Your Sales Team Isn't Burned Out — They're Disengaged
Fri Feb 06 2026
Many sales leaders believe their teams are burned out—but the truth is far more subtle and far more dangerous.
In this episode, Ray Higdon explains why most sales teams are not burned out at all. They are quietly disengaged. Unlike burnout, which is loud and obvious, disengagement is silent. People stop showing up, stop participating, and slowly fade away without ever saying a word.
Ray breaks down the three primary reasons sales reps disengage, including leadership messaging that does not speak to them, leaders prioritizing their own goals over their team's goals, and the loss of hope caused by unrealistic success stories.
This episode is essential for sales leaders, network marketing leaders, entrepreneurs, and managers who want to re-engage their teams, improve retention, and lead with clarity instead of pressure.
