I have a business that we market legal service membership which also includes a membership to a website that is full of resources for small business.

Right now I'm using a free directory listing to get me into the door of the small business. I have tried cold calling over the phone with a short script and setting an appointment to go in for the free directory listing. This leads me into talking to them about our legal service membership while I'm there getting their information for the free directory listing. I have also tried walking in cold and asking for the owner or maybe I already have their name and I try to set an appointment to come back in for their directory listing or if they are free I can do it right then. Again this all leads me into talking to them about my service.

What my hang up is, I'm not sure if cold calling over the phone is better than just walking in off the streets. How should I introduce myself and explain why I'm here so I don't sound like the typical run of the mill sales people?? If you have a business, why do you choose to talk to some sales people versus others? Do you prefer someone just walking in cold or would you like for them to call you and set an appointment? Please give me your feedback and any advice you have.

My music teacher once told us that Johann Sebastian Bach dedicated all of his work to God, putting on each piece "To God alone, do I give glory". I'm sure Bach did this, but I'm not entirely sure on the actual quote.

When conjugating reflexive verbs for nosotros in the imperative, how would I do that in both a negative and affirmative situation? Where's the accent? Please can somebody please explain this and give me three or four examples?

With the tú conjugations in the affirmative, when it's conjugated in the imperative if it's a reflexive verb does it get an accent somewhere, and would you attach the ending to it or would it be at the beginning? Like... sientate or te sienta? accent? Actually, should I do this in the Ud. form as well? Please give me examples for these.

One last question. For the tu conjugation do you attach personal pronouns to the end? I know that for regular situations you only attach it to the conjugated verbs, with the indirect object pronoun coming first. Does this change in the imperative mood for affirmative tu commands? Can you give examples for different situations please? Do you add these to Ud. or not?

I know this is a long, hard question, but thanks everyone!

Love Sonnet?
if I pass this to a girl that I like but don't exactly know would she like it? would any girls out there like it?
Ps Its by Shakespeare

Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate.
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer's lease hath all too short a date.
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimm'd;
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance or nature's changing course untrimm'd;
But thy eternal summer shall not fade
Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow'st;
Nor shall Death brag thou wander'st in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou grow'st:
So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.

Also if this isint right would you recommend anything else (poems and sonnets)

Most web-sites I look into have great replicas and all, but I care very little about the authenticity of this particular blade. Bassically, I just want to be able to win a sword fight. Modern materials are good, needs to be durable and very sharp.

I'm specifically looking for a katana, which seems to be the hardest to find without the makers pouring 90% of their effort into authenticity rather than functionality.
