B-1 for self-employed advertising consultant seeking U.S. clients -

As an advertising consultant specializing in creating website-enhanced sales text and audio narrative, as well as TV/radio ad campaigns, am I permitted, under a B-1 visa, to conduct 'cold' sales/prospecting calls in the U.S. over a 2-3 month period, seeking to create new clients, provided that I create no work whatsoever in the U.S., deliver no work whatsoever in the U.S. and arrange for all fees to be paid directly to my Canadian office?Thank you, David. (Would it be under the B-1 'sales calls', 'contract negotiations' or 'adevertising personnel' category that I'd qualify?)Sincerely,
