    1) Conduct hassles about payment with the accounting department. You don't want to pollute your relationship with your creative contact hassling about money. Try to keep dealing with money separate from your dealing with creative staff.
    2) Get a cash in hand deposit up front before you start work. If they balk at this, just point out that you cannot be expected to finance their (or their client's) projects.
    3) The terms for payment should not be dictated by the client. Your terms should be stated on your contract.
    4) If they balk, and say, "We're not like your bad old clients who stiffed you!" you say, "Prove it."
