Why Data Alone Doesn’t Drive Results (with Paul Pacun, vablet) | Ep. 15
Too many teams still believe the myth: more data equals better decisions. But when your field teams ignore your tools and CRM adoption stays low, it’s time to ask a different question—are we helping people understand the data or just piling it on?
Host Robert Sur sits down with Paul Pacun, founder of Vablet, to explore how sentiment lives in behavior, not surveys—and how true sales enablement starts with listening. With 15 years of experience turning real feedback into business-ready tools, Paul shares how a tablet placed on a patient’s lap sparked insights that helped drive smarter content, better sales conversations, and CRM updates that actually happen.
They unpack how refining data—like turning sand into silicon—requires clarity, context, and constant feedback loops. If you’ve ever rolled out a tool no one used or been asked to build a report no one reads, this episode will hit home.
