Example Scenario: High-Ticket Coaching Business

How this could work for a coaching business with $10M+ annual revenue

The Challenge

Product: $5,000-$15,000 coaching programs

Problem: Students dispute after completing 50-80% of the program, claiming "I never got what was promised"

Old process: Scramble through Kajabi logs, screenshot Zoom attendance, search Slack for messages. Takes 6+ hours per dispute.

Cost: Losing 1-2 disputes per month = $10K-30K lost annually

With CertNode

Setup: CertNode integrates with Kajabi (course platform), Zoom (coaching calls), and Slack (community). Automatically records:

  • βœ“Payment receipt when customer purchases
  • βœ“Content receipts when customer downloads videos/workbooks
  • βœ“Activity receipts for Kajabi logins, lesson completions
  • βœ“Zoom receipts for coaching call attendance
  • βœ“Slack receipts for community messages

When dispute happens:

  1. Click "Export Evidence" in CertNode dashboard
  2. Select date range and dispute type
  3. Get PDF with complete evidence chain in 15 seconds
  4. Submit to bank/processor

Result: Dispute resolution time dropped from 6 hours β†’ 15 minutes
