Realtor stager industry differences, why?

I have a question for every real estate professional out there? What are you running up against in the realtor and staging industry? When the going gets tough the tough get going.., then why have there been so many Agents give up!? I know several that said, forget it.., I am done! What is it that makes the agents feel as though stagers are taking money out of their pockets, this has been brought to my attention lately in the class room..? I would like to get a feel on why some feel this way.. help me out here. I believe it isn't the reason at all, some Agents have an intuition that makes the stomach roll which conveys to them: stop, don't ask anymore or tell them, or you will lose this listing..! Come on.. change it up! Help me understand.. I would appreciate any input.. ! Let's help eachother..
