Our Story

By Casey Cunningham, XINNIX Founder and CEO

XINNIX began because I saw a need. I started my sales career in the mortgage industry and after several years of success, it became apparent to me that the vast majority of sales professionals were operating without ever receiving training. To use the terms of my Air Force veteran husband, Rob, our industry was putting new pilots in the air before they knew how to fly. Far too often, they crashed, taking their customers down with them, along with their careers. I wanted better for my colleagues and the customers in the industry that I was serving. I felt a call to serve.

My passion for teaching sales professionals and leaders began upon building the internal training division for my previous employer, the most successful mortgage lender in the Southeast.

 

My expectations were incredibly high for my students as the objective was to build highly competent sales professionals.

We experienced great things because we believed each person had potential for greatness. When an instructor believes in their students, they rise to the occasion. Here, I discovered the formula for success.

This formula ignited a desire within me to create more success stories for all companies.

As a result, XINNIX was born. I shared my vision with my husband for the methods, requirements and standards of excellence I would implement to get the very best results out of my students. They would grow in stages, starting by learning the core knowledge of their industry, then training in the practices and habits of a successful sales professional, then implementing all they had learned to produce dynamic results. The standard and differentiator of our programs became known as The XINNIX System™ which is a unique combination of Training, Accountability and Coaching.

Rob pointed out that my process had striking similarities to military pilot training. In the Air Force, new pilots must demonstrate a mastery of fundamental knowledge before earning access to the flight simulation phase of training. Once in the simulator, trainees must next prove their ability to apply their newly acquired knowledge before gaining access to actually fly in the real world. Once a seasoned instructor pilot gains confidence in the new pilot’s skills, they are released to fly alone.

When I discovered the aviation training model was so close to our XINNIX learning process, I realized we were doing more than just training sales professionals. We were training elite producers.

I didn’t seek merely average students. I sought students ready to defy the odds and do what most people thought impossible.

To train with us, enrollees needed discipline, a robust work ethic, a yearning for greatness and people who believed in them. Not everyone possessed these traits, and not everyone was able to complete our program. But many who did elevated their performance and are among our nation’s finest producers.

"Simply put, we believe that building your people, you can transform your business."

Word got out that XINNIX was the place to train sales professionals serious about taking their production to the next level. As our reputation grew, we knew it was time to introduce the next element of learning. We created Performance Programs to develop every aspect of an organization from new associates to leadership. Our high standards, discipline, and execution requirements remained, as well as our parallels with aviation. When my husband served in the Air Force, he flew the KC-135, the jet refueler. His job was to refuel F-16 pilots in midair. I immediately realized the parallels between his military mission and our XINNIX mission – to refuel front-line sales producers, leaders, and next-generation professionals.

In 2021, the next era was launched. We began to apply the development of new sales and leadership performance programs to all industries.

Our consulting services division is here to transform businesses and to help all companies know where to start when they want to elevate their success

Today, XINNIX provides top-notch expert advice to any company seeking transformational change that will impact the key performance indicators used to track and measure success.

Simply put, we believe that by building your people, you can transform your business.
