My wife is a sales rep for a dozen companies. Her hottest line? Moderately expensive ladies' apparel sewn in Florida. Around $350 for an outfit (plus accessories), which never goes on the sale rack. The small retailers she sells to always say business could be better, but it ain't bad now. One couldn't wait 2 days for her to show up with new samples, called the company and got whatever they had in stock. Didn't want to lose sales.
I do some housing consulting in addition to my local pursuits. A general contractor I recommended in N. Ohio can't take on a new house until next spring. In S. Carolina another client recently received 48,000 lbs of steel for a new house, he'll be the GC (with a little help). No financial hesitation on his part, the business he has is good.
Even a buddy here, new to independent trucking is finding profitable loads not difficult to come by. He just ordered a custom $2k fuel tank for his truck, that we'll build a custom sleeper over. Unfortunately for him, the tank builder's backed up with previous orders. Freight's moving. Only this afternoon he was talking about expanding his small fleet. I sent him a new haul today.

But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
