committee after improving the account context.
  • Use uncovered roles to guide your next sales questions and outreach strategy.
