i would set up a payment schedule with them based on the timeline of the project, which essentially puts them into the mindset that you're serious about the timeline enough that you want to be paid at intervals throughout the projects duration, that should (be implied, but not specifically related to...) line up with the % of the work that is completed in those milestones. Then the onus is on them to get their moneys worth otherwise they are paying you for the project without it ever progressing.
even if it's a 50% deposit, 25% at 1/2 the work done, then the remaining 25% when the work is completed.. that covers you so if the project drags, the only $ that ever drags is that remaining 25%.
As for inspiring them to move forward with the project quicker, i usually find sending them invoices for amounts due usually do that quite well.
- I set them up with a 50/30/20, because of the lag last year. Good advice.ohhhhhsnap
