Stop Feature Shopping: HubSpot CRM, Vibe Coding & Business Process | Welcome to the Tech Show Ep. 1

Stop feature shopping and start solving real business problems.

In Episode 1 of Welcome to the Tech Show, Thomas Richard and Corné Van Driel — co-founders of Unlimited Tech Solutions, an Elite HubSpot partner — break down the most common and costly mistakes businesses make when implementing CRM systems, automating workflows, and evaluating software.

WHAT WE COVER IN THIS EPISODE:
• Feature shopping vs. problem-first thinking — why showing up with a list of features slows down your implementation
• HubSpot custom cards & CRM customization — how to extend HubSpot natively without expensive Apex-style development
• Real client case study — how we rebuilt a failing in-house proprietary system inside HubSpot, resulting in 300%+ business growth
• Build vs. buy debate — the hidden risks of homegrown systems and single-person dependencies
• Vibe coding — is AI-generated code production-ready? Why prototyping ≠ product
• Business process first, technology second — why bad process + great software = faster garbage
• The danger of key-person dependency in legacy systems

KEY TAKEAWAYS:
A problem well-defined is 80% solved.
The technology isn't the process. The process is the process.
If you can't build it by hand, you shouldn't build it as a product.
