Why experts choose Kajabi

Justin Welsh, Content Expert & Solopreneur

There were so many different things that I was trying to cobble together using various solutions, with Zapier... which fails every once in a while. I moved over to Kajabi and had all that stuff under one roof, which was a blessing for my business.
